Hoddle has been referencing basketball a lot tonight.
Champions League Round of 16 (13th Feb - 14th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
You don't know that when Conte does it, it's not called bus parking?
It was probably @Pink Moon. But if I bothered to have an opinion, I would have thought the same as simply not many clubs can afford to play any different against Barca.
I want to hear Hoddle talk about Messi more.
Their complete and utter reliance on him is almost comical.
Too much product gross or simply greasy?
Get Paulinho off ffs.
Put Dembele on, or put Semedo on and push Roberto further up the field

Umtiti is fantastic.
Pathetic display from chelsea. On away game i don't mind parking the bus but at home? We will destroy these feckers on sunday
Right, all of you who are bored with Chelsea, I'm looking for a name for our new cat (male).
Conte hates strikers.
They can try to press them a little bit.
What Chelsea doing are just surrendering any possibility of win.
I'm not a fan of Hazard playing as a striker. Chelsea are not getting the best of him there tonight I think Conte should've went with Morata or Giroud up front.
Brilliant save from the Besiktas goalie!
Best CB in the world
All the makings of a smash and grab Chelsea win this 
Call him Alvaro and never play with him.
I mean, I obviously could have predicted the low block but I imagined he would deploy some pressing from the half way line to force some mistakes from Barca, and certainly thought he would play a target man to give those players something to aim for.
That was good by Willian
I think all english CL-clubs would beat Bayern.
I like willian
Conte's tactics:
Park the bus. Let Barca have the ball.
Make sure they get bored and lose concentration. Try to smash and grab.

Semedo is suspended.
Good foul by Rakitic.
Playing with false nine... Conte should be sentenced to jail for that decision
The level of technical ability and understanding required to never wanna clear it upfield is fascinating tbh.
Thelonious.
It'l be two parked buses with Sanchez v Hazard in between
Him and Bailly would be a great pairing
Possibly. Looks poor so far. But I wouldn’t discount a smash and grab.
Pic/fur colour/markings?
Kinda jealous at how comfy the barca defenders are on the ball and passing under pressure
Messi and Suarez are not on the same wave length tonight.
Paul Pawgba
Quaresma defending, my gosh!
What a strike Willian!
Beautiful hit that. Deserves a goal.
Chelsea have had the better chances.
