Very hard match. A 2-1 would be good.

by Shed Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:43 pm

Oh great. The black kits. We're done for.

I don't even on this XI......

I did say in the Sunderland match thread ramires would play on the wing in this game though Laughing

I was so pumped for this game until I saw the line-up. How are we supposed to score? Let's just hope we manage to keep a cleansheet for 50/60 minutes when Mou will sub Hazard and Oscar/Schuerrle

Come on blues!

HT: 0-0

Horrendous match to watch but so far so good...

by Shed Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:08 pm

Turan on...

by Shed Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:12 pm

Lampard yellow. Misses next match.

by Shed Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:19 pm

JT down injured now. Huge blow.

by Shed Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:23 pm

And now Mikel yellow carded and also misses the second leg.

Will we even have a central midfield to field next week?

by fatman123 Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:24 pm

Ramires can even cock up being in the wall at a fk Laughing

by Shed Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:32 pm

Torres....

by Shed Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:44 pm

FT: Atletico 0-0 Chelsea

That'll do nicely.

by Katy Perry Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:47 pm

We survived cheers

by Kick Tue Apr 22, 2014 11:03 pm

Good result for us. Shame about the injuries though.

by Nedved Tue Apr 22, 2014 11:54 pm

I think Chelsea dented AMs confidence as not scoring at home is bad, even if you don't win. Well poised for the second leg now... Eto will play Smile

Just my two cents on the match

I won't say I'm against parking the bus, but I prefer it when we actually have a lead to defend but I guess you can't complain about an away draw in a UCL semifinal. I can see why we played that way, I mean, they've just knocked out Barca, they destroyed Milan and whoever they faced in the group stages, they're first in La Liga having the least goals conceded, while we've been struggling to score against the likes of Swansea, Sunderland, Villa, etc. I don't think that we would have scored with any other approach, I mean, even Barca with the most attacking approach and the best attacking players in the world failed to do so.

This result still leaves them with 2 results out of 3 (it won't be another 0-0 imo) but a CFC win at the Stamford Bridge is the most likely of the 3 so I'm moderately confident about going into the CL final.
