Nihilist: No you are the one that goofed and looking for an escape route. The difference is that Fernandinho usually play as a DM for City while KDB was just used as a false nine in this particular match. whether Pep use 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1, Fernandinho either plays as the DM or as the B2B if Fernando is on the pitch, claiming otherwise means you don't watch any City matches or you just want to argue for fun. Show/List any match/matches where Fernandinho plays as the CM. Thank you. 20 Likes |

SailorXY: What L? Even Barca fans on their thread were saying that city were out playing them before fernandinho fell down. That was pretty obvious to anybody who has at least one functioning eyeball. Then the city boys started making mistakes after mistake. No set of tactics in this world can cover for 3 hardworking idiots in bravo, stones and kolarov. |

See Messi,Neymar,Iniesta and Suarez moving in acres of space and some people are trying to tell us about sexy football You have a weak defence against the best attack there is,and a midfield that can't stand your opponent's and you come out all pressing and attacking to subscribe to one yeye ideology of football....... Oga park the bus like a boss You have Messi and co running at your defenders with so much space,what tactics is that? 14 Likes |

Ibime: It was obvious you weren't watching the match already. When I made that comment City were already 1-0 down sef...but they were still very much in the game. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 10:02pm On Oct 19, 2016 |
Nihilist: Maybe you possess little sense of danger, or little sense of space on a football pitch. I can watch a match where a team look to be playing well and know thet will get hammered just by the amount of space they afford the opponent. Pep specialised in that whenever he took Bayern to face Barca. 10 Likes |

bigkesh: Until that red card, Messi et al were not seeing space at all. That lucky goal was the only shot on target Barca had that half and they only managed 3 shots the entire first half...and that included a freekick. 3 Likes |

Nihilist:I guess you were trying a subtle shade/dig but boy am I glad it backfired Fernandinho played dm today, I don't know what you are saying. As for your earlier statement about balance. Chelsea is very much imbalanced but I am glad conte has discovered a unique formation that tries to bring out the best of this squad. |

Nihilist:And when you are a man down against Barca at camp nou every normal being who isn't an extremist like Pep would close the shop and hope to hit on the counter.... That he even came out and allowed Barca a lot of space with a numerical disadvantage shows he is a dunce... Like we have not seen a team beat barca with a red card.. It could have easily been 7,Neymar miss PK sef.....This is Pep in every big game,embarrassing score lines from all angles 7 Likes |

Nihilist: 3 months ago after Man City's first two matches, me and my guy had discussed that we can't wait to see City face Barca, they will get hammered. I don't need to speculate what I already know as facts. It would be naive of me to watch City doing initial gra gra in the first 30 mins, then when they inevitably get soundly beaten, act all shocked like #haneveresperredit. After your criticisms of Jose tactics against Liverpool, this was the perfect opportunity to show ninjas how a manager should approach big games. Pepper never rest, you started hailing Peps tactics upandan because of initial gra gra, only to find they got the disgrace of their life. Don't tell me youneveresperredit! 11 Likes 4 Shares |

I just don't understand. Before Bravo's mistake, Barca were outplayed by City. Messi, Suarez and Co were made to look ordinary. Why are people not giving Guardiola his due respect for outplaying and rendering Barca useless till Bravo's moment of madness? Even at Nou Camp, Barca had only one shot on target in the first-half. Only Atletico's ultra-defensive style can limit Barca to such shocking stat. Even Barca fans in the bar with me were shocked and could hardly make noise the entire first-half. 3 Likes |

donjazet: You might as well pull me up for saying city had no striker despite playing KDB upfront. There's a difference between a players natural position and where he plays on the pitch. I didn't want to go into a cheap discussion similar to the Macsherano debate on thr Bayern thread because I felt the meaning of my post was pretty obvious. I agree with your second post and that's the point that I was trying to make. Forget out balance, it's about how the manager sets up his team...tactics is the key difference between a Pep and a Pellegrini. It's a shame it disn't quite work out for him today though. 1 Like |

raumdeuter:Very much possible. This match pretty much shows why Pep won't win the CL. He is simply too idealistic in his approach to the game. It's not everyday sexy football, sometimes reign it in a little bit. No way Jose or Simeone looses that game 4 Nil 2 Likes |

nateevs: Depends!!! It is one thing to have a game plan and another to execute it perfectly. Against bigger teams, Mou plans to sit back, stiffle the opponents fluid attack and counter or captilize on the opponents error. I simply don't know why you guys criticize that. It hardly happens for a mourinho's team to lose 3-0 or 4-0 but whenever fraudiola meets a superior team na to dey collect goals dey go . Tactics inflexibility is what has cost Arsene wenger, trophies for many years and I bet you if fraudiola doesn't become tactically flexible when required, it will definitely cost him. 1 Like |

Ibime: Guy I say when I made that post, City were already 1 nil down so no be say dem shoot bird e mama fly. Barca scored a lucky goal but City were still very much in the game...then Bravo struck. I honestly did not esperredat... |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by bigkesh(m): 10:21pm On Oct 19, 2016 |
nateevs: See when you are playing a team with superior quality, your first worry should be how to stop them not trying t attack them because if the game is open before Silva or KDB create a chance,Iniesta and Messi don create 5.. If you park the bus and limit the space, Before Silva creates a chance Messi and Iniesta can't get more than 2 even if they have all the ball |

Ibime: Captain obvious sir Barca will hammer City? When have they not hammered City? Its like saying Bayern will Hammer Arsenal How many teams in the whole of Europe will Barca not hammer |
