Can Chelsea park their way to glory next season?
by juanamo Fri May 25, 2012 10:12 am
can they do it again?
also no other team has won the CL back-to-back, with talented teams like Ronaldinho Barcelona, Maldini Milan, and Messi-Xaviesta Barca also failing, so can Chelsea, in my opinion the weakest team to ever win the UEFA Champions League, make history by becoming first club to Defend (no pun intended) their trophy?

No? Even Chelsea fans have to admit they were riding their luck with the finishing that Bayern and Barca were pulling off.

nah, next year won't be about CL.
it should be about top 4, Club world Cup, youth and getting to the knockout stages of CL.

3 defensive displays define a
It's not luck barca and Bayern couldn't finish is it. The is a reason that they both flopped in their leagues where they only had 1 credible competitor each. So not being a clear cut finisher is luck? What a joke. So being clinical is now lucky. Sp were Dortmund lucky to beat Bayern 5-2? Or we're Barcelona lucky to get pretty much all their shots in goal into goals in the 5-0 game against Madrid down to luck? throng logic
So being clinical is not lucky, but not being clinical is unlucky...sthrong logic in gl as usual

Btw, we're going to do some rebuilding in the summer so we're probably going to have a better team for next year's competition. We only parked the bus because we had to play with the likes of Bosingwa and Kalou against Robben/Ribbery/Sanchez/Iniesta/etc

No Drogba, no party.
If they rejuvenate the team, however, Chelsea has as much of a shot as any other top team. Wouldn't exactly call them a favourite though.

After the countless 'WTF' moments I've watched in football last season, it won't surprise me if they did. Nothing in football will ever surprise me again.
We have a guy who we scouted from the homeless shelter coming back to us... :lol!:

I don't see them repeating until they shore up their front line with the loss of Drogba. Although, when you have Cech behind the pipes you always have a chance at hanging in long enough to pull out any victory. I think they will make it to the round of 8 again, but that's about as fas as I think they would go without knowing what their team will look life after the summer transfers.

I feel bad for the fans who go to away games. Spend 90 minutes trying to get through parked cars and buses to get into the stadium, only to endure another 90 minutes of parked cars and buses INSIDE the stadium
And then there's the ride home.....

Well, if a team can win it, then it is chelsea,milan and united. The other clubs are to weak minded and concerned about entertainment rather than winning.

They got lucky, however they showed they really wanted to win it.

YEah desire is actually the single most important factor in the CL, amongst the top clubs of course.
When you want it that bad, the football gods will shower you with luck.

Eventually Arsenal will park the bus to win a trophy.
-edit-
Wenger is too cheap. Can't afford a bus.

They tried it already against Barca. It almost worked lol.
At least in their home leg against barca, they attacked them. They gave them fight.
Milan and Chelsea this year against Barca
didn't even try to attack in their home legs.

I read, cant recall where, but someone made the observation that English teams do far better than they play defensively.
When you think about, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and even Arsenal have gone defensively..they have done better than when they dont.

So bloody what? We won in the end. And we didn't win illegally or by cheating too. That's all that matters. Period._LMG_10_ wrote:They tried it already against Barca. It almost worked lol.
