Blue Armour

Hit the nail on the head...expected them to be the source of energy, but they seemed too casual. Malouda played decent.

Didn't seem to be in the mood to run...very lackadaisical

Well played Bertrand...I'll take comfort from the fact that the commentators said that the draw mattered more to us than Arsenal...

2nd counts...lets hope its a good one

Lol..got my time zones wrong again...missed an entire half

Lol..Jeremy Clarkson...we should probably hire him to do some of our press conferences..

We should put Bosingwa at CB. Plays very well when he's out of position.

Happy B'day!. Am going to eat a cake on your behalf :eyebrows:

But Berbatov was just sitting on the bench most of the time...he was more of a passenger rather than a player for them this season. Irregardless, I do have to ask this: Isn't there a signing-on fee involved?

Two good points. When we faced them back in 2009 we let them have only one shot on target. But then again Messi was a different animal, and so too were Essien and Bosingwa. Its for this reason that point 2 you mentioned becomes more important. We have to look to score at least one goal, as keeping a clean sheet at Camp Nou will be difficult. Someone like Torres/Sturridge to burst through their high line on a counter could prove useful.

I would rest him personally, but he isn't called a box-to-box midfielder for nothing.

Hope he takes the past few weeks in a positive sense and translates it onto the pitch.

I guess I know your real name now

But giving an extension, just to sell a player (never mind if its Drogba) at the first chance? I don't know if its right, but its certainly unethical.

Sometimes I think we have more financial analysts than fans on this forum...

Danny DeVito has been tweeting about tonight's game: "Didier Drogba's newest fan. Holy sh*tballs."

What rumors?

Very valid point, that.

I I don't know if we can prevent them from scoring this time, but we should look to score as well... I don't think sitting back and defending for the whole 90 mins will keep them out... The ref at Camo Nuo will be under greater pressure.

How many more yellows till suspension?

That's my opinion as well, but Jimmy Floyd has an interesting opinion (Its from Goal.com):

True, he really doesn't like Toure.

The only way I see him playing in the centre is alongside someone...Otherwise he needs to be like David Villa or Anelka, and be part of a mobile front 3, switching from the centre to the wing and back.
