Yes, he's a genius.
Which three or four clear chances? Barca had the possession but they couldn't make much more clear chances than Chelsea. Barca had two (Eto'o and Bojan), while Drogba missed Chelsea's clear chance. Ballack's header was close too.
Oh, don't tell me that Barca fans are moaning about that Henry incident. No way could it be a penalty. As for the Puyol's foul, the ref called for an offside which was a strange decision for the foul took place beforehand.
Oh and btw, screw the fair play when your
beautiful football isn't functioning

Well yeah, especially when the team they're playing is staying completely negative.
Of course Barcelona is going to have the lion's share of possession, the majority chances and a lot of "half chances". Chelsea conceded that fact from the start.
The issue is that Barca failed to put any of those chances away, at home. Now it's even and Chelsea will probably use a similar tactic, though I expect them to counter a lot more, with a home crowd.
I don't really think it matters whether Barcelona had ten chances or fifty when Chelsea practically conceded the pitch for the entire match. If anything it says a lot about Chelsea's defense.

You mean from his back, lying on the pitch? 
Maybe his unibrow was finally turning into a butterfly.
I dunno. When away goals count for a lot in this tournament, the big mistake from Chelsea, IMO, was not trying much at all to get on the board. With the next match at Stamford Bridge, they're going to have their away-goal worries big time. Barca isn't exactly the kind of squad where you want to put yourself in the position of defending the away goal.
