Don't include me in that. I just don't think Bayern deserved to win after wasting so many golden chances to kill Chelsea off.
I'm talking in general Preezy, like the way the away leg against Barcelona was reported for instance. What do you think of it?
Well, considering the players they had missing, they were bound to play defensively. They didn't lose so they are probably justified in their tactics. Same with the 2nd Barca game, losing Terry early on meant they were always going to try and hit Barca on the break if they got a chance to.
That's not what I was asking though. I appreciate a team in that situation is more likely to attempt a defensive style which is not a problem for me, the onus is on the other team to break them down. My question was about whether you thought Chelseas plan worked, so what do you think?
Sorry to butt in, but of course their plan worked. Their game plan was obvious and they won
