Sturridge's pace and a Super Saiyan Sterling could change that slightly, but I agree with the general sentiment.

We're fairly different now to the side you played at Christmas.

It's what makes the game that much more exciting. I have no clue how it's going to go down on Sunday.

Playing like this is fine if it is your only option.

But to have spent the amount Chelsea have spent and to still play like this is pretty shocking.

I'm sure mourinho and everyone else associated with Chelsea feels great sorrow and sends their apologies to you, for not living up to your football morals.

It's not the only way. But for Chelsea it very much of the way. .
I've got no problem with how Chelsea win. Bayern are worse imo, their pointless passing is the most boring shit ever but while it works they will keep doing it so an early Madrid goal is required.

Atletti need a goal to open this game up more.

Also I expect Atleti to park the bus at Stamford Bridge so all fair game imo.
 
mourinho is the most overrated coach of all time, given all the resources he has and the amount of money he spends all he does in big games is camp 11 players in his own pen box. so boring, there is more to football than getting results.

Hes the Chelsea manager. Roman doesnt give out his oil blood money for fun he does it to win, you saw how happy he was when he held the Champions League trophy in Munich a couple of years ago, that feel of victory... is all that matters.

Yeah, such as Mourinho could have easily purchased a striker this summer instead of the players he purchased, or even played Lukaka.

Lukaku bottled it after he pissed up the Super Cup, Jose knew he wasnt ready after that and he kicked off asking to leave. I dont think Lukaku was reasonably an option.

Liverpool should be fun to watch in the CL next year, Rogers and Suarez on the big stage

I'm kind of hoping we end up in a group of death tbh. I'm not expecting a big campaign first year back, but I'm really interested to see how we fare against the big guns in Europe.
 
haha. Who do you support m8? Stick around.
i support football.

i actually like mourinho personality and if i was a manager i would be like him in regards to attitude towards a game. i wouldnt care how boring my team is to watch as long as they get the result HOWEVER i am not a manager and have 0 affiliation with any club so i dont care about the result i just want to be entertained.

also what annoys me are mourinho/cristiano fans, they are truly the worst

You know you can admit that your team plays shit football. It's ok. Mourinho isn't going to slap you through the tv.

Thank God it's Real - Bayern toworrow so we don't have to witness this shit.

It's like they're trying to put their opponents to sleep.
 
How is it overrated if it delivers results?

the manner in which he delivers results. his clubs have 0 style, he spends loads of money just to have those expensive skillfull players park the bus in big games and leaves a trail of chaos after he leaves the club. short-term manager, quick fixes, doesnt deserve the praise he gets.

I just hope we throw whatever we have to at Simeone to get Koke.

I'd bite my own dick off for that, but in reality we're almost certain to get priced out for players like him and Reus. Sad. Still believe in Rodgers to sign some more gems though.

This game is nothing but background noise as I browse other threads. What a disgrace for a CL semi, it's Greek league shit.

Mou's gambling. He wants 0-0 here and want to win it over at the bridge, but Atletico is going to have the goal advantage if they score over there, which they will if Chelsea bothers to attack then.
