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

[Ollie 4,400]

We all understand what home advantage means but that surely doesn't mean that Chelsea can't win. Bayern only beat Madrid in the last minute, playing at home doesn't make anyone invincible. Its a football pitch with the fans separated 50/50. Neither team is gonna think about Bayern being at home in the final whilst they are actually playing because it wont be on anyones mind. it will actually feel like a final to us.

It's a football pitch, it's got 4 corners, 2 goals and the surface is grass.

Unlike that fucking pitch in Mosccow.

Torres over Kalou would be a disaster as we'll have Bosingwa playing at right back. Torres for Malouda on the left wing may be a reasonable shout.

Said Kalou, meant Malouda. Yes the idea has merit, but in RDM we trust.

Hey guys, http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/250/Tournaments/12/Seasons/2944/Stages/6021/TeamStatistics/Europe-UEFA-Champions-League-2011-2012

couple statistics I found here, looks like Bayern's defense according to stats have been better than Chelsea's.

Anyway its only statistics

That's because in the beginning and middle parts of the season, our Defense was HORRIBLE. AVB's philosophy basically meant good ol' Defending went out the window. However, under RDM, we're back to playing like the Chelsea of years ago, and our Defense has accordingly gotten much more solid. The addition of Gary Cahill has also helped. Luiz has gotten more reliable and, for the most part, doesn't do anything too risky anymore. A mixture of these factors has led to the very good defense we have now. So, those stats while accurate, are a bit misleading and don't reflect our current Defense.

[Predator 114]

My thoughts are about the same, I wish there were stats based strictly about the round of 16 to the semifinal

----------Cech----------

Bos--Cahill--Luiz--Cole

----Mikel----Lampard---

Torres---Mata------Kalou

---------Drogba----------

Just can't stomach to see Kalouda out there in the biggest game in our history. So Talou it is.

I heard Cahill is doubtful for the game

No way is Cahill missing this game.

We Must WIN

For the sake and future of this club

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

We need Cahill more than Luiz for this one, his dominance on aerial battles is key since they are going to send in beast crosses to Gomez. Cole will handle Robben by himself, so I'm not worried about that.

[Predator 114]

Even if he is able to come back, wont he be a bit out of form?

Maybe, but for big matches like this, form goes right out of the window...

[Predator 114]

True that, I guess his anxiety enough will boost his form up

both clubs want to win this just as bad

The thought of Bosingwa and possibly Malouda starting in this final for us... :doh:

Nah,I am sure RDM won't risk playing Malouda,Kalou should start as the left winger.

Then who would you start at RW? Don't tell me you're gonna say Sturridge. Him & Bosingwa on one side is defensive combo disaster!
