You have to point the finger at finishing. Gomez was the biggest offender. Unlike him but there you go.

I love you Wilshere haha!

He's 28...
The dude is 28. Bayern has been in like 4 finals within the last 13 years. He's likely to get at least another shot.
Wow. It's about time he gets snatched up by a big team.
He's a full-back (wing-back) so he is very likely to start dropping his level in a year or two.
Yes, Neuer said after the semis: "I didn't know that Ramos liked to kick penalties over the goal."
There was no surprise in that, Ramos is already an established asshole!
eh, like you say, the spine of this Bayern team is young. Already been in two finals in three years, can't see Bayern falling off significantly in the near future. I mean, Drogba's 34, Cole's 31, and, besides the odd defensive mishap here and there, they're still strong as ever. Especially in the big games.
He'll get another shot.
I've got the feeling that while they had their fair share of chances most of them were pretty crappy. I dont think any of the Gomez chances were "most score opportunities", i think the Olic / DVB one was the only sitter in the game (immediately had flashback to the 1996 Euro semifinal against England, when Gascoine missed (or created?) that you huge chance in overtime and knew that luck wasnt on our side).
HOLY SHIt
Zanetti is how old again? lahm doesn't rely so much on his pace. He'll be here for many more years barring a serious injury.

I don't think Bayern had real weaknesses apart from horrible set pieces.
True. I dunno Chelsea this season have been able to crush the spirit of some great teams.
What I found odd was Bayern found how to get into Chelsea, they would go out wide then not cross or go to the center but attack right at the hinge of the Chelsea defence. It worked like a treat and gave them chances but still they couldnt put Chelsea down.
Their finishing today was dreadful, but the only real team weakness, imo, is they have no depth in the squad - their bench isn't strong enough to relieve their starting line-up.
another failure of the match: inverted wingers. Once Bertrand had been named in the starting XI, Ribery and Robben should've at least switched it up once in a while, because the midfield was just so clogged that Robben or Ribery would never get enough space to put in a long range volley... and everyone cutting in probably made it far more difficult for Gomez to take his chances.
That's "Robbery" for you, both like to go inside and then it's see what happens. Usually it works out, sometimes it doesnt.
Does promise not count for anything these days?
lol
Please no. We don't need another mediocre mf.
He's going to contribute a great deal to sports science over the course of his career.
Madrid need a makalele.
Apart from the goal where Cole didn't defend Muller and just tried to put off Gomez, he had a sotrming game against Robben. Bertrand did his job well too.
:lol :lol. seriously though, he didn't fuck anyone's wife or anything... it's fucking Twitter

Probably but Modric isn't the one.
WTF? The guardian gave robben a 9 for a player rating
all he does is cut in and waste a cross. i don't think he had a decent deal ball all night, either

Spurs titanic failure is amusing, but its hardly like Arsenal covered themselves in glory either. I shudder to think how they would (will) fare without RVP.
Hm, Gomez got a 5, which makes me wonder what you have to do to earn a lower rating.
...but that's the Mario we all know and love!
Should've got Paul pogba
I understand Bayern fans find him frustrating but Im sure every time Robben got on the ball and started running at the defense Chelsea's hearts were in their mouths.
Probably the same as we did with him. See: Fabregas/Nasri (wait, we actually finished a place higher than last season! shame about the qualifying rounds... again. ugh) If anything, RVP going might actually force Wenger to spend some fuckin' money!

We're in the group stage proper btw regardless.
What did Jack do? I would imagine he is mocking Spurs on Twitter, he does that a lot. lol

iirc we don't have qualifying rounds.
Really? I've heard conflicting reports about this.... I really really hope this is true.
on second thought tho, the 8-2 was probably the best thing that happened to Arsenal this season, so I could do with another one of those.
Slightly less humiliating plz.

I hope so, there are only so many times I can hear hackneyed cliches from the commentators about how this group is full of "potential".

Actually, Bayern didn't have too many 100% chances (I think Barca had more). And Gomez didn't miss anything like that:
(notice the godly Klose)
But he still missed a great deal.
And he is the wrong striker for Robbery & without a good 10er. You either have him and two servicing wingers (like Müller), or have someone capable of participating in vertical attacks (like Lewandowski or pretty much any other top striker).

:/ I really shouldn't feel bad for Spurstheir collapse this season was even worse than Man Utd'sbut damn they don't have a sugar daddy like Chelsea (or Man City) and not every player is sailing off to Madrid or Barca.
There is a reason Arsenal and Tottenham aren't going to win anything in the next few years, because both are very well run. As much as I dislike Arsenal, I like them because they are well run and play attractive football.
Pointless being a well run club though when you have oil rich people wanting a hobby.
FFP won't change a damn thing either.
Wanna firstly send my commiserations to Bayern-GAF and to a lesser extent, Spurs-GAF. Horrible to lose everything on penalties.
But hey, I am a Chelsea fan. To say I'm happy is a massive understatement. The perfect denouement to the last seven years as well as putting the spectre of Moscow to bed. In a daze if I'm honest, ain't sunk in.

Same here, even Arsenal were unsure themselves up to the 15th.
I think it's all based on the Coefficients, so i think two teams in the playoffs get put back into the qualifying rounds and Anderlecht FC now go into the playoff stage, instead of getting into the group stage proper.
Typical Uefa fuckery.
