why did ashley cut it back to the line he had won the ball

great defending IVA

Lukaku played in belgium for one and willian and shaktar did very well last season and this season in champions league if he can play at the highest level club football and do very well i say its a no brainer

Welcome to the boards, nice to have another North American Blues fan here, to your statement about frustrating leo messi, from what i have seen of the lad that does not work Real Madrid have tried to employ this tactic time and time again in every el classico but he seems to not get phased by it, the other thing is taht we can't just focus on messi he is a talisman don't get me wrong but their attack is too potent to focus on one player for us to be successful in 2 legs the team defending has to be top notch, we have to bring back that good old english defending blocked crosses and shots as well as mikel will need to stand on his head to cut out passing lanes, as well as some high pressure from the forwards to cause the backline to give up the ball TBH we have a serious chance as barca have not been the greatest in recent weeks and our form since RDM took charge has been pretty good even with some scrappy wins but that is a sign of a great side pulling off wins when you play poorly COME ON YOU BLUES!!! :blue scalf:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! :blue scalf:

ok 2-1 and by that i mean too legit goals

mata to rambo WOW!

bosingwa is fast but bale making him look like a pylon

time for kalou to come out .. sturridge in to have a go the backline

eeeek that was very embarrassing..but i'll take it right now

cant get the link to work..http://www.footytube.com/video/Olympique-Marseille-vs-Montpellier-HSC-113450?ref=lchan_results

i love this "unproven" argument when we signed players like j cole and lampard from west ham at the tim they were unproven and look at the impact they had/have at chelsea.. after watching that marseille game it has shown that he is that next dimension to our midfield we need with rambo and mata.. we need to get behind this and make sure get some serious buzz about this good young player

he turned nothing into something

Welll a W is a win at this stage we can win pretty next season once we have made sure we are in champions league again next season

slipped twice and wacks one at the back post wowzers...

mikel stole it off it his boot then gets fouled..MAGIC!

here comes the goal...

drogba could have squared that for sturridge

essien needs to come off...before he gets sent off romeu needs to be on can push mereiles further up the pitch...

bertrand because hes young and not establishes does not get that call.. ashley cole gets that call

not at all just with his recent form and the way hes been linking up with mata hes been far less useless than malouda has the first 43 mins

i didnt wanna say anything but the link up play with kalou mata and torres looks alot better than the mata malouda drogs atm

http://www.sportlemon.tv/c-1.html try that one fellas if firstrow is still bugging

he gets a lot of stick but is a classy footballer even playing out of position...

is it just me or does drogba really not pressure the backline when we dont have the ball?
