** Uefa Champions League, Semi-final ** *spoilers*

Says it all really. ;)

Why ?

Pundits aren't always right.

John Mot said that "Keane is the best player in the world"

Just because Andy Gray says Lampard is a good player doesn't mean its written in stone.

There are far better midfielders in the world.
I know it's hard to admit if you're a member of the Russian mafia :p

I don't like admiting that there are better center backs then Mark Beevers :(
 
I'm not sure if I want Silvestre or Gibbs. Silvestre has been pretty terrible, but that was in the middle, where he won't be tonight, and it's not like Gibbs has been Mr. Reliable, other than his surprising knack for hacking goal-bound balls off the line. I'd almost be tempted to think Sagna on the left with Eboue right might be our best option.

I want Silvestre ! He gets my vote ;)
 
What on earth are you on about hes been just as good, if not better than Gerrard this year.....as usual....:rolleyes:

... :rolleyes:

No he's not :p

I don't think Lampard is this amazing brilliant best midfielder ever that you guys seem to think he is.

I've said that this season, Gerrard has played less and scored more, and created 3. Yes all of 3 less assists.

I do not think Lampard is a great player. He's a good player :p

Honestly trying to tell me Lampard would be in a World 11 ? :rolleyes:
 
Teams going up on the front page.

Going to go get "in the zone"

I think Fergie has got this spot on :D

Will see you all after the game :o

Dead nervus :(
 
I'm glad your keeping that first post updated Tummy, I always love to take a step back and re-read the first post every now and then ;)

hahaha !

okay okay !

Next thread would you like me to update the teams in the thread ? and the first post ?

TELL ME WHAT TO DO :)

I'm doing this for the people :cool:
 
Evening Sports Forum ;)

Manchester United look comfortable, played well, much improvement over recent games.
Rooney and Tevez and Ronaldo really tested the Arsenal back four with their movement.

Arsenal, can't understand why they lined up 4 5 1, They're more then good enough to give us a game of football where ever we play. They didn't offer much, passed the ball really well when they got it however. The lack of an away goal might come back and sting them.

United could have won by 3-4 and really taken advantage. Arsenal again might regret the lack of an away goal.

Ref was good, Giggs was offside as much as I wanted him to be onside :(
 
Agree !

Can't stand how the pundits stuck up for Chelski's "not attacking" football.

I personally think that Chelski had to try for an away goal, they had to try and get the ball and pass (which they can do) not just hoof the ball up front, giving it back to Barca and go back to defending.

They played a 4 6 kind of formation :(
 
To be fair, Chelsea did a good job last night.

It was incredibly boring though.

But to take a 0-0 from the Nou Camp back to Stamford Bridge is great for them.

Why ?

All it showed is that Chelsea can't afford to give any space to Barca ?

Mono brow did well against Messi ! :)

Chelski will have to attack, not sure how they'll manage this based on the other night :D haha

But they leave themselves really open, Barca will score if you give them space. Then Chelski have to score twice ;)

Barca v United final :o
 
They are now at home. You can't underestimate that advantage.

They went to one of the hardest places to play football and come out of it with dignity left in tact. The did just that.

And now, unscathed, look forward to bringing them back to London.

Any fan who appreciates more than just ultra attack would agree. Chelsea kept out a very good Barca side.

Yeah they did well to keep a clean sheet, but I don't like to see teams play Anti football, which is what Chelski did, they made no effort to attack, now yes I understand that it is hard to get the ball against Barca and pass and attack, but they didn't even try, lost a lot of respect for the manager and Chelski last night.

There is defensive and then there is anti football.
Barca will be much happier going into the game at Chelski.

Yeah, at home will give Chelski an abuse, but do you think Barca are going to turn up and defend ? or try and play anti football. They will really go for Chelski, they only have to score once. :)

:o

United V Barca final !
Why is it still in Rome ? they keep stabbing people !
 
He did that a lot at Spurs.

But of course when you're tagged with a characteristic by the media, that's all the fans see.

:confused:

Berba just hasn't cut it as a forward for me personally, he's has being much better recently.

I thought he had a really good connection with Keane at Spurs.
I didn't see him defending much, but you're the Spurs fan.
 
Could Clichy have done any more than Gibbs did?

I thought Gibbs put in a performance beyond his years.

He was badddd :p

Got circles ran round him in the first half, second half was much improved.

Got forward a few times.
 
I think me and you should maybe start ignoring each others posts ;)

he's what 19? Playing in a champions league semi final and had Rolando and Rooney to deal with? The whole of the arsenal defense looked pretty shaky in the first half.

:D

I love you Gistov really :p I just like taking the opposite view point ;)

As I said, he looked shakey and very average in the first half.
I also said he was much imporved in the second half and got forward a lot more ;)

I don't think he was the worst player on the pitch.

Also can anyone else explain to me why Tevez got booked? It looked like a 50-50 ball that he had every right to go for and even pulled out as best he could.

Didn't understand what that was for personally, he pulled out of the way and they weren't hurt.
A ball like that is 50/50 Tevez had every right to go for it.
 
I thought Gibbs was quite good. Walcott and Nasri were useless however, Nasri in particular I barely saw. Felt sorry for Adebayor, every time he won a header it just went straight to a United player because there was no team mate anywhere near him.

Yeah, the two players who didn't turn up.
Adebayor was bad, but a lack of service made him bad.

I still thought Franny Fabby, looked very good, he very rarely dissapoints me.
 
He had boiling water poored on him as a child !

I thought Fab passed and made space fairly well in the second half, as well as the other midfielders.
