Chelsea v Bayern (Billy Gilmour)

[dh1963]

That young left back is going to be a superstar

 

[Jjbscotty]

I always thought Arfield would’ve been the best Canada player whenever he was away on international duty.

 

[bob1873]

Bayern are some team, great to watch, definitely in with a chance of winning it this year

Agreed thought they were past it but they’re miles above Chelsea.

 

[bmac800]

Chelsea have been utterly outclassed

 

[baystatebear]

Alphonso Davis is having a brilliant game, almost since-handedly destroyed Chelsea. Not surprisingly he is a candidate for Bundesliga's POTY.

 

[scott-nisbet]

The Gilmour boys hype get's better every time he's on the bench , god knows what it'll be like when he actually gets a game...

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

The young lad at left back is lightening quick. 19 years old! Canadian international. Incredible talent.

He’s rapid! Reminds me of Bale against Inter years ago

 

[Coisty09]

Bayern are just too good....

 

[Dunnybear]

0-3 ...,,, Bayern are so good when they advance forward!

 

[monkey magic]

Bayern have been relentless since their first goal and and always looking for more goals. I hope our players are watching this game tonight. Professionalism at its finest.

 

[randomhero]

Agreed thought they were past it but they’re miles above Chelsea.

Shakey start to the season but since Kovac left they've sorted themselves out

 

[themightyi]

Chelsea getting absolutely rattled is always good viewing.

Bayern are fantastic.

 

[bob1873]

The young lad at left back is lightening quick. 19 years old! Canadian international. Incredible talent.

Was he born in Canada and brought up in Germany or was he coached in Canada? If the latter they clearly have a good system.

 

[bluereason]

Left back is an absolute stand out. Hes got everything in his locker. He is going to be one of the best left backs in the game.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

As good as an away performance you'll get from Bayern. Outstanding.

 

[Jim Denny]

Young left back for Bayern lightning quick, big future for him.

 

[Richard Clark]

Bayern are just to good for Chelsea.

Different class. Such a joy to watch

 

[ewansurf]

Shame he never got a run out the night.

Might not see the CL again for a while.

 

[Scooby]

Bayern have a good mix of young energetic players, and clever experienced players.

They are quite impressive.

 

[Berserker]

Red card caps a terrible night for Chelsea.

 

[Coisty09]

Was he born in Canada and brought up in Germany or was he coached in Canada? If the latter they clearly have a good system.

I think the commentator said he was born in Ghana and was a refugee whose family were given asylum in Canada.

 

[sheddensbear]

Bayern have been outstanding. Marco Alonso red card. Chelsea were playing a back 3, now he's off.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

Ray Liotta sent off now.

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

Alonso belted him in the chops. Stupidity like that must infuriate a manager

 

[ssblue]

I always thought Arfield would’ve been the best Canada player whenever he was away on international duty.

They also have Jonathan David who will be sold this summer for a huge fee.

 

[Berserker]

I think the commentator said he was born in Ghana and was a refugee whose family were given asylum in Canada.

Reading up on him.

Signed from Vancouver for 9m. Received his Canadian citizenship on June 6, 2017. Davies was born in Buduburam, a refugee camp in the Gomoa East District of Ghana. His parents lived there while fleeing Liberia during the Second Liberian Civil War.

Bayern- Liverpool final would be a Cracker

 

[baystatebear]

Along with Bayern's previous demolition of Spurs, this game is farther evidence that outside of Liverpool and Man City, the EPL isn't all that good.

 

[dcbear]

Bayern fans singing "Football's coming home".

Who said the Germans had no sense of humour.

 

[Renfrew@UKGB&NI]

As good as an away performance you'll get from Bayern. Outstanding.

Not long ago, they gave out a hiding in london.

 

[Berserker]

Along with Bayern's previous demolition of Spurs, this game is farther evidence that outside of Liverpool and Man City, the EPL isn't all that good.

Was thinking that. Man City v Real is going to be a very interesting game.

 

[Dunnybear]

Bayern have been relentless since their first goal and and always looking for more goals. I hope our players are watching this game tonight. Professionalism at its finest.

Bayern have been excellent on attack - especially their cut backs. Chelsea despite all their money poor. It just goes to show how good a result Rangers had last week against a good footballing side.

 

[dh1963]

Along with Bayern's previous demolition of Spurs, this game is farther evidence that outside of Liverpool and Man City, the EPL isn't all that good.

The 3 English teams in the last 16 so far are played 3, lost 3, zero goals scored.

 

[MainStandLoyal]

Chelsea has capitulated since Giroud went off, Lampard has to take the blame for this.

 

[Renfrew@UKGB&NI]

Along with Bayern's previous demolition of Spurs, this game is farther evidence that outside of Liverpool and Man City, the EPL isn't all that good.

They had 4 teams in the final last year, still plenty left this season. Good enough, dont you think

 

[Drovavan Dünaditch]

That was a pasting. Bayern were clinical, young left back and Gnabry were unreal

 

[Skyy Bluenose]

Willian is a very classy player when he can be bothered. Based on tonight's complete lack of effort, I'd have him on the first bus out of town.

 

[baystatebear]

The 3 English teams in the last 16 so far are played 3, lost 3, zero goals scored.

As to my claim that the EPL is way over-hyped. For eg. would players like Ross Barkley or Tammy Abrams even make the Bayern 1st team squad?

 

[1Hamburg]

That Bayern team was fitter, faster and cleverer in every aspect of the game in the 2nd half.
Chelsea could only run after them and hope they didn't score more.

 

[doyle55]

Gnabry not good enough for Arsenal or Tony Pulis West Brom.

 

[wee blue dug]

Bayern had a young black lad playing tonight 18 yr old looks a monster...

 

[UnionCruiser72]

As to my claim that the EPL is way over-hyped. For eg. would players like Ross Barkley or Tammy Abrams even make the Bayern 1st team squad?

The 4 finalists of the champions league and europa league were all English only last season.

To say it’s way over hyped is nonsense.

 

[doyle55]

Canada first football superstar.

 

[Paisleybear30]

Davies is some player must be in the Canadian team with Arfield

You implying arfield should tap him up incase borna leaves in the summer

 

[Graemeh89]

That left back for Bayern has looked a proper prospect in the admittedly limited times I've seen him. Looked like an brilliant athlete but actually decent on the ball

Scotty Arfields team-mate with Canada.

 

[Graemeh89]

Bayern are a class above Chelsea now. Chelsea are a europa league quality side these days.

 

[Howard Carter]

Rudiger poor again tonight. Should have had Zouma on.

 

[Bermondsey Wall West]

Just back from the game. Chelsea were absolutely torn a new arse tonight. Arsenal fans must think they had Gnabry's evil twin playing for them. He completely bossed it.

 

[cooprfc]

I don't want Gilmour to do too well on the basis that it may encourage other clubs to come snap up our youngsters for buttons. Selfish I know!

 

[baystatebear]

To say it’s way over hyped is nonsense.

Reaching the semi's of the CL depends many factors not the least of which is - 'the luck of the draw'. Some teams have an easy pathway by virtue of being placed in a less competitive group, whilst others, because their groups contain much tougher opponents, have a more difficult time qualifying for the semis. Therefore to imply as you did in your comment, that only the 'four best teams' will reach the semi-finals, is as misleading as it is superficial.
