PSG are not very good at all...Mourinho will be p!ssed off if Chels dont go thru imo
Not impressed with Chelscum today
But you just know that they will somehow get a spawny 2nd
Great result for Chelsea last night.
And I can't say I'm sorry to see them in the Semi-Finals.
I will always hope English clubs do well in Europe (with just one notable exception!) as ultimately it also helps Tottenham Hotspur.
Yeah like it did when they won it that time...I will always hope English clubs do well in Europe (with just one notable exception!) as ultimately it also helps Tottenham Hotspur.
This is Bayern Munich's line-up tonight:
----------------Neuer--------------
--Lahm----Dante----Boateng---Alaba
-----------------Kroos---------------
Robben----Gotze-------Muller----Ribery
---------------Mandzukic--------------
Liam Brady on RTE pointing out that there's no DM. (I'm not sure if I've set that formation out properly, but Brady's point stands).
I think the obsession with DM's has become fetishistic in recent years in all honesty. Assuming that Kroos plays as a kinda deep-lying playmaker tonight, it's not as though he has zero DM/defensive capability. He's a top class footballer who can easily stand there and do some blocking, tackling and harassing in front of his back 4. Sure, not like Makelele or Sandro, but he's not a cone either.
There seems to be this notion these days that if you don't have a dedicated DM you are wide open like the Grand Canyon. I don't think that has to be. Against Sunderland we showed that in some circumstances having the likes of Chadli and Bentaleb in there is sufficient, assuming your defence is competent.
