I agree the goal was beautiful, but James was also ball watching there

Allowed him room to attempt

Have you ever played football at any level?

If you have you'll know there's very little to nothing anyone could've done there.

If Dortmund can just knockout the bald fraud tomorrow.

We only need one bald manager in the semis.

Let's agree to disagree

Our attack isn't good enough to beat PSG, Madrid or City tbh, but I believe our the organisation of our defence gives us a decent chance of a result

Come on lads

BikeMan:
Raumdeuter won't forget this face.

Boatank had him in his back pocket today .

BlueMann:
I lost count of how many fouls Pulisic won
Thank God became through unscathed.

Seriously! I don dey fear o Pulisic wey be plastic leg

Thecassanova:
We don’t need to rush our energy, we playing city next.

A more crucial game to our top 4 hope . I’m sure Tuchel told the players to calm down & see off the game.

... But that game no be epl nao

James was nearly faultless all night long. That goal was just special. Not Cafu, Carlos Alberto, Djalma Santos, Lahm, Josimar, Gary Neville, Alves, Costacurta, Maicon or Tassoti would've done anything there.

raumdeuter:


9years ago. I won 9 months ago

Both in the past now. Just that one hurts you so much, you can't bear anything coloured blue since then.

This was you that night.

Make him carry him pocket go play UCL semis na

Nezzjnr:
Sane is lazy though


Damn!!

lazy or selfish or both, he should be loaned to QPR with option 'not to be sold to any club'.

Nezzjnr:

Damn!!

Him follow eliminate Bayern sha

This Bayern Munich vs PSG match and Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid 2016 during pep Guardiola last season are the UCL matches I have enjoyed most in recent years.

Bossman, I feel our attack IS good enough to beat those teams you mentioned. We might not have seemed overly convincing in terms of our attack, but I feel it has more to do with the approach from the manager, rather that the incapability of the attackers to perform. At the moment, Tuchel prefers to keep things under control, so he prefers to be more conservative and frustrate opponents. This is a stop gap approach, cause it is a contrast to the relentless gegenpressing TT is known for.

But when we decide to be more expressive and dial it up a notch, we can cause serious problems for anybody. Just that TT prefers taking a different approach for now.

Madrid will be tough to beat, but it’s not impossible to beat them.

The only threat I see in that team is their midfielders, they don’t have the finishers it’ll take to dismantle our organized defense.


Hopefully, Tuchel considers Giroud as an option against them, because I can’t stand watching Harvertz against Ramos and Varane.

We’ll meet them, play them and if possible, knock them out like we did to Barcelona the best and most feared team in 2012 then.

Like this now, I no fear anybody papa for this UCL, bring them on.

If you dial things up ten notches with Werner and Havertz in that attack, I no get hope.

I'm banking on defensive solidity to see us through, cos our attack is largely toothless

You've got a good point sha.

Nateevs2:
We are not controlling. Kovacic is essential to that control we assert in midfield.

Thanks for this, na monkey post analysts dey pray make Kovacic no play.

Last time Chelsea played Bayern

popizaino:
This Bayern Munich vs PSG match and Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid 2016 during pep Guardiola last season are the UCL matches I have enjoyed most in recent years.

The Bayern home and away vs Chelsea last season were the games I enjoyed the most

Mbape is just too good.


The way he played with Bayern’s defenders in the first leg eh! The guy too gel abeg, Na complete package.

BikeMan:
Raumdeuter, by the time my team plays the UCL semi-final , what will yours be playing?

Semo-vita

Respect to a legend in the making!

PDPGuy:
Respect to a legend in the making!

The most underrated player I've seen after busquets

Chelsea is in semis, while Bayern isn’t?


Mehn! Football is unpredictable sha.

raumdeuter:

Tbf with you I'm being honest.


There is nothing to enjoy about one sided game like the match between Chelsea and bayern Munich last season.

Some people glorify Horberg but disregard Fabregas


Inside life

Some people only watch football for assist forgetting midfield work is multidimensional - creativity, control and defensive and Fabregas is abysmal at control and defensive aspect.

No wonder Monaco glued him to bench and he could only start 6 matches In Ligue1 this season as they challenge for title. Last season when they gave him shirt, he nearly relegated them.

Two Hojbergs will kill two Fabregas in any midfield battle.

He's in his thirties, his legs are gone.

Why did Bayern chase Hojbjerg away? Since he is a killer

Have his legs been gone since 2015 when he has been a bench player back-to-back for 6 seasons straight?

He only just turned 33 and been a bench player since 27. His mates are still starring in top clubs and he can't even make Monaco first eleven after nearly relegating them two seasons in a row.

There is a reason why professional managers keep benching him for 6 seasons while armchair romantics fantasize about his assists. There's nothing to discuss about Fabregas that couldn't even fill common Matic shoes.

The two rough Malian or Guinean niggas benching him at Monaco are not even Hojbergs level.

Well, he won a lot as a starter even though he had to be played further forward with his country, simply because of the brilliance of Xavi.

At a point he was keeping a striker out of the Spain NT in a major Tournament.

Fab has his deficiencies especially on the defensive side, but to write him off totally is a no-no. There are very few players who are better on the ball and who have his vision and eye for a pass.

No Kovacic against Man City
