IF Sturridge can stop being selfish and help out the team better defensively, I'm sure he would be starting regularly under RDM but it does seem that he's not getting that after being dropped recently judging by his display against Arsenal!

IF we don't?! We have to try and get that 4th spot via PL until it is totally impossible. Otherwise, we are taking huge gamble on it in the CL final, which is totally inadvisable IMO.

We should be getting more chances to attack in the final but if we can shut them down on the flanks, we would have basically shut half of their team down IMO. Need to have the same work ethic and discipline from yesterday in the final.

IF we can defend and play for each other like yesterday with that team spirit, we should be alright.

LEGEND!!

Ridiculous suggestion!

IF Bayern are going to get "any sort" of home advantage in the final, then the away goal rule should be allowed too!

It's all about man-management and keeping things simple which AVB didn't.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/apr/25/john-terry-champions-league-trophy?CMP=twt_gu Absolutely farcical from UEFA!!

Bayern are a tough team but I would certainly prefer to play them than Madrid because of the Mourinho factor AND Bayern have 3 players suspended for the final - Gustavo, Badstuber & Alaba(2 of their back 4!).

Howard Webb is the referee for this one.

Guess there is absolutely no chance that the UEFA will rescind those yellow cards or maybe even suspend the bans till next season? Can the club actually appeal for that?

It's true anyway. Just some people can't take it. Anyway, will have to agree to disagree here.

Noob reply. Some people's judgment on Torres here have been clouded by their love for him..

Looking back at the goals, really can't underestimate the importance and more crucially, the timing of those goals. Drogba and Ramires's goal were absolutely key particularly the latter's one. Those two goals gave us the platform to play and defend the way we did and had we not got the goal before HT yesterday, don't think we would be sitting here talking about Champions League in Munich as chasing that away goal with just 10 men against Barcelona at the Camp Nou would be a near impossible task.

Maybe you should try watching the game again after he came on. Yes, he may have tried going forward with the ball but he lost it far far too easily and when that happened, he was like just jogging back.

Erm, didn't say anything regarding with your post earlier. Was just making my own point on him.

My only frustration with him sometimes is he gives away the ball too cheaply and that was what led to Barcelona's 2nd goal last night. Other than that, he did alright.

Wonder what is AVB thinking on all of this right now.

I know. Was just pointing out..

IF it is 4-2-3-1: Cech, Bosingwa, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Malouda, Mata, Kalou and Drogba IF it is 4-3-3: Cech, Bosingwa, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Essien, Mata, Kalou and Drogba Only a difference there is one has Malouda while the other has Essien. Major conundrum for RDM with no Ramires in that midfield and Bosingwa at RB...

Had a very strange dream last night. Went to kill Sanchez by drowning him into the ocean while also torturing him in the process. Have no idea where that came from!

Bosingwa starting at RB for us in a Champions League final. Who would have thought of that?!!

Not wanting to dampen the excitement around here but thought he was poor after he came on. He lost the ball very cheaply on 3-4 occasions and hardly track back to help out the defence.

Apologies for being a bit of a party pooper here but those suspensions and injury to Cahill is really doing my head in!!
