Please, when is Chelsea and Barca playing their second leg game? I anticipated the game last nite (24/04/12), but surprisingly it was postponed and both team used the pitch for training to while away the time. Pls, can someone confirm when the real match will hold? |

coogar: Like reaching the FA cup final and CL final. Something Sir Alex Fuckinson would have killed to achieve this season considering the fact that he is at risk of going trophyless. |

Ibime: guardiola is not tactically atrocious, i disagree with that. he was just too intransigent in his bid to revolutionize football philosophy. under him, barcelona have played better - they win 95% of their games and he's promoted some exciting youth players. he does not use a plan b cos plan a rarely fails him. that said, i am not saying chelsea should hire him or hire jose mourinho but the comparison is daft. for every ibrahimovic or chygrynsky he bought, there were busquets, pique, pedro, messi, etc they have won countless titles under him as well and the success of a football team is cyclical. 1 Like |

like finishing 6th in the league? Yes FA reward IS far lucrative than premier league. Compare the financial reward. |

coogar: All inherited, not bought. The only successful signing Pep has made in 4 years is Pique. In the same time, Barca have gone from financially solvent to having to take emergency loan last July after failing to pay player wages. . . all because of signings like Ibra, Chygrinsky, Cesc, even David Villa (all unnecessary) coogar: Actually, Guardiola is a regular tinkerman, often making silly changes that destablise the team. The signing of Cesc has been a curse in disguise, making him play all sorts of silly formations to fit Cesc in the team and dropping loads of points on the way. I dont want any Barca manager in Chelsea, simple reason being all the tactical brain-farts they make at Barca is covered by some great players. Make those same brain-farts in any other team and they will flop badly. I argued vociferously against the signing of Frank Rijkaard here in 2008 and Rijkaard has since proved what a rubbish manager he is with extreme failure at Galatasaray and Saudi Arabia since then. |

Ibime: he was the manager of their youth team before he got promoted to the senior. effectively, players like messi, busquets, pedro, thiago, etc developed fully under guardiola's tutelage. give him his credits, will ya? Ibime: often making silly changes? often? come on, bro. it's called football evolution. football shouldn't be stagnant. i admire his tactical awareness and his tenacity to change things to stay ahead of his peers in europe. you cannot fault him on that. his title haul in the last 3 yrs is a testament to his brilliance.
i don't really think cesc had anything to do with it. villa's injury, the form of pedro and most importantly the absence of eric abidal ruined guardiola's season. abidal would have kept ramirez in his pocket last night. he's the sergio busquets of the left back. i have never seen abidal beaten by a right winger. he doesn't have so much pace but his positioning, tackling n interceptions make him an outstanding tool to have at the back.
of course - no barcelona manager can work at chelsea. there are too many mechanical players at the bridge. roman must sell every player bar mata n torres if he wants a spanish manager. spanish managers are obsessed with ball possession. that said, i still admire guardiola's qualities as a manager. i wouldn't mind him taking over alex ferguson. 1 Like |

coogar: Then we should send him to develop our youth team. . . We dont have such players in our youth team, so his ability in the transfer market is what would determine his success at Chelsea. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by coogar: 4:09pm On Apr 25, 2012 |
Ibime: he won 3 league titles, 2 champions league titles for the senior team. of course, he's proven. you cannot tell me he has not revolutionise football tactics. his team dominates and they win 96% of the time. how can you not like pep guardiola and his passing triangles. if they had a fit villa, pedro and abidal, chelsea would have been slaughtered. i blame him for yesterday's loss. there was no point playing 3 at the back after chelsea went a man down. he should have switched to 4-3-3 and pedro should have played to offer genuine width to stretch chelsea's back line. |

coogar:. IF. . . Thats one word i hate hearing in football. . .IF Ok, how about IF Chelsea had a fully fit and in form Essien, Barcelona wouldnt have scored even a single goal. Or IF all Barcelona players were injured, it would have been a walk over for Chelsea. . . How about that? |

You guys jst dont get it do yall? The sending off of Terry signals that Chelsea wud win the CL, be it Bayern or Madrid as opposition in Munchen, Terry is despicable to the CL trophy so as Ballack.Congrats for yesterday, and congrats in Advance. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by coogar: 5:37pm On Apr 25, 2012 |
timbros: chelsea had a fit essien in 2009 when they knocked you guys out. i mentioned 3 barca players who started the final of the champions league last season and you're comparing to essien who is in his twilight of his career. no comparison, abeg. |

Di Matteo for president! Seriously, how easy is it to manage a football team? Ibime is probably a better manager than AVB Overpaid wankers them all |

coogar: He will. United stand a risk of winning nothing this season. Tell me you and your red wankers won't be happy to be playing in both cup finals. You look down on the excellent performance of RDM and yet praise the hopeless AVB. Coogar what are you smoking? |

Just as i wanted it. Chelsea vs Bayern. I wouldn't want to play JM and his Madrid side for anything in this world. Home advantage or not i'm sure we can take on Bayern. May 19th, we can't wait ! |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 11:02pm On Apr 25, 2012 |
^^You spoke ma mind! Bayerns midfield is one of the best. . . but their defence is naive, and I trust my men to exploit some gaps in there! |

Guys what do you think about Ramires!. I see a Chelsea legend in the making. That is what a sense of security and feeling of been wanted can do to a player. |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nateevs(m): 8:48pm On Apr 26, 2012 |
Ibime: Trust me the players in the youth are infinitely technically superior to the first team. Lucas Piazon, Ammine Affane, Islam Feruz, John Swift, Lewis Baker, Jonathan Chalobah, Todd Kane, Nathan Ake, Anjur Osmanovic. Not to mention boys coming up in the U16s like Jeremie Boga. The days are of mechanical young players in Chelsea are effectively over. ------------------------------------------------- On your post about RDM. I quite agree with many things you pointed out. The type of tactical flexibility that you refer to is the deploying Ramires on the left in front of Cole to check the attacking threats of Danny Alves. Then deploying him on the right in the reverse tie. Deploying in the hole and utilizing a 4-2-1-3 when attacking and Mata back to the left for a defensive 4-3-3 against Barcelona. Management wise, Calling up Romeu and Bertrand to slot in for Ashley Cole. Ashley needed that rest ahead of a crucial game. He really has done well. He deserves the job. I say give it to him and all the support he needs. However, it must be stated that Chelsea is in dire need of a change in playing staff. Is RDM the man to oversee that change? It's a very different job from stabilizing the team. I really hope he wins the CL and FA Cup and test the resolve of RA. This will put to bed finally, the endless arguments we've had on here about the real reasons behind RA's manager appointments. Style before results or not. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by debosky(m): 9:46pm On Apr 26, 2012 |
nateevs: If he wins the CL and gets the job that will confirm that RA prefers results above all else. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nateevs(m): 9:52pm On Apr 26, 2012 |
debosky: Agreed. As RDM has not clearly shown his style anywhere. If he doesn't then your argument of over 3 seasons, is shot to pieces in one fell swoop. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by debosky(m): 10:02pm On Apr 26, 2012 |
nateevs: Agreed - the key here is whether he wins the CL or not. . . .if he doesn't and simply reaches the finals, he'll simply be the younger version of Avram Grant and will be swiftly fired or offered the assistant coach job. You still can't predict what RA will do though, he is still a partly whimsical billionaire. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nateevs(m): 10:08pm On Apr 26, 2012 |
debosky: Totally agree. |
