UEFA Champions League/Europa League 24/25/26 April *** Spoilers ***
- Thread starter Cosimo
- Start date
lol
Ah okay;
--------------Cech--------------
Bosingwa--Luiz--Cahill--Cole
--------------Essien--------------
--------Mata------Lampard----
Sturridge---Drogba---Malouda
Yeah not so good
Even that assumes that both Luiz and Cahill are fit. Cahill looked like he pulled something and Luiz looked in a pretty bad way when he came off last week (no idea when he'll be back) and the final's only 3 1/2 weeks away.
Naturally I wouldn't fancy them against RM or Bayern but they've proven everyone wrong tonight.

Bayern have about 6 or 7 players on a yellow tomorrow don't they?

Bertrand--Essien--Bosingwa--Cole
--------------Romeu--------------
--------Mata------Lampard----
Sturridge---Torres---Drogba
Yeah not so good
Think that is how it would have to go if Luiz/Cahill aren't fit, which looks, dodgy to say the least. Romeu looked good earlier in the season, definitely promising but has barely played recently and looked no where near his best.
Torres is a bigger threat than Malouda, who is a lazy, selfish, moronic idiot, Malouda is god awful defensively, so Drogba holding up the ball and also having the ability to win it and play it on for Torres seems the smartest move all around.
They could put in Ferreira at right back and try Bertrand in midfield as a somewhat defensive midfielder with a bit of pace and attacking ability, and play Mata over on the right instead of Sturridge who, like Malouda isn't good defensively, is selfish and has had more poor performances than good this season.
Its a very thin squad, Luiz, Cahill or both being fit for the final will make a monumental difference for them.

I feel really sorry for Ivanovic, he looks really upset here.
Geoff Shreeves, you're a ****!

After the performances we've put in I think that we won’t be too bothered about who it is and of course they won't be relishing the prospect having to play us. With a one-off game we’ve got as good a chance of winning it as they will have. Bring it on.
Whatever happened to that Serbian woman? Every player getting injured was going over to see her the other season (there was even talk that we tried to hire her) but now she's vanished.
Shreeves has always been a massive ****. I love it when the football ramble slate him.

Indeed. You only have to look at their scoring stats this season to see that the spread is waaaaay out of wack compared to the previous couple of years when their front three had a truly crazy amount of goals each. It's all Messi this season, then I think Fabregas and Xavi are the next highest with under 15 each.
Pep's turning into tinkerman?
I know Villa has been out for most of the season but the shape's different now (as DM said in an earlier post)... I'd be interested to see Xavi's assist rate compared to last year, for example.
The kids they have seem like mini-Pedros rather than Xavi/Iniesta types, and when I see Sanchez play I feel like there's something sort of un-Barcery about him.

I'd give them a good chance against Bayern, not sure about Real. Has Mourinho faced Chelsea since leaving?
Edit: actually, I remember he did at Inter in the last 16/quarter finals.
