It seems to me that Pep G is having a bit of a laugh at the moment regarding his team selection... there is nobody in the team who is 6ft or more! Chelsea could have a field day from set plays... I think their manager is totally over-rated. Look what happened to Frank Rijkaard when he left Barcelona - dropped like a stone into oblivion. Guardiola has never managed at any other club and I reckon the minute he does, he will be found wanting.
What they lack in height, they make up for in technical ability. I pity Chelsea on tuesday, Barca have lost 2 in a row, that rarely happens, so they'll be out for vengeance.
Or they finally look fallable so CFC will take heart and win As for the OP, Barca dont need height. In fact they use the oppositions height to fall over hence break up play and retain possession
I assume Chelsea will go to the Camp Nou and just try and park the bus for 90 minutes. I don't see it working, you've got 85000 Barca fans, plus UEFA officials hell bent on guaranteeing an El Classico CL final. Good luck to them though.
Busquets and I think Valdes are both 6 footers ? Pique too, although injured atm. Regarding the CL 2nd leg, ordinarily I would expect Barca to win by some margin, but Barca have struggled (by there standards) in the last few games and Chelsea could still afford to go 2-0 down, yet still only need a goal to qualify. It could still go either way, given Barca are stuttering of late and even Messi hasn't scored in the last two games ! Am sure the bookies have Barca to qualify, given home advantage (with that huge pitch) but if Chelsea get the away goal, who knows ? Am looking forward to both semi finals !
THIS is more like GC ! - It's amazing what 3 points can do for you. joker - are you on sedatives ? - you really have become limp wristed in your retorts these days.
As good as they are, I'm pleased that Barcelona aren't beating everyone this season. And I'm hopeful that Chelski will knock them out tomorrow night as well.
They'll dig in and get bodies in the way, of course, just like they did against you lot at the Emirates. Meanwhile, they'll try and drop one out of the sky over Drogba's shoulder, then who knows? With an away goal, Barca have to score 3. Chelsea can win this, and for that matter so can Bayern Munich.
Quite simply no they're not too small. They are too ****ing good though. Something should be done about that.
Barca look like a spent force just now. The team of last season would've spanked Chelsea and Real. I think that they are suffering from too many games over the past 4/5 years. Xavi looks fked, Iniesta looks fked and if Messi's form dips then they're fked. A Chelsea v Munich final would be ideal now.
I'm not against it. I do think questions would need answered if we go down that route though. Maybe a more stealth like approach is needed. I was thinking more along the lines of spiking drinks/water bottles so they all get a doping ban. I bet they do a great performance of Snow White at Christmas with all these dwarves kicking about. All the dwarves are really good actors too.
Limp wristed? ...no, it's more that I couldn't care less what that ******ed ***** thinks. That said, if you question me again, I will find and kill every member of your family <isthatbetter?>
