Tie over after that Ivanovic goal.

Chelsea aren't going to lose to anyone who isn't Real or Bayern IMO.

Bayern look prime for a counter attack from a team that defends well with quick players further up, have a bad feeling that Chelsea are real contenders this season.

Idk what it is about Chelsea but you'd think for a team with so much talent that they would be a little bit more fluid football. They've had 2 shots in this game. Same against Liverpool.

For a team that sits back and defends they don't seem to counter attack that well at all. Against Bayern I feel like they would just sit back and probably get picked apart.

I'm rarely been impressed with the style of football Chelsea and Jose play to be honest. Obviously playing alright and getting great results and dominating, but I think it's a shit style

Strange one with Chelsea, I don't think Mourinho will ever commit to a totally fluid style of football, its just not his way. Bayern still look really vulnerable at the back, although it relies on the opposition actually having the ball :rolleyes:

Thought his Madrid team played good football.

At Chelsea I think part of it is that the entire back 4 lacks ball playing skills imo. All 4 are good defensively but not players that really contribute to good build up play.

He wouldn't have been allowed to play unadventurous football at Madrid, and didn't win much either, although granted it did coincide with a phenomenal Barca team.

I hate that such a negative team is going to win the PL. Pisses me off. God, I hope City go on a tear.

Good God Chelsea are boring. It would be a crime against football if they won the league and CL.

There is negative away performances and then this, its his Inter Milan team all over again, sadly he mopped up with them.
