what has happened Riise? He used to be good and now Aurelio is keeping him out of the team!

Aurelio is much better than Riise in my eyes. The former is calmer, good at defending as well as attacking; both his long passes and shots are accurate.

but yea that is probably the worst i have seen Chelsea play in a long time.

Alonso back to some kind of form though. Torres was poor, he looked a bit ill. Squirtle probably man of the match.

Martin is coming along. I think Xabi's long balls can be the difference at the bridge. The only question is who is going to play left back if Aurelio is out.

Enron.. I think I just have as much right as you do to express my jokes.. you dont have to laugh as it wasnt directed to u.. anyhow.. end of convo!!

There are no rights! End of convo!

Probably Arbeloa, and Finnan RB.

Unless Finnan is injured/suspended or something i cant remember.

Chelsea missed Essien really badly aswell tonight.

Well, ''a semifinal of the finest club tournament" shouldn't necessarily be a fantastic one. We've watched Juve - Milan in the final of such tournament as well and that match was "depressing" too. If playing a beautiful game had mattered, Arsenal, Roma or Barca should have won the CL more than the other clubs.

Yeah, but Juve and Milan did show some brilliant football in previous rounds at least... these two English teams however are always an effective cure for insomnia.

Finnan is injured. So insert Hyppia and toss Arbeloa to the left.

Can someone please define what constitutes a "snore fest" for me because for some crazy reason I didn't find this game to be such a "snore fest" and neither did anyone I watched it with.

The game was all about Alonso hoofing long balls from one side of the pitch, and makelele hoofing it back from the other side.

Oh yeah, Carra has played RB lately hasnt he

"The second luckiest team in the world ran into the luckiest one. Bad luck."

That's very true

That's very true

It was a matter of time. We can't be lucky every time.

Way to neg rep me on a Juventus forum for disliking another team btw

I'm allowed a moment of immaturity every once in a while. And if it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure I got everyone else too.

Errr, i'm not a fan of Mascherano (i can't stand his face for some reason) but i though he was great tonight.
For almost 80 minutes Chelsea players couldn't make 2 passes. Of course, the whole Liverpool team gets the credit for the brilliant defense that started in Chelsea's box already, but Mascherano is the one who led the defense from the midfield.

I think your mistake is that you expected Mascherano to create Pool's game. He's just a destroyer, he doesn't do the creative job.

perhaps i'm just spoiled with sissokos physical presence on the pitch ...

could hardly spot mascherano

only time he caught my i was when he gave that freekick away near the end of the game . . .

watched only the second half though .. perhaps he was better in the first

It's ok.

So you missed him putting moves on the entire Chelsea team only to be rocked by Terry in injury time. That was a pretty sweet run.

You never spot Mascherano, you don't need to.

You also never spot Gerrard, in a non-positive way.
