UEFA Champions League

[Palgi]

I was surprised with results from Manchester teams 

[Adi]

Told ya'll Napoli would probably go through ahead of Man City.  But it's City's year, right?!  Not!

Manchester could be in some trouble now.  The game in Basel won't be a stroll through the park.  Hope they get knocked out.

Chelsea lost to Leverkusen as well!  Now Chelsea has to take points of Valencia to go through.

LOVE IT!!! Last matchday will be good!

[jabarinho]

alright adi i will give you credit here. Since before matchday 1 you predicted napoli do better than city

but i have to say mancini got his tactics and team selection all wrong yesterday. Dropping in-form micah richards to play old man zabaleta at right back. And he plays milner in the #10 playmaker position with balotelli on the freaking left wing.

anyway credit to napoli. Lavezzi is machine he ran 90 miles/hr for 90 mins! And cavani needs only a half-chance to score.

Zenit 0:0 APOEL

Milan 2:3 Barcelona

I hate those punks from Barca. And the judge. Milan was 10 times better.

[Adi]

That's a strange line up indeed.  Sometimes it's a problem to have too many options.  It makes you do senseless things just to keep everyone happy and playing.  It seems he forced a few players into odd positions in order to give them playing time.

Lavezzi, Hamsik, Cavani are top players.  Glad to see Napoli doing well.

Chelsea raped, Barca raped with C-squad i heard, what matches did you guys watch?

[Marko]

Yes, Barca C team, only Pedro and Maxwell are A squad.
I watched Chelsea game, a bit.

[jabarinho]

well i disagree, chelsea did not rape. Valencia had 70 percent possesion but chelsea defended very well and then drogba killed them on the counter-attack.

Chelsea have no creativity and mata still looks average. I just say it as i see it. Im not a hater, i promise

Dortmund 4th place? What happened?!

[Palgi]

well i disagree, chelsea did not rape. Valencia had 70 percent possesion but chelsea defended very well and then drogba killed them on the counter-attack.

Did you watch the game? The game was total rape... What the fuck does it matter if you hold the ball 70 percent of the time, if it's on your side of the pitch. I can't remember single well played attack from Valencia. And I don't even want to start talking how Valencia defended against Chelsea... Seemed that Valencias defenders were playing they're first game of football ever.

Possession is bullshit if you posses the ball in the wrong place. Chelsea was overwhelming as a whole compared to Valencia.
