[madalista 30]

Also provided a superb pass to Torres...shame Nando's shot got saved.

he has improved in the second half...had a couple of nice passes...maybe was threatened with a subtitution lol

[TopDrog 119]

Luiz playing well...

[SeB 1,281]

He is.

No, we knew it was a tactical game and that we needed the rigor of Frank instead of the willing to go forward of Meireles. Happy of the first half, thanks in part to Lampard we kept the draw and created chances ; and thanks to him we lead now

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Rambo off, meireles on.

[Milan 17,878]

Meireles is about to come in.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Fucking hell Ashley Cole why didn't you just clear the ball away!! FFS

[Steve 10,227]

Raul on for Rami!

It's because during halftime managers fix details they noticed went wrong in the first 45 mins. It means the guy on the sideline is doing a great job.

We're supposed to perform from the start though, we tend to start slow. And it was the same under Ancelotti btw, this isn't anything new.

time for subs me thinks, good performance so far but there a good team at home trying as hard as they can to get something. Drogba will hold it up better then torres but torres probably more dangerous on break if we want another. Good sub with merieles there.

Malouda's been reading this forum apparently, don't recall him taking any long distance shots - yet.

It was a moment.I know he's not playing like he used to play, but he is not that bad as some want to make him.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Luiz has been absolute class so far today.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Super Sub Anelka coming on!

[TomCFC 356]

Nico coming on.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Anelka to come on

[Kieran. 6,317]

Absolutely a penalty.

[Rambo 1,729]

Luiz has been absolute class so far today.

Malouda deserves an honorable mention as well, made some pretty good decisions and provided some good wing play on the right.
