Hopefully we can use these six days and the Brighton game to muster up something as original and creative as "United United United"

He could have waited for a little longer to have better options instead of joining that mess of a football club.
That was soul destroying. I kind of wished they'd just got 4 goals so I could be over and done with this season.
tactical masterclass from frank.
Should they fail to score against Brighton that'd be a month* with no goals by the time the second leg rolls around. I suppose can point to previous CL home tie though (2-0 vs Dortmund).
*albeit including international break
Which team is most likely to shithouse a win against City? Napoli, Inter or Milan? I know Napoli have been really good this season but I don't trust them on the big stage.
Think Napoli will still go through?
Hopefully. Milan make me sick
But I don't think either of them stand a chance against City. It will be either Madrid or nobody
Madrid were very poor. Modric miles below his best. Benzema too. I’ve a horrible feeling they might regret not scoring more. It’s not as though they haven’t had a bunch of shitty performances already this season. Their CL run has to come to an end eventually.
Hopefully, your team will need it badlyHopefully we can use these six days and the Brighton game to muster up something as original and creative as "United United United"
Those 4 CL games have been very low quality.
Napoli are actually good.
So that's the story. You speak about a 1-0 kind of performance against 11 men but ignore that Chelsea sacrificed one player not to concede the 2-0 or that games last 90 minutes. It's a very strange analysis.
Inter.
They're going to get thumped by City in the semis. A proper cricket score is on the cards.
Left winger but I wanted Pulisic and Mudryk to come on. They would at least attempt to run at their defence.
I think they'll get beat by a top side this year also - but not Chelsea.
Just can't see them not scoring and Chelsea aren't getting three.
Potentially. Might not have scored obviously...
Face it you were below par against 10 or 11 men tonight. They are still in the tie.
You know, these debates imply teams getting there through invitation. Nope… Juventus were playing CL finals in the mid 10s, then couldn’t get past QFs, then R16… now they can’t even get out of the group stage. It’s a slope, and ball never lies. That said, on the day anything can happen, but two legs against any team at different level are a very different task already.
Osimhen will be a problem for any defence, I just hope he's back fit soon.
Scoring? What’s that?
Like last year
Hopefully you’re right. And, admittedly, whatever nerves I have about Chelsea turning this around evaporate when I remember who’s their manager.
I think you were in cruise mode. Never really needed to get out of 2nd gear. Didn’t have to work too hard to get your goals. Felt like a training exercise. You’re right, we posed very very little threat to you.
Unless City choke again against RM I can’t see how they don’t win it this year. Miles better than everyone remaining.
I think City would win this CL very comfortably
10 years isn't a bad run at all and I'd bet my house, car, motorbike and I'll even throw in the Mrs for free that Chelsea aren't going on to the next round. Must admit. I would miss my car if they did.
This city team right now is the best club team I've seen in years.
But then, this is champions league, if you get an early goal at SB, things could get interesting still.
I’m clinging to the fact that’s basically been true for each of the last several years.
It will. In the final.
This has been said every year.
Not a disaster, but it's simply not good enough.
impressed with enzo again . If we score first and early ish at home we'll beat them i reckon . problem is we cannot score right now
And not even top of their own league.
Cucurella
Mudryk
Enzo Fernandez
Badiashile
Aubameyang
Sterling
Koulibaly
Wesley Fofana
0 goals for £600 millions

You surely can't think Chelsea are capable of turning this around?
They're awful with a proper shite manager.
So, like last year
It was better than the other three but I don't think either team was class really in that first hour. 35 minutes of complete collapse from one team brings down its overall quality by a lot too.
That’s true. Let’s hope we can do that.
