[CL - Second Leg] Chelsea F.C. vs F.C. Barcelona - [P]+[R]

[TheBlueBalla]

Ogsimon is dead on: Without Robben, this team's attack is seriously pedestrian, mainly because the team has not learned to be as deadly without him. Teams can bottle one winger up, but when the two of them are out there, with a center forward, then its trouble (makes me wonder if wed be up the same creek if duff and not robben were injured ) But set pieces are the saving grace of the offense. I think this is one of the best teams in the world at coverting off corners, so im hoping that the chelsea boys, especially lamps, opt to take long range shots early to get blocks, and hopefully, corners. The biggest thing is, chelsea must set the pace of the game: last time, Barca came out firing, and caught us off our heels, first goal aside. Lamps and Duffer, 2-0, its got to be The most important thing will be keeping them off the scoreboard, and if any defense in the world can do it, its this one, or Milan's

Nah I just think its gonna be similar to the first leg, deadlock, Barca cant crack Chelsea's defense, then the Blues get desperate and push forward and get hit on the break

Cruyff: Barcelona MUST beat Chelsea to save football!


Barcelona hero Johan Cruyff says his old team must dump Chelsea out of the Champions League for the good of the game!

The Dutch legend coached Barca to European Cup victory in 1992 and believes Mourinho's defensive tactics are poisoning European football.

Cruyff added: "Barcelona must knock Chelsea out for the good of football. The Chelsea way of playing is clearly results above everything else.

"I only pray Barca are loyal to their mission of playing beautiful football."

Cruyff -- Wat a FAG


Any ways this is gonna be an extremely tough match for us and a big test of charachter for chelsea and Jose Maurhinio, my opinion that the Chelsea squad and Maurhinio have the charchter to get out of this sticky situation , i hope we get an early goal and then lets see wat happens after that. So my prediction Chelsea to win this one 1 - 0.

 

[datboy]

a late prediction here..

1-1

Lampard
Eto'o

Barca go through.

wow, are you serious? you have serious issues, my friend, if u can't respect a player/person as amazing as him.

anyway, i think whichever team scores first is going to win this game, and i really really hope it's barcelona.

Come on Barca!

Barcelona 3 Chelsea 1 on aggregate

And honsetly, I'm really happy that UEFA has told Mourinho to shut up. He is extremely obnoxious, and doesn't know how to lose. I hope he gets fined and maybe that will teach him that the footballing world does not revolve around him.

 

[shadowofanubis6]

I think it's good tha mourinho acts like this. It makes the games definitly more fun to watch and talk about. He's like that kid on the playground that keeps talking smack until you beat him. And when you do, it's a great feeling to shut him up. People with competitive spirit like him make anything more fun

What the hell is this flak that Chelsea continues to get about playing boring. They played conservative, A MAN DOWN, against the best attacking side in europe while they were shorthanded. Does that erase the scores of 4-0 wins, and the accolates the two winger attack was getting before Robben was knocked out? Jeez, thats getting old. And what the hell is up with this :

Gio: Barca Fear Blues

Its like this team is dr. jekyll and mr fvcking hyde. One minute Ronnie supposedly states that English teams have no chance, and the next Gio says this. Maybe people see now, THIS is the value of Mourinho. Everyone on here is talking about him, not what Lampard said, or Terry's prediction, of Duff's comments last week. They werent made. Every camera and tape recorder is fixated on him and his big mouth. Im absolutely convinced the whole team will be focused and fixated on the task at hand, no distractions. I dunno if its gonna be enough, but i know that they will be as ready as they will ever be. May the best team win

Edit: nobody means any disrespect to Mr. Cruijff ( ), everyone knows hes a legend, and as a Barca alum, what else is he gonna say?
Just had a question: If i wanted to get a sig, do i contract a sigmaker through PM? or is there a thread I go to? Any help would be appreciated
