Las7 951 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The thing about Danny Boy is that he is a defensive liability. You bring him on when we need a goal & some pace. You can't really dispute w/ the way RDM ran things yesterday. True we were a bit lucky, but we got the result we wanted...A goal advantage. All to play for on Tuesday.I think that Sturridge would be a great option for Tuesday to stretch them on the counter I think he is faster than all the defenders they are able to play but it would also rest upon Sturridge putting in such a defensive shift that I've not seen from him on the right wing. I'd personally prefer he played than Torres - who I have no confidence in this type of match(or any match for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Great win, i was so happy yesterday. What a nerve racking game, i was shocked they missed so many sitters but i guess luck was on our side. I am proud of everyone, but if i had to pick a MOTM it will either be Cahill or Cole, but don't get me wrong, they all played great. Hopefully more of the same next week.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Id take a 2-1 Loss.We cannot be comfortable with a 0-0 scoreline. I dont want a Liverpool repeat from 5 years ago. Where we lost on Penalties.I really hope the referee doesnt fuck it up.We have NEVER lost to Barca 11 on 11. Hope it stays 11 on 11 and we get a 1-1 draw.

Either way, we're going to have to counter efficiently for the 2nd leg because Barca won't miss those chances at Nou Camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Inter Milan were very lucky last time around. Barca were 1-0 and during the end Bojan's perfectly legitimate goal was ruled out by the Refs. Had it stayed with a score of 2-0 Barca would have gone through.

RollingPapers 194 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Chelsea “studied Milan” in order to beat BarcaROBERTO DI MATTEO explains Chelsea have managed to beat Barcelona by looking at Milan.Chelsea surprised the world last night after beating FC Barcelona with a great defensive display (or an example of anti-football – depends which side you support), taking the advantage in the UCL semi-finals.The Blues performance was similar to what Milan did against Barcelona in the previous round, but the difference is Didier Drogba’s goal from a counter-attack. Chelsea admit they learned from Milan.“Our preparations for the game against Barça were based on the tactical approach that Milan used when they played versus Barça,” Chelsea’s Swiss-born Italian boss Roberto Di Matteo said, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. “By studying how Milan played against Barça, we were able to stop them last night.”Chelsea vice-captain Frank Lampard said: “We watched the 2 matches that Milan played against Barçelona, and then we understood what we had to do against them. The second leg will be a great one.”Milan’s brilliant home display (defensively) was not enough as they conceded three goals at the Camp Nou Stadium also due to a poor refereeing. The second leg will be played in Spain next Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they score in 93rd, we are sure to lose as that would be a huge confidence blow going into the extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Barca won't miss those chances at Nou Camp.Since when has playing at home been equated with finishing chances? That's not a given. They could turn up and be rubbish again, they lack natural finishers now that Villa's out for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kicked us out of Europe in 2010 and we went on to win the league it is all an elaborate plan. mourinho will tell his players to kick the hell out of messi and we will go through. mark my words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
