I get what you're trying to say...I think. Yes, you have to defend to a degree in order to play counter attacking football. But you have to defend to win games so it's not like it's bad to defend. Hell, Barca's best teams, for all their tiki-taka and possession, were the ones that defended well whether by more "traditional" methods or by high pressing and ball hogging. It's extremely misleading and borderline criminal to use the phrase "parking the bus" and counter attacking football together. Both possession and counter attacking football are attacking, offensive brands of football...one just doesn't have the ball as much as the other. "Parking the bus" refers to the completely defensive focus employed when you have the ball, IMO, not the fact that you are actually trying to defend.

Eh, fair enough...I'll agree with that. Looks like you are just better w/ words than me
Dre wins the internet, again.
If you want to see parking the bus watch West Ham vs Chelsea or Chelsea vs Barca in 2012:

You had Drogba in the back third defending and even getting a stupid penalty in the box in the second half.

Wise move.
£50M is back to training. He is not available to play against Newcastle, but I think he will be ready for the following game.
Back from a 24 hour "break" ready for the game tomorrow against Newcastle. Hopefully Arsenal will drop points tomorrow.

I'm pretty confident they will.
Lol trevas you got banned??
I posted a bunch of gifs of women's boobs and butts one night on the general board. The thread made it till lunch time the next day before being removed. No nudity was involved.
In B/CS this weekend, is there any place that shows Chelsea matches?
Somehow I lost this thread during international play. Time to resume duties of tormenting people at work.
The Chelsea team to face Newcastle (4-2-3-1).
Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, D Luiz, Azpilicueta; Matic, Lampard (c); Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Eto’o
Subs: Schwarzer, Cole, Mikel, Ramires, Schurrle, Salah, Ba

Smith I don't think I have enjoyed a soccer game as thoroughly as that one. I have been waiting for this all season.

Likewise! Now let's get the job done today!
Inches wide by Oscar. Much better these past few minutes.
Hazard.
Hazard!
Hazard is something else right now.
I want more!
Beautiful finish. Matic reminds me of Rowan Atkinson.
Oh. My. God.
Wow. Unreal.
Damn
Dirty goal!
Hazard wants the hatty.
Eto is a poon.
At least £50 should be back for the next game.
Wow. What a bizarre goal that would have been.
Damn. Such a smooth penalty. Hatty for Hazard.
Hatty hero!
