Champions League Final 2012 - Chelsea 1 (4) - (3) 1 Bayern Munich

[Predator 114]

How well is the Mikel-Essien partnership in the midfield? Has it been used before?

Also, how well do Cahill-Luiz work together?

It looks to me that both sides defenses have fallen apart. At least nothing happened to the offensive sides.

I think our defence will be just fine. And I'm sure the pairings will be tested thoroughly in the coming weeks.

The only liablity will come where Bosingwa is concerned. Both him and Ferreira are mediocre. The give Robben a huge chance to secure himself some CL glory, against our right flank.

The amount of luck we've had against Barca compared to all the bad luck we've had in previous years, you just get the feeling that this is our year & we're destined to win the CL.

Luck? couple of balls hitting the bar is luck?

You know what luck is?

Goal given that never was.

Turning 5 stonewall penalties down.

Player slipping on the wet pitch and misses the winning penalty kick.

Refereeing decisions going your way is Luck.

First off, I doubt you have to worry about the Essien-Mikel partnership. Mata will most likely play as CAM meaning it will be a Mikel-Lampard partnership in DM. The Lampard-Mikel partnership has been high class. Mikel has become a good holding player and Lampard has re-invented himself in a deeper role. It will be a solid partnership.

I don't know about your defence, but ours is definitely in good shape. Luiz-Cahill partnership has been very good and Solid. We can cope without JT just fine. He got sent of against Barcelona and we defended just as well.

Drogba will step in as the vocal leader to rally the troops. My only worry tbh is Bosingwa at RB.

I think so, as well the stars have aligned for us. Some say we've been lucky this year, but some credit must go to our defence for forcing the opposition to miscue their shots just slightly enough for the post/Cech to bail us out.

This contrasts with Moscow when I was thinking more along the lines of the stars being aligned for United.

Bosingwa has a great record against the best wingers around. He lifts his game several notches when he's up against them, shame he's not arsed when he's facing the Victor Moses' of the world.

Perfect for Robben than

Both sides seem to have there advantages and disadvantages

Robben hasn't had much luck in the big finals has he, on a club & international level. Similarities between him and Michael Ballack in that sense.

No surprises and no one can blame them.

^ That doesn't even make sense from Robben, we 'adapted' our game for Barca.

Like Ballack, he's a cursed man in finals anyway, so fuck him.

[Ollie 4,400]

Hopefully they all think we'll park the bus and completely misjudge the game. He's probably saying that because he knows they wont break through if we do so it's reverse psychology. Anyway ...

You know what??? I give a ratz ass what they say. Robben...well he is going up against The Chels, I can understand. The rest of those fools can kick rocks.

Oh Arjen

I think he is just trying to lower Chelsea's confidence. Must be an emotional match for him, first his old club Real Madrid, now his even older club Chelsea
