Take the red tinted glasses off and view the game properly...yes in the first half we should have been 3 nil up hadnt it been for some brilliance from cech and some lack of concentration from tevez.However you cant take away the fact that the post saved us TWICE not the goalie but the post..and to say chelsea always look better in a cagey match im sorry mate but what are you trying to say?Chelsea played well as well..they got in by a lucky goal but didnt they deserve it?
The post "saved us"? Wtf are you talking about? That makes no sense. It implies that if the post hadn't been there they would have been goals. But if the post hadn't been there the shots would have clean missed. They were shots that were off target, simples. Chelsea players missed the goal with both shots, just like they missed with their other 16 speculative long shots...
And no, I don't think Chelsea did deserve their goal. It was a speculative long shot that deflected twice and wrong footed our keeper. Up until that point they had done virtually nothing in the game - the only save VDS had to make was from Rio's misheader! In fact, I cannot think of a single time in that game when Chelsea genuinely opened our defence up and caused us problems.
All that doesnt matter tho...we were lucky because had terry not slipped we would have most likely lost the game..the slip didnt really have anything to do with confidence..it was raining down buckets and fortunately he slipped and we won.Yes we deserved it if you look at the whole game but the point is we were lucky wether we deserved it or not...
It wasn't fortunate, it wasn't confidence, it was poor penalty technique. Everyone who has ever taken a penalty knows that the single most important thing to do is plant your standing foot firmly. Nine other players planted their standing foot firmly in the rain before Terry slipped, and four other players planted their standing feet firmly after he slipped. Terry missed the goal from 12 yards out, it is that simple.
And you again conveniently ignore that had VDS not slipped in the first half, we would have won the game within the 90 minutes. So the Terry slip doesn't matter, cos if Chelsea hadn't been lucky they would have lost the game outright.
yes but those shots beat the goalie and had it been an inch this way or that then it wouldve been a goal....but my point is chelsea had really good chances as well..
If, if, if. If Giggs or Carrick had shot an inch higher we would have had three more goals. If Essien's shot had deflected 1 inch differently off Vidic then Chelsea wouldn't have scored. If John Terry could stand firmly on one leg like 13 other players managed to, he might have scored as well.
And no, if it had been an inch this was or that it wouldn't have been a goal. If it had been an inch one way it would have been a goal, if it had been an inch the other it would have been a straight miss. Again, like the other 17.
Yes Chelsea had two semi decent chances, but United had better chances, played better, dominated more of the game, and deserved to win.
and had he not slipped it was more likely that he would have scored..hence giving them the CL title.Now had they won it that day you would have said they were lucky as well...listen im happy we won it in 2008 and that we have got to 2 finals after that but my point is we should not have been humiliated the way we have been by barca..not once but twice.
