Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

Does that twat Christian really believe that Leeds, Sunderland and many other places in the north will be cheering Chelsea. Should think it unlikely Spurs and West Ham will be up for them, but more significantly does he think we give a shit. Yes Terry I was cheering Chelsea in Moscow so f**k you pal.

Does he realise the whole world hates the fake nasally twat?

If we turn up we win, it’s that simple I’m afraid.

when they players do their jobs properly we are the best team on the planet.

It’s up to the players on the day to prove they have the bottle to do it!

 

[Keeper!]

Play our game and we win .

It's a one off game, a cup final, any one can beat anyone over 90 minutes.

We will have to be at our very best, this game will be a tough, tough game.

Agreed, they will try to strangle the life out of the game and hit us on the break.
It only takes one good ball, one slip, one error, one great strike.
I think we'll have too much for them but i certainly don't think it'll be anything but a very difficult game.

Their sudden dip in form is perfect. A season crumbling around them.
I believe this time in two weeks we will be European champions, and I’ll have the hangover from hell.

So, based on this either

a) The team is set for the final (the one we all expect) and he's just thinking about tactics.
b) The team is not set for the final, and he has two possible teams to think about.

I assume it's the former, but if it's the latter, I wonder what the twist would be?

Pep is clearly considering wing backs. I sincerely hope not-it stifles our play, leaves us vulnerable to runners and balls behind the wingback and makes us narrow.

Think today puts a little bit more pressure on them. They might have played more freely with silverware in the bag

Thats a bad thing then. Chelsea not playing freely will make them harder to beat.

Chelsea will try and turn it into a bore fest and hope to nick it with a pen or a single opportunity. It will not be a classic if we play cagey.

Also makes them more fearful, which may lead to mistakes.

That’s where I’m at. If the occasion doesn’t overwhelm our players, and we put the right side out (and I think we pretty much all agree on the starting eleven) then we will make them suffer.
