AirborneLacer:


I made a valid assertion that PSG never threatened much on the nite, and that we could have won if we weren't complacent..

You countered, by pointing out the three chances they created as the threats they posed. To which I asked, do you consider three clear cut chances created within 120mins of play to be threatening much?

Dayo at this point, I expected you to launch a way logical rebuttal, not to remind me of what I already know, which is PSG's limited chances was down to the fact that they were a man down.

The fact still remains, PSG never threatened much. And yes, numerical disadvantage must have contributed to that.

So you're obviously saying same thing with me.

His profligacy isn't my business. He's a striker, it's his job to score.

We were denied an obvious penalty, should I be making a case for it.

Hehehe

Oga I presume you've been on the pitch before. Do you know how difficult it is to play against 10 disciplined men who are set up to stay compact?

A team that has a man down understands the task that lies before them. Their concentration level heightens and they play more like a unit.

This is PSG we're talking about. Don't go all this dribble this dribble that like it some Sophomore team we're talking about here.

Then again, this isn't some college players we're talking about.
These are professionals who knows how to see off a game with a card.

Moreover, Blanc's men when off the ball were always behind the ball and only pressed when the ball was on their own half. The chances of a second yellow were limited.

Mourinho gets my blame, just like the players deserve the blame too.

But then, Pep should also be branded a disgrace for not beating a 10-man Chelsea side in 2012, despite his team enjoying a large chunk of the possession

dyabman:


Give me a direct answer to this question , is mourinho a winner or a loser ? A) Yes B) No .

Bimffo:


So How did PSG dominated

homesteady:


he is surely a winner! one of the most successful coaches in this present era!
but that's not the bone of contention here!

Bimffo:
Chelsea were just careless.. PSG dint play anything extra-Ordinary..

dyabman:


So phocck whatever you saying or analyzing on how he wins a game or sets up a team.. For damn sake he's no Harry rednapp or Martin jol , he said it all that mentally psg were more prepared than Chelsea if they are to play with 5 man down though game will be over but will still play with their hearts that's just the difference on that night bro

Ibime:


PSG did not dominate possession with 10 men.

They dominated possession with 11 men by 65% to 35% or so.

The final result of 51 - 49 is because we clawed back the possession stats when they went down to 10 men.

JigsawKillah:


Not just a large chunk of the possession, they were also 2 goals up.

Homesteady and Coded1 I want you both to tell me how we scored 2 goals if all we did was seat back

P.S Our Leader too was sent off

coded01:



But Drogba remained...


And what's up with packing the bus...

Tval:
So many people here who take same diet as Carrahger

JigsawKillah:


But Cavani remained

raumdeuter:


I dont know the break down but the game was 11 vs 11 for 30mins Thats like 1/4 of the entire match

So if Chelsea played 3/4 of the match with a man advantage and PSG still shaded it.

JigsawKillah:


you don't have anything to say really

coded01:



PSG says hi...

coded01:
^^^ Southampton ready to continue from where PSG stopped...

raumdeuter:


You were not complacent, Your coach was a coward simple.

raumdeuter: A typical CL game between 2 good teams even on a neutral pitch How many chances would you expect any team to have? 50 chances? but when PSG created more chances than the team with the extra man that is an EPIC fail

raumdeuter: And you were given a soft penalty then you should be making a case for it.

raumdeuter: I am sure statistics would have it that a team playing with a man advantage would win the game over 60% of the time. So spare this balderdash of being hard to play with 10 men.

If its easier with 10 men then why were Chelsea players eager to reduce PSG to 10 men? Why wont every team would find a way to reduce its players to 10 so they can have it easier.

If you have stats that show its difficult to play teams with 10 men then put it up

raumdeuter: RUbbish again. Its well known that a yellow card reduces the ability of a player to get into tackle for fear of copping the second yellow.

Why do coaches remove players on yellow? WHy did Mourinho remove Oscar that was on a yellow? Or is Oscar not professional enough to see out a game?

raumdeuter: When players miss chances or cant finish despite domination then the players can be blamed, when you get dominated by a team with lesser men then the coach deserves the blame

raumdeuter: Pep's team dominated Chelsea as a team with a man advantage should iit was dogged defending, exceptional goalkeeping and Messi missing a penalty that contributed to that loss

But Mourinho couldnt even get his men to dominate a team that has 10 players, Sirigu didnt even have to make great saves nor the defenders have to make last ditch tackles. PSG was barely threatened all night.

AirborneLacer:
What made him a coward?

If you were Mou, what would you have done to secure a win?

Oga you're digressing.
Would you consider three chances created within 120mins of play as threatening much?

Dayo are you high on pepsi?
Where in my post did I assert that it's easier to play with 10men? And what's with all these fixation with stats?.

Oga apply better logic abeg.
Every manager has a reason for every call he makes.
I'm yet to read a rule that states, ''Once a player is booked, he surely has to be substituted''.

Yesterday, I analysed to you how Blanc's 4-3-3 works. Hazard wasn't just Verrati's meal to consume. It was a combo of Veratti and Marquinhos against Hazard.

So how Hazard go carry dribble go commit Veratti who had a side-kick in Marquinhos?

When the team with a man down have at their disposal players who are technically better than their opposition, would you still blame the manager for not dominating the game?

And this exempts the players from getting blamed too?

debosky:
Why all the noise sef? It was clear JM was worried about the game even before it with all his comments about PSG being 'aggressive' and all that.

It worked for him in getting Ibra sent off, but unfortunately the 'world class' defenders called Cahill and Terry couldn't organise a simple defence to guard against headed goals even when facing 10 men.

That's the long and short of the story. Move on.

Very much alive. Just been busy providing blood plasma to ebola survivors worldwide.
