Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich (Pre-season) tue 25th of July 12:35

[DonAntonio]

@OhForAGreavsie you still sure about sanches being crap and unimpressive and we shouldn't buy him as a backup? 

[ashwin]

Nothing embarassing here... Bayern are clearly significantly more fit than us. I would guess that they are much more advanced in their preseason than us.

Enjoy the game, enjoy the loss :)

[Deino]

lol Our wingbacks, Gary and Tibo are very poor. They need to focus

[jamie#8]

Pre season fair enough.

 

I have always maintaind that conceding a man in midfield to the better teams is suicide. We drop into a back 5 (up against 2/3 players) and good teams have players pulling off our two CMs to control the game. We are always half a yard behind because we dont know who to pick up.

Would it be ok to panic when we're 7 or 8 nil down or should I wait until its double figures? Just askin....

Preseason or not, 3-0 down from soft goals after 26 mins is poor.

agree, but it's an overreaction. fitness levels are legit and for good reason. bayern got beat by ac milan 4-0, it means absolutely nothing. as much as we looked good against arsenal, this was our first "test" of pre-season against a much better team than arsenal. this just allows conte to make change to tactics and switch up formation if needs be. 

[Spiller86]

Not looking great, but the game means nothing. This is 2015esque. Very open defending.

Shame for Christensen to have to be at the heart of an exposed defence.

[Deino]

343 is good against PL sides but we need better midfield control against Europeans. A decent team playing 433 will kill us.

[doctorblue]

You can hook Courtois for starters...he's stinking the place out...

[evissy]

Bayern got beat 4-0 we won 3-0. They have been better. Courtois have forgot how to save. 3-0

[Deino]

Gary reminds me of Ivanovic right now. He keeps backing off

[BlueSky]

I want to see a Cahill out and david luiz in... Cahill is so.. on and off...

[the special one]

No control in midfield whatsoever, it's a bit of a joke tbh. 

[Zola]

ohh dear

Imagine Messi and Neymar against us right now.  It would be like full grown men playing against under 12's.

[evissy]

Renato Sanchez is pretty good.

[doctorblue]

Get Luiz on get Cahill out of the country and bring Christensen to the left...

[Deino]

Gary needs to come off for a midfielder. He's either doing nothing or making fouls

[TomCFC85]

Maybe Alonso's performance will motivate the Sandro deal 

[frendz]

the positive i have seen till now is christensen.

cesc has been the complete opposite of what we was against arsenal.

[BlueSky]

For what I have seen, Chrstensen is so ready to take cahill out lol..

[doctorblue]

Wow there's no way I have the talent to kick a ball straight into a wall...

[DannyLB]

Fabregas is off pace.

[TomCFC85]

Seems like we're starting to get a rhythm going now.

He can't get into rhythm because Bayern keeps congesting the area and his passing lanes.
