Chelsea is good defensively against teams that can't score.
They never faced anyone great in CL.

Did they already forget the beating Bayern put on them last year?

Man City wrecked them recently.

kellmuff · 04-28-2021, 12:11 PM

Manchester City "wrecked" Chelsea by getting beat 1-0 in the FA Cup semis just two weeks ago. lmao

and who cares about what Bayern did to them last season. It's an entirely team team with a new manager.

YayNJ · 04-28-2021, 12:13 PM

... and they still aren't the best defensive team in Europe.

Chelsea fans are a weird bunch.

Talkin about their 3-1 loss.
They gave up 5 goals to West Brom this month

Games get tighter later in the season once they mean more.

Anyway...looks like PSG up to +240 now for todays game....

YayNJ · 04-28-2021, 12:40 PM

Man City will struggle tonight. Every team does a for a few weeks after playing Leeds.

k13 · 04-28-2021, 01:44 PM

+275 psg now

That's a lot of money coming in on City...
Is someone injured?

US odds on football are usually terrible, they take far too much margin. You can get 4.1 on PSG at Betfair for example (equivalent to +310), an exchange with tight two way markets that get arb'ed if they remotely fall our of line.

Betfair Exchange almost always give the best odds and has the tightest markets with least margin. A lot of professional firms are hooked into their API making markets.

fadster · 04-28-2021, 03:01 PM

PSG the better team so far and deserve the lead, Man City need to be more composed in possession.

fadster · 04-28-2021, 03:37 PM

City more on it in the 2nd half. Much better on the ball which also means no counters for Neymar and Mbappe. Would add insult to injury to the holdout ESL teams if the first two to jump ship meet in the UCL final.

Ianhatcher · 04-28-2021, 03:43 PM

What an absolute collapse in the 2nd half.

YayNJ · 04-28-2021, 03:54 PM

PSG in the second half

Incredible collapse. Completely lost their heads. Was Mbappe even playing? Anonymous.

Foden showing once again why he's the best young player in the world.

k13 · 04-28-2021, 04:46 PM

Never bet against strong steam.

That sure changed fast.

k13 · 04-28-2021, 04:57 PM

What's Navas doing...that was terrible...

reddragonthe · 04-28-2021, 05:00 PM

City just too good. I was try to do real-life with it on in the background, but they are just so strong through the midfield and just suffocating any opportunities. So well organized defensively. When they are on it just makes everyone look so bad. It's a lot easier for people to disappear in a thick jungle.

And yes - those goals... yikes... nice wall, Navas just lost on that pseudo cross/ball-in...

gonzagacubs · 04-28-2021, 06:05 PM

Fortunate to come away with the win and more importantly 2 away goals. Huge.

City wasn’t their best tonight, and PSG for the most part really didn’t allow them to do anything once they got close to the box. PSG had no idea what they were doing in the 2nd half. Hard to play out from the back against pressure when you have zero intentions of going forward. Mbappe did nothing, especially in the 2nd half while his teammates had to absorb all the pressure while he just hung out at the halfway line. Neymar spent 30% of the match on the ground pretending to be injured.

Well, he is.

Be interested to hear your contribution, if it's as wonky as your suggestion Chelsea are the best defensive team in Europe it should be a cracker

kellmuff · 04-29-2021, 11:30 AM

the fact you rate him over someone like Haaland is hilarious.

YayNJ · 04-29-2021, 12:31 PM

there's more to football than sticking the ball in the net, charver.

k13 · 04-29-2021, 02:31 PM

Barcelona lost to Grenada in a big game ...lol

YayNJ · 04-29-2021, 02:52 PM

Great advert for the "super league" tonight in the Europa Cup haha

fadster · 04-29-2021, 03:03 PM

Cannot believe we've gone into a European semi final with Xhaka at left back. Arteta saw Pep last night and is trying to copy the false 9 formation with spectacularly bad results. Need Aubameyang on for Ceballos, move Saka to LB, Xhaka alongside Partey. Tie isn't over yet but another 45 minutes like that it will be.

YayNJ · 04-29-2021, 03:35 PM

How was that a penalty in the Man Utd game? Scandalous.
