If City wins the CL does the 5th place team in the PL get to play in the CL?
Benitez won a UEFA Cup with them as interim manager as well. Di Matteo won a Champions League manager as caretaker. Avram Grant almost did the same.Chelsea constantly go from having bad manager's and/or bad campaigns to winning major trophies in short succession.
Mourinho 2nd stint, wins PL.
Mourinho has bad following season.
Conte comes in and wins PL.
Conte has bad 2nd season.
Lampard has terrible half-season; Tuchel comes in and gets CL Final.
Just feck off with your scabby turnarounds.
Which team didn't exist 20 years ago?A Champions League final between two teams that were irrelevant/ didn’t exist less than two decades ago.
I was terrified.You guys seemed nervous, hardly posted at all during the game
God knows how much weight I lost sweating at that shit finishing lmfao

He and Kovacic were able to get forward in tandem but he was still a box to box midfielder. I quoted you because you said he was an attacking midfielder which is false information.Nah he was way further up the pitch under Frank and had the worst 18 months in his career. He’s dropped back under Tuchel and must be making 20 tackles/interceptions per game again.
Failed to beat PSG. We should never have been in Europa.What did Martial do?
Yeah was a high pressing 8, but it was always stupid to use him in that setup. Playing him in a 2 alongside a sitting midfielder with passing range has always been the best way to get the most out of him - France even had to push Matuidi out to LW to get the best out of Kante.But he was still a box to box midfielder, right?
People talk about us building and progressing. Step by fecking step; and I understand that and it's very likely true, but when you watch Chelsea going from zero to hero constantly in a decade it's enough to make you throw your toys out the window!Benitez won a UEFA Cup with them as interim manager as well. Di Matteo won a Champions League manager as caretaker. Avram Grant almost did the same.
As you say, jammy cnuts.
That's what happens when you have little depth and everybody is injured all the time. You get to the end of the season and your players are deadYou’ve looked awful tonight, I haven’t seen you much outside of that lately.
So leggy and slow. Like all the tops guys hit fathertime at the same time.

If history is any indicator, Tuchel will win the CL and get sacked next year. F this club, they suck but keep on winning important trophies.Benitez won a UEFA Cup with them as interim manager as well. Di Matteo won a Champions League manager as caretaker. Avram Grant almost did the same.

They were never as bad as Lampard was making them and it was always going to take time for them to gel those new players together, but I know what you’re saying.Grim but a prime example that changing managers doesn't always mean years of rebuilding again. Once it's the right change.
Fair enough!Yeah was a high pressing 8, but it was always stupid to use him in that setup. Playing him in a 2 alongside a sitting midfielder with passing range has always been the best way to get the most out of him - France even had to push Matuidi out to LW to get the best out of Kante.
Just want to clarify that I agree with your broader point - that the difference in performance is less down to Kante's role specifically and more down to the team's setup around him.

It took Klopp four years to win something, they would have gotten rid of himChelsea classic example of why give the managers time is such a bad excuse . If you can see that it's not working then there's always the next best thing available
As long as it ends in the ultimate heartbreak for either of the sides whether that by somebody slipping on their arse taking a pen or some keeper throwing the ball in to their own for a change, I'll certainly be watching.The final is going to be one horrible watch
Scary that Chelsea would be one CL win behind us, given the history of both clubs.We'll just have to be happy laughing at whichever set of plastic cnuts loses it. As you say, grim.
I think that's harsh on Chelsea to be honest. They were a decent sub top side in England and actually made the CL quarter finals back in 2000.A Champions League final between two teams that were irrelevant/ didn’t exist less than two decades ago.
Seeing how Madrid played, glad it's you against the bald cnut. City would have wiped the floor with this Madrid side. At least you guys have a chance.Loving these salty tears in this thread
I love this gameeeeeee
Yeah. You look at the players Chelsea were able to bring on tonight in comparison, they are both fit and in contention for starting spots, whereas you had unfit players starting the match.That's what happens when you have little depth and everybody is injured all the time. You get to the end of the season and your players are dead
Zidane had to take off Benzema and Kroos with 20 minutes to go in a tight Clasico a month ago. That says it all
TY very much! We got quite lucky with all your injuries but I'll take it!Congrats to @duffer now go win the damn thing
That's a lie. I refuse to believe Hazard did any running that game! He must have been running in circles because he did feck all!
Well at least he tried
Cheers mate, absolutely buzzing at the moment!Fair enough!
Anyway, congratulations for tonight. Impressive performance.
Thank you. I remember some kind of a talk like that a few seasons back. But it didn't happen. I think this Chelsea will get into the top 4 for sure. You never know they might even win the darn thing.No.
But if Chelsea win it and don't get into top 4, there will be 5 English sides in next season's CL.
