I think that Juventus has the right style to defeat Chelsea. And Capello is checking very cautiosly the videos of Chelsea to prepare the right tactics to win against them....

EPL is something different
CL is a matter of to be or not to be and thats why i dont expect any team to rise the white flag before fighting till the very last seconds

I am not putting my hopes up too high for Liverpool and definitely not thinking of Chelsea at the moment. I just hope Capello will know how to deal with Pool as I know it is a more difficult task than Madrid

There is only one person in my opinion who can stop Juve progressing to the next round and that is Xabi Alonso. No other Liverpool player in my eyes would improve Juve, except Riise for Zebina of course. Anyone tell me what Steven Gerrard did to Juve? He will do nothing again.

No it is not that bad, recovring from a 2-1 away game with Pool is much easier than 1-0 with Madrid....
On paper it looks easier but compare the mentality of the 2 teams (Madrid and Liverpool) The latter play as a team, total football that is






Welcome to the forums Intro, I hope you enjoy your stay...looking forward to your posts

If we play it the way we did in 2nd half or like we played the return match against Madrid then our position in last four is reserved....

I trust Capello in big times, and I hope he makes the right decisions....

Now you are hoping that he makes the right decisions, a few posts earlier you were sure....Did he make the right decisions in the first game? NO

As my friend Intro says, How was Capello in Europe when he coached Roma?

Was it good in the first game against Madrid? Was it good in the first game against Pool?

Was it good against several teams in the Calcio, so he can make wrong decisions, let us not be so sure we are gonna go past Liverpool

Before all the talk about Capello you have to consider the opposition. The fact is liverpool are weak. Forget the 1st match, Juve were poor and Capello can be blamed but i don't think Liverpool were good. Like Chelsea last night it was long-balls and opportunist play something Ancelotti realised when playing Man Utd.

In EPL Liverpool are a poor side look at their away statistics:
Away record P15:W4-D4-L7 F:19 A:20 GD:-1 PTS:16 League Rank:11

Tottenham 1 1 Liverpool
Bolton 1 0 Liverpool
Man Utd 2 1 Liverpool
Chelsea 1 0 Liverpool
Fulham 2 4 Liverpool
Blackburn 2 2 Liverpool
Middlesbrough 2 0 Liverpool
Aston Villa 1 1 Liverpool
Everton 1 0 Liverpool
West Brom 0 5 Liverpool
Norwich 1 2 Liverpool
Southampton 2 0 Liverpool
Charlton 1 2 Liverpool
Birmingham 2 0 Liverpool
Newcastle 1 0 Liverpool

If Liverpool had Cisse, Morientes, Kewell, Alonso all fit then it could be a close match-up. But the reality is they have Carragher, Hyypia and Troare in defence with a very dodgy GK. I'm sure at the Del Alpi Juve's offence will penetrate them. I don't think we even need to talk about personnel combinations and strategies. The class difference is just too big.
