As soon as the match finished Tyldesley was midwank with "yet another tactical masterclass from the Master"

Fuck off. Everyone else saw it for what it was. A weaker side playing for the draw and getting lucky that the opposition didn't take one of their numerous chances.

This was always going to Maureens MO whether players were injured or not.

Terry and Lampard struggle to play 2 games in 3 days, Hazard was not going to be risked and will get game time Versus liverpool to ready him for Athletico next week.

CHELSEA SQUAD
1 Petr Cech OUT
2 Branislav Ivanovic - was banned last night and can fill in at Centre Back easily, need his arm ready for Suarez
3 Ashley Cole
4 David Luiz
7 Ramires
8 Frank Lampard
9 Fernando Torres
11 Oscar
12 John Mikel Obi
14 Andre Schurrle
15 Mohamed Salah
16 Marco van Ginkel
17 Eden Hazard Fit and will be available for selection for Liverpool
19 Demba Ba
21 Nemanja Matic
22 Willian
23 Mark Schwarzer
24 Gary Cahill
26 John Terry Out
27 Nathan Ake
28 Cesar Azpilicueta
29 Samuel Eto'o Out
33 Tomas Kalas
46 Jamal Blackman
40 Henrique Hilario

I expect a good line up, even if he rests some players

[center]Schwarzer

ivanovic Cahill Luiz Azpilicueta

Matic Lampard

Salah Oscar Schurrle

Ba[/center]

Regardless of what team he puts out I expect them to run Liverpool very close. He hates Liverpool and I doubt his ego would allow for him to be standing on the touch line getting thumped and handing Liverpool the league.

A good defensive team normally beats a good attacking team as we saw only to well earlier this year. I suspect it will be a draw.

I wonder if Pep knows what he's doing by not putting Lahm at RB vs Ronaldo

Bayern having most of the play but Real could've doubled their lead with another quick incisive break. Shame on you Tranny.

Is Pep really that good? Yes they won the Bundesliga but that league isn't good (Dortmund had an awful run of injuries)and Pep inerited a great squad already. And now look, Barcelona look average. The possession game doesn't work as well anymore it seems

maybe, but they've looked quite dangerous tonight. their weaknesses in defence (who doesn't have this issue today it seems?) and madrid's ability to hit on the counter with all of their pace and skill on the wings/up front is the risk. if this was in munich the scoreline might be different.

we also saw pepe also ruin one of their most dangerous looking attacks via a faux injury that he could have...sorry, should have been carded for if you ask me. bayern then kindly stopped playing, even though they seemed to know it was bollocks, and then madrid not so kindly kicked the ball down the pitch to neuer after the stoppage.

Sounds like Coentrao ran a little but too wild on left. Lahm in midfield backfired?

How do you work that out ?

Bayern and Lahm got stronger as the game went on and should be going home with a goal. Götze should have scored.

I didn't watch the match. That was a question.

But if you're referring to when Gotze came on, that was after Lahm was moved to right back when Javi Martinez came on in the middle

So you didn't see the game ? Then you wouldn't know that even towards the end Lahm spent most if his time pushing forward trying to create the equaliser. Spending most of his time in an attacking role.

You are correct.

Lahm was playing centrally & Bayern got taken to the cleaners down the left. They should be out of it now but tragically bad finishing has left them probably favourites. And when Lahm did move to his normal position, Bayern looked like scoring.

Boateng & Dante are such a weak link though, that it's not impossible they could ship ten on the break.

We were very unlucky to face the Bayern team we did at our place. They can always keep possession in any game, but they have never passed the ball with such speed & confidence & run off the ball as they did v City; we really did catch them at their best that day.

Well regardless of results, comment etc, that was a great game of football for the neutral and I have to say (May get slatted) but Webb did a great job of reffing and let the game flow, unlike the c@nt reffing us vs Barca

Sorry mate but it looks like you can't read. You appear to be trying to have a go at me for something but all you're doing is emphasizing my point.

I did know that Lahm spent his time pushing forward at the end. But guess what, he was back at RB at that point, not in central midfield where he started the match.

So, like Ted said, looks like Lahm starting in midfield backfired on Pep...which os the question I asked. Thanks Ted for answering it.

Nope not having a go at you at all. Why on earth do you think that ?

Considering the possession and dominance Bayern had last night , the chances they had, they were unfortunate to go home without the draw.
