Arguments and realism and honesty spring to mind over the last 2-3 weeks. Yes it's ok to play defensively. Yes it's a legitimate tactic to waste time and "park the bus" and teams that play possession football should get used to it and have plan b and be prepared for that. We've done it numerous times WHEN WE FELT WE HAD TO. (70's.80's.istanbul)
However I'm of a great feeling that if you continuously repeat these negative tactics it will breed into the team. Teams with world class players. Attacking players like Ronaldo, bale etc etc are being asked more and more to play without the ball. I'm of a generation and agree that thus is ok when you have too but should not be your day to day practice.
I will be watching the semi finals very closely and hope that the team with the ball prevail. I can't stand another morale victory for the team that set up to not pass and move another genius master class who purely defend is not what I would want from liverpool. Sorry that's engrained into my way. I will be rooting for bayern tonight and also atletico on Wednesday.

Agree J and hoping the same. Have had £20 on Athletico from the group stage so I'm not arguing with you!

I'd compare us to atletico in Spain. The way we play and the surprise factor of nobody expecting us to challenge.
Hope your bet comes off. I'd have a bet on mourinho parking the bus himself right now.

What sickens me is that Chelsea will probably win the Champions league playing their anti-football and Mourinho will be even more of a media kok.
But at least he wont last more than one more season at Chelsea because the Ruskie owner has an even bigger ego than Jose and no doubt they will clash one too many times and Jose will be off again, probably to Barca? what are the odds?

I agree that mourinho won't stay long but Barcelona a won't accept joses win at all costs tactics. Ever! They've had a supposed bad season. There still there or there shouts. Got to the quarters of champions league etc etc. it's because there standards are so High
