BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Since I do not like Barca or their tiki taka or whatever one calls it I would not want to see Chelsea playing it.Still I would not want to see the club in defensive mode for 70 minutes of any game.If it won us trophies, I wouldn't give a shit.You don't look in the history books for it to say: Chelsea FC: European Champions 2012 (but they played shit defensive football for three games against two of the best teams in the competition), it just says we're the Champions of Europe. By hook or by crook, I don't give a fuck.I'd rather win a game playing shit football 1-0, than draw 1-1 because we left ourselves too open. Look at Arsenal, then look at us, and tell me which tactic works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Arsenal, then look at us, and tell me which tactic works better. Trophies that were won, I am very pleased about them. Nonetheless, I prefer good offensive football played by Chelsea. I believe, I already had explained myself here. Different strokes for different folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Everyone would rather see the attractive style - I don't believe there is any member here who wouldn't be delighted if we resumed the style under Ancelotti when scoring five or more goals was considered a normality.The grim reality is that the English Premier League is far too competitive for that style. You can succeed fighting fire with fire against another passing side like Swansea, but the minute you go up against a ten-man defence, á la Stoke, you are dropping points.

bushman 2,043 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I agree. However, if one looks at the fire power of Manure he could see plenty of offense & scoring goals.A good offense is & has been a good defense too.Most likely, we may even see an avalanche of offensive power by Real tonight. Personally, I like that style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at United against Madrid as a prime example. Madrid who aren't even that renowned for their passing game compared to Bayern and Barca.

However, there are the team to beat in CL competition this year, I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Apparently he's been removed from all Munich footage on the big screen and also air-brushed from a photo on the West wall.Absolutely disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me to be honest. I'll check that next Saturday. Stamford Bridge is like a fucking dictatorship the way Chelsea TV won't say a bad word about Rafa, they don't allow banners for fans to give their opinions and now this. Absolute bullshit.

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Disgusting!You really couldn't make it up. Any other club would have the bloke down as a legend. His face would be plastered everywhere.Not us. How embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are the team to beat in CL competition this year, I feel.Agreed i find it boring as fuck as well, plus no one seem to care that they cant get a goal against anyone who decided to defend and counter attack, surely that's a deficiency in their game.All teams need balance of defence/offence, its that simple, if you can play a bit of everything well there's no reason to loose against anyone.also in reference to above about De Matteo, that is sickening, i'l be calling for abramovich's head yet aswell as the board.

diskoviolente 425 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 And our fans ask why people think we are still small and plastic club..Exactly. It hurts me so much to read about stuff like that. How is it possible that at the end of last season I felt never better about Chelsea, never more proud. And then this ? A few months later the fans and the legacy get kicked in the teeth by the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusek 2,031 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Is there any news/link about that? Fucking embarrassing if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
