Sure it wasn't attractive, and Chelsea should have been able to drive the play, but Jose parked the bus and did what he needed to do to get a result at a tough away stadium.

I don't think Atletico are being discounted, just that there is an expectation that the semifinals of the CL will feature two immense clubs going toe-to-toe. Chelsea's tactics are just dissapointing from a neutral perspective, if you ignore that they were completely expected.
