UCL Semi-Final - Liverpool v. Chelsea - 2nd Leg {P} & {R}

[RUSI]

Massive match tomorrow.

It will be on espn2 for those in the states. This is to see who will be the first finalist to play in Istanbul.

I expect a tense match. I think Liverpool will win on a brace from Steven Gerrard with Lampard scoring one for the Blues.

Let's hope for a great match.

for some reason I think Liverpool will win

but I don't want them to cause I want to see Chelsea vs Milan

 

[Punkt]

1-1

Baros / Lampard (in the last minute )

 

[no7]

I really want the Blues to win but like mika I have a feeling that liverpool will go through...

Mourinho: All the pressure is on them

Benitez should put up the following quote, by Mourniho from the above article, in the locker room:

"If they lose they will have nothing."

Also, the REFEREE for the game has been named..he is from Slovakia

1-0 Pool

[ForzaNerrazurri]

0-0, before they make it into the shootout both teams pass out from boredom.

hmm for real though, i'll say 1-1,

garcia, drogba

 

[shrekiejai]

1-0 Chelsea (Gerrard og) ... then he heads off to the Blues...

No seriously, its gonna be 0 - 0...

Funny, "Carradonna" said the same thing:

Though im not sure it makes quite as much sense.

Anyway, i think this may be the lineup, since duffer and robben are out

---------Cech---------
-Geremi-JT-RC--Gallas-
-------Makelele-------
---Lampard--Tiago---
-Johnson---------Cole--
--------Guddy--------

In any event, i think Geremi will be back at RB, and Johnson will be slid up the right side, because the 4-4-2 diamond looked toothless against Bolton's defense. I doubt something similar will work against Liverpool

Anyway, 2-1 to the Blues, Cole, Kezman (sub), Baros
Of course, im hoping for the best, prepared for the worst. I just hope the winner, whoever it is, represents the Premiership well in Istanbul

 

[bingtin]

Based on form, I have to say Chelsea. In my heart, I hate both. I think the lack of Liverpool strikers will be the key here, with both Baros and Kewell still not at full fitness. 3-1 Chelsea, Lampard to score at least one.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Wow, this is such a tough match. Liverpool have been incredible in the CL, and being the "underdog" it would be no surprise to see them do something like what F.C. Porto did last year.

Personally I want to see Liverpool win. Something like 2-0 (Gerrard, Baros)

Good luck to both teams.

 

[vitu]

Chelsea Straight ahead like they did in the Carling Cup final..

Chelsea 2
Liverpool 0

Lampard, Carvalho

 

[ngyc]

come on liverpool. win CL this year and make 5 epl teams for next year epl

1-0 liverpool

luis garcia

 

[rony31]

Chelsea to win 1-0 or 2-1... Bridge or Duff to score the winning goal, whoever's playing

if neither are, then Robben

 

[JFG_Lancer]

Liverpool 1-0

Gerrard

 

[eskimo]

This game could go any way; I predict either a 6 to 8 goal match or a 0-0 draw.

Can't wait.

 

[KLINSMANN]

I think either 0-0.

If one team scores just one goal, then there will at least 4 goals in the game. It's gonna be a tie, 2-2 or something... Lampard (x2) and Gerrard (x2)

0-1 Lampard (41')
1-1 Gerrard (50')
2-1 Gerrard (56')
2-2 Lampard (79')

I want Liverpool to go through though, but I know it won't happen

 

[Kibe Kru]

1-0 Liverpool, Biscan with a diving header from the halfway line....
actually I guess Gerrard will score
