Barca with Bale in the future?? Not specifically, but conceptually. Those who were at the Nextgen home game last yr saw that very scary possibility with their team.
A Torres shot from the edge of the box goes out for a throw-in... I think. It might have gone over the stand though... 1-0 Basel!! Salah again. Looks like a quality player.
As I said .No trouble for Chelsea.They want to win it.Spurs were obviously using the Europa as a reserve league. You get what you deserve!
I disagree. I think we went for it and did a good job. I also think Basel played a lot better against us over the 2 legs than they did against Chelsea!
I disagree. The difference was experience and tactics. Spurs are less experienced in Europe than Chelsea so I feel it would have been better if you'd had the 1st leg away and 2nd leg at home. Chelsea kept the ball a lot better and kept their attacking threat to a minimum. Spurs (Parker in particular) kept on giving the ball away and allowing Basel to break. If Basel had been anywhere near as clinical as they were at the Bridge tonight I think you'd have lost the home leg. I disagree with BS9 though. I thought you took the Europa League seriously and would still have possibly gone through had Bale been fit for the 2nd leg, at 0-2 down in the home leg most teams would have caved, showed a lot of character to come back and make it 2-2.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but if you're implying that cost = value, the that does not necessarily follow.
couldn't have played better than us,or they would have won over two leg's not drawn.they took penalty's better than us,that's all
Well it's a good job that football isn't quite that simple, and this basic theory doesn't determine everything. Otherwise, that means Arsenal probably the best side in Europe, as they beat Bayern 2-0. - Christ, in that case, how many goals would Arsenal put past Barca?
