I'm not sure it is to be honest
Are Chelsea really good, or are Atleti really bad?
What a daft question
Rüdiger just hoofs the ball no matter what, even in the opponent's box. Fair play.
Well no shit.
I just think team for team the past two or so years is the worst the CL has been for a while
Biggest factor in that is because major fall off in la liga teams. When Barca, Real and Athletico are worse than most of the top 6 Prem teams that's not good for the competition.
Juve too aren't at their best. Leaves very few teams that are truly competing to win it.
I wouldn't rely on us to do that. We've gone full glass cannon this season and things may get embarrassing for one side pretty much every match, but no one can tell in advance which side will be at the receiving end.
You'd most likely lose. All though not that good right now Chelsea can somewhat play positional/possession football and control a game, your team cannot right now.
La Liga leaders Altetico getting spanked by Chelsea. Are we back to being the best league in the world? 
Great half from kante. Been back to his best as of late.
Pavard is boring and a bit weak. I want to see Sülinho doing his magic in every game from now on.
We can't even beat Sevilla who is like a poor man's Altetico.
Stop talking utter garbage.
Top 6 teams are better than Barca, Real and Atletico.
You should ask someone to read your posts before pressing send.
Bit of both, Madrid look so slow
Sevilla of last season who we battered and if not for poor finishing would have beaten by 4 or 5?
Good question. In both cases it's a matter of who takes the lead first, but chelsea are a worse matchup for atletico madrid because of their press and ability to keep the ball
The mountain that dribbles
Did you batter Sevilla ?
It's really quite impressive what a short term impact Tuchel has had at Chelsea.
So beautiful. Has the potential to make up for the loss of seeing Thiago tackle
Did you batter Sevilla ?
Yes.
It's not really. Our players just stand still.
Not as good as Ole's
Thought he was absolutely brilliant v Liverpool at Anfield a couple of weeks back and the best player on the pitch. Mount was good too, mind, but Kante would have been my MOTM for sure.
I love the change in tactics already from Tuchel. Going from Lampard’s ultra cautious style to this constant pressing and countering. Tuchel will need more players to fully get the team where he wants them to be however the improvement is ridiculous so far.
I know we did, Giroud bagged 4Did you batter Sevilla ?
Does it matter? We still lost and poor finishing is still a major flaw in our team this season.
Chelsea are playing with 5 defenders with two center mids screening the 3 CBs at all times. They have issues scoring goals and creating in open play under Tuchel.
How that foul by Azpi is not given is beyond me. It’s also a red card as there is no attempt to play the ball.
it does matter when you're suggesting we were inferior to them yes
So you wouldn't have gone down? You wouldn't have wanted a penalty? That happens to your team and your not bothered it doesn't go to VAR? When you've seen some of the decisions this year? Why would he put his arm out? 0 attempt to play the ball, any contact is a foul, doesn't need to be a WWE clothesline.

Nonsense. Barca and Real are literally the worst they've been in a long long time. Juve too. Drop offs happen and right now thats the period we are in.
CL is lower on top quality teams than it usually is.
Not if you're in the mood for a bit of a moan, no.
Ole's short term impact was indeed massive. The team was noticeable relieved, unleashed, they played like released from a prison. Martial, Pogba, like newborn, it was beautiful to see.
Hes brilliant. And he seems a lot better with the ball at his feet driving us forward.
United players made simliar runs in the 1st leg against Sociedad.
Too late I’ve put my hopes on you lot to stop all of City/pool/P$G.
Interesting to hear you fears for Bayern though! What’s caused the slight regression?
Probably because they didnt think there was enough contact for him to go down.
Loss of intensity and controlToo late I’ve put my hopes on you lot to stop all of City/pool/P$G.

West Ham would spank Madrid, have you seen Soucek, Rice and Lingard?Stop talking utter garbage.

I'm not liking the look of the quality in the CL this year.
Could definitely see Liverpool managing to get to the final. They are due a hard draw though so hopefully they get one.
