Chelsea 1 vs 1 Barcelona(Willian, Messi)

[maceo4]

The only team that can match Barca for possession is Tottenham. I hate to say it

City? No?

Messi nearly destroyed Rudiger's hips there. Wow.

Chelsea have held well so far

If you mean by held well you mean have not conceded yet, then yes I agree.

They've played well so far until that christiansen error just now.

They've stifled barca and have attacked (first ten minutes anyway).

Stifled?? Abeg carry go your alternative facts.
Barca is dominating possession 80-20.

And Barca have had all the real chances. Its a matter of time now.

You do know what stifled means right? If not, please 'googol' am.

Dominating possession means nothing if you don't create chances. Possession doesn't tell a full story so calm down.
Barca have had real chances? A header for Paulinho? What else?
*mind you, i think chelsea are playing a dangerous game defending this deep (they were not doing that earlier when i made the comment)

Nna bros, dont stifle me with ya grammar school. I am here to watch soccer.

Barca has already had a point blank header though...

The Paulinho one? Rudiger had a similar chance no?

Chelsea cannot sit this deep though. The way they started the match i.e. first 10 minutes, was fine. This deep will see them get beat. They cannot hold concentration all game. This is not Mourinho's sides from back in the day.

No come on, Rudigers was from a CK with multiple players defending and pushing him, Paulinho's was a completely free header after Messi's cross beat everybody...either way its 0-0 but they have had more of the run of play.

The Rudiger chance was a good chance. He totally muffed the header, that's a clear chance from a CK, he just failed to put t on target.

It's 0-0 and I'm not worried about possession stats, I'm watching what Chelsea is doing within the framework they've set i.e. defending deep and hitting on the counter. That's what to watch not the possession box.

Has Moses lost all his attacking flair? He doesn't look like he can beat his man one on one anymore! Geez!!

[metalalloy]

Nice run by Wilian.

[maceo4]

You are not well at all. Your comment better not be based off that overhit pass that he managed to salvage under pressure and lay off for Wilian

[tfco]

Nice run by Wilian.

that surely increased the Chelsea possession stat...from 18% to

18%

okay no vex. Chelsea has done what they set out to do. It may not be to your liking but it won them a UCL and has served them well under many managers. Lets see whether they can execute the rest of this game.

thank God that Messi will not be playing against the EAGUS with these bunch of players during the world cup

So Big Ollie ain’t starting for Chelshyt? Thought he moved to Chelsea to start and finish Big games ok I guess the United game is a bigger one

[marutimon]

Vic Mo's defensive play has been superb. Outsmarted Alba and Rakitic already a few imes.

[Nkume]

So Barca haven't scored yet?
