sassaaaa 11,406 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You could.. You know.. Debate it, rather than attempt to patronise it..Barcas defence is pretty poor and they won't be able to handle big bad Drogba , Terry and Cahill !!!

nelsonRFC82 305 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Admin should ban the use of the word fanboy!I think Barca have looked a lot weaker this year, often they set up more akin to 343 than 433, although I know their set up has never been as part of a rigid system anyway. Their attacking talent far outweighs their defensive and Pep has been trying to fit Iniesta & Fabregas in to the lineup, which I can understand, but do think has seen them look a lot more vulnerable.Chelsea do have big game players, and Drogba, if on form, troubles any defence. Not sure if 1st leg at the bridge suits Chelsea and anyway think Barca have too much for them. Think will be a scoring draw this week with Barca finishing the job at home.In terms of the original question, how to beat them. Is easier in theory than practice as requires workrate, shape and discipline to pack the defence & midfield while also trying to put pressure on the Barca backline when they have the ball to frustrate Barca as they try to build moves and in trying to drag them wide etc when Chelsea attack...which also must be done at pace.

Devlin 222 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Barcas defence is pretty poor and they won't be able to handle big bad Drogba , Terry and Cahill !!!Some very very talented footballers you're dismissing here. You're such a Barca bum boy it's crazy.At the end of the day Barca will play 11 men and Chelsea will play 11 men, not fucking superheroes that cannot be defeated ffs.It's not unthinkable that Chelsea could go through, they were pretty fucking close that other time if it wasn't for pish poor referees... mongolikecandy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz 306 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The interesting thing about Di Matteo (stolen from Zonal Marking) is that he now has Chelsea defending with two banks of four, like they traditionally did with Mourinho. The fact is Messi is totally ineffective when playing against a double pivot in the midfield, because he has to come far too deep to get the ball to be able to do anything with it.It's going to be a very interesting game, and I wouldn't like to call it either way.

The Godfather 71,871 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well Sasaaa has done his level best to ruin this thread I see with the usual “barca are unbeatable end of…don’t dare try to debate it’ stance. You wonder why people like this log onto a football forum in the first place when they start frothing at the mouth when others try to have a sensible debate. Yes Barca are the stronger team but as has been seen this season, they are very much beatable and shaky at the back…they don’t face strikers like Drogba often do they…a player who has cause that same defense many problems over his time at Chelsea.

PaddockLoyal 105 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Chelsea just don't look like they have it in them I'm afraid.They have little choice but to go for an Inter Milan style shut-out and hope Barca have an off night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
