How Rubbish Were Chelsea

[joggerjayne]

I didn't see the game, so tell me if any of this is wrong.

1. Chelsea spent most of the game at their own end, terrified of Bayern, scared to get out and play football, and hoping for a breakaway goal (same as they played against Barcelona).

2. They only came out and played when they went behind, and were forced to go for a desperate equaliser.

3. Consequently ... normal time ended in a draw.

4. If Chelsea play the same chicken defensive football in the Prem, they will end up with an awful lot of these draws.

5. That will leave them mid table.

6. This is why Chelsea have had their lowest ever place in the Prem.

7. So they can scrape trophies by parking the entire team on their own goal line. But in the Prem next season, they will be mediocre again, as they were this season.

8. Chelsea have now abandoned all formations in favour of a 9,1 formation (nine defenders, and one goal hanger hoping for a break away).

Good analysis?

I thank you.

This comes after a weekend when, in the SuperLeague Final, Northern Thunder and Surrey Storm were attacking each other like wild fire for the entire game. No fraidy cat defensive tactics there!

I take your point about solid defending, FP

^The 'one-nil draw' ^ is an old concept, invented by Arsenal's manager in the 30's. Nowadays, it's fashionable to call it a one-nil win.

I heard that Chelsea were considering putting up a statue to Drogba, but decided against it as it might keep falling down :-)
