Greatihex:
So, PSG had no shot on target despite having more possession.

I have noticed that pep's is no longer obsessed with having more possession in every match. They now feel comfortable to concede possession when needed to win their matches. That's a good improvement.

hensben:
By conforming and using the best talent in messi of course the tactics became popular, just as Conte made 3 at the back popular.

MorataFC:
The only and one remaining hurdle for Chelsea to clinch its second ucl title is real Madrid, mark my words and bookmarked this page, city have no chance, I repeat city has no chance against Chelsea if they scale Tru real madru.

TLona1:


Lol...

2018, Klopp went trophiless so remove that one out.

2019, he had to buy a couple of good players to win the UCL... even at that, he was still smelling Pep's yansh in the league.

2020, Liverpool won the league.. Covid distraction and all that..

BikeMan:
I've not seen Havertz turn up against bigger opponents. He's not my kind of striker.

MorataFC:
who possession epp?
He's learning from his master(s)

I'd prefer Kai as false nine than Giroud. We need runners and players that can quickly counter.

swiz123:


Conte became popular is being dumped out of UCL group stages. Heck, someone even questioned using 3 at the back as being counter productive against big teams, hence UCL failures.

A bad coach will always impress people on short term basis. The good ones show longevity and consistency.

HewlettPackard:
I know this club, we dey turn up when the stakes are high. Madrid are out CFC in the final.

popizaino:
Let me wait till Chelsea makes the final before I attack all this anti pop's post .


You all going to tell me why man united haven't made UCL semifinals despite her spending ...

TLona1:


After he did away with Nasri, Zabaleta, Toure, Joe Hart and almost all the players in the first 11 he met, what did you expect him to do boss?

FFS he had to rebuild hence the massive overhaul and we're seeing the results now.

popizaino:


Who is not exceptional talent pls ?

raumdeuter:


In the same time Chelsea and Man Utd have spent close to the same amount yet do not have the same level of success

Skimpledawg:

Omo, dey remember punctuate make we dey know watsup abeg

Roland17:


I think the level of success in this context is compared to City’s standard in my opinion. The bald-bipolar spent the GDP of 2 developing nations to replicate the success of his predecessors, I don’t see anything unique in that. It has taken him 5 years to finally make an appearance in a UCL finals.

IF HE WINS THE UCL WITH CITY, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE HIM TO REPLICATE THIS SUCCESS?

Roland17:


Bar the UCL title with City, those players won everything Pep has won thus far, so what are we talking about? A massive overhaul was required to win competitions his predecessors also won? Are you serious?

Considering the quality of players he has coached and the cost associated with these players, isn’t it an indictment on the bald-bipolar that it has taken him 5 years to get a UCL finals appearance with City?

raumdeuter:


So why do successful clubs hire coaches?

E.g Naggelsman hired by Bayern, what would he win that has not been won before by the players? That means nothing Naggelsman can win will qualify as a success given your criteria

Same for any coach who managed Madrid, Barcelona Liverpool etc

hensben:
Will the coach overhaul Bayern and spend 1b before winning those trophies?

Greatihex:
on a very good day, zidane has nothing on pep. Zidane has proven to know anything tactically.

popizaino:



I don't understand this your statement

BikeMan:
As seen on Jack's app

Skimpledawg:

Omo, dey remember punctuate make we dey know watsup abeg

MorataFC:
one thing is sure tonight, I saw a red card or a pk against Ramos and I saw a 'almost Hat-Trick from


Let me keep that.

I am still waiting for us to make finals make we know for real if you are for us or against us.

PDPGuy:

Lol
Yes

popizaino:



Apostle,I know you're kidding but one thing is sure,most of you here don't stan this Chelsea more than I do.

I can never be against my team and if I ever did it was during sarri's time and Mourinho's second spell.

raumdeuter:


How much is needed to overhaul an ageing team before they can win trophies? or you expect him to continue using Yaya Kompany, Sagna etc who went into retirement
Abi why is Chelsea not using Gary Cahill and Cech right now
Basically, your complaint is How dare Pep did not win with players who are old and retired
