[capriccioso 2,545]

i was exagerrating a little

Hahaha

For the record he covered 10.775 km tonight.

Come on, Kalou scored but wasn't involved in anything, i didn't even see him. He's supposed to be an attacking winger or something. Just because he scored i'm not gonna say he was good. I didn't see him attack their right back or anything a winger should do. But hey... he scored so he's a hero.

I was a bit disappointed with Ramires in the 2nd half tho, he skinned their LB so many times, he got booked but then he didn't force him into any bad challenges that coulda seen him get sent off. He was absolutely electric in that first half tho, just lacks the quality ball sometimes (all the time).

Anyway i don't want any Kalou debates, he used his strikers instincts today and was the match winner so well done to him. He is a striker after all anyway isn't he really? We got a great win and we should be ready now to have a great season finale!

FFS look on the bright side

Shocking to see that he did less than Mata (12.41km, more than any other player on the pitch) or even Torres (11.45km). I guess our little Brazilian just knows how to pick his runs.

[capriccioso 2,545]

LMAO

Classy. Really classy.

[Rambo 1,729]

It's funny how their fans jump to conclusions like that..pathetic.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Very organised and disciplined tonight, great team performance and a wonderful away result to wrap it up. Maybe the time has come for us to have some luck and win this fucking CL.

Erm, translation?

Luiz was outstanding, so impressed with him recently. Massively improved. Shame I can't choose 3 MOTM, as Ramires/Kalou were also excellent. Torres showing glimpses, all he needs now is to remember to wear his shooting boots.

For me, Benfica were very underwhelming, considering the players they have. Some nice passing moves, nothing much more.

Bring on the second leg.

The only real quality one I can remember is towards the end where Cole cleared off. Otherwise, it's usually just putting in crosses or drawing fouls and lump the ball into the penalty box. Wouldn't mind them doing the same next week.

Not exactly what I had in mind.

[capriccioso 2,545]

We should have unleashed an angry Drogba on them. There's no footballer in the world that has the ability to dominate games as much as an angry Drogba, in that state I think he's even better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Erm, translation?

Not necessary. Last three lines are all we'll ever need. Google Translate says its 'Just Who Deserves Respect'

Not exactly what I had in mind.

He was being sarcastic

[Wilson 358]

MOTM: Luiz. Great performance. Kalou though, who would have thought? JOKE. Anyone can score a tap in. The goal was all Ramires' and Torres' work.

[robdog 2,084]

I want to say to all of the Kalou hatas on this board (& Lord there is a lot of them) to seriously fuck off!!! Great job by RDM in his tactics. He got it right tonight. Mad props to everyone in Blue, even Cole who tried to help Benfica score UTC!!! & KTBFFH!!!

They do the one-touch passing game well. Decent movement.

Oh, and diving/complaining, they do that very fucking well indeed.

"Chelsea ended Benfica’s 10-game winning streak in Europe & stopped them scoring at home for the first time in 3 years."
