The burden of expectation as we carry the nations hopes towards another European climax. Can we dig it? Yes we can
Yep when your backs are against the wall and you need someone to do some last ditch defending for 90 minutes, he's your man. I know ITV made that performance sound heroic, but don't believe the hype. You needed the away goal. You'll be lucky to keep AM from scoring for 180 mins. Chelsea on the other hand showed nothing to suggest they can score. Advantage AM all the way I'm afraid.
0-0, definitely take it but would've been much better to nab an away goal. Luiz was abysmal tonight btw.
I do agree but I think with Hazard hopefully back and hopefully Eto'o too we have a better chance of scoring, especially at home.
Yeh fair point Drogs. Maybe I'm more annoyed by ITV's commentary than Chelsea's performance. This is the type of tie where Drogba provided some outlet and back in the day the likes of Lampard, Essien and Joe Cole would know exactly how to provide that. Hazard, Ramires, Oscar will need to do that for Etoo next week.
"It's very difficult to play a football match when only one team wants to play." "A football match its about two teams playing" "This is football from the19th century" Jose Mourinho 29/01/14 0-0 vs West Ham. Cough......
Jesus what game were you watching, the whole team was immense!! only three sides have stopped A Madrid from scoring at home this season, the other two are real and barca! ffs its bad enough having flith from other teams slagging off our players without our own slagging them off any chance they can get!
When west hame are playing a first leg of a Champions league game , then they can play defensive, lets see whose laughing when they come to the bridge!
It was , we were away to a team all were saying was going to beat us and if not for us the premiwer league would be down to 3 positions in the champions league, you should bend down and kiss our feet you ungratefull ****ers!
I think you'll go through, At Mad had no cutting edge at all. Hope we give you a better test on Sunday Your last corner just over 95 mins gone I thought you were going to score. You miss Ivanovic at the back and in set pieces. Has a good shot on him as well Is he missing this weekend? Is he injured?
I was watching Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea, and I'll say what I like thanks very much. He was ****, is **** and will always be ****. Fair play to him for the dangerous shove on the Atleti player which caused Cech's injury too. Utter liability.
He probably picked his side including mikel based heavily on the game against Liverpool. Play for a 0-0 and then see how Sunday goes before going all out in the 2nd leg. I think your best bet is the CL now rather than the PL but I think his approach over these 3 games is a man hedging his bets and not yet sure which he'll achieve if any.
Injured Cech and Terry. But did not think he was as bad as first leg in Paris when he created two goals for PSG. He just injured our two most important players! He had a great second half in the second leg v PSG so let's give him (yet) another chance
Won't blame him for Terry, wasn't his fault at all but the guy is absolutely terrible. Imagine if we conceded a penalty AND injured Cech through his ****ing petulance? I really do not get how anyone can possibly rate him, he is the Torres of our defence.
The only disappointment I have tonight are Petr and JT's injuries! It would have been great to bang in a goal, but I think Madrid will be more upset with the result than we are! COYB!
****ing awful game for the neutral, not really Chelsea's problem though. Could go ever way, I reckon you will take it 2-1.
Bad news about Cech and Terry; well done on the result, though. I wish your players a speedy recovery, and hope you win your home leg in the CL. Still want you to lose on Sunday, BTW!
