Did you see Cole over the 2 legs against Barca? Did you see him especially in the 2nd leg?

He even played CB when Terry got a red card. Why do you think the right wing was ineffective for Barca?

I'm guessing you just didn't notice Cole.

GO BAYERN!!

Now that it isn't a RM- Chelsea final I can watch it. I shudder at the thought of an RM - Chelsea final. My absolute worst nightmare.

Bayern - I love you guys for taking out Madrid, take out Chelsea and restore my faith in humanity and football :bow:

This is going to be a close close match and I honestly don't know what to predict! I am going for it though, call me crazy

Chelsea 2-1
Torres scores winning goal smoking

by Sushi Master Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 5:21

The Euro goal against Germany... alright, he was in form back then.

WC2010 final? Guys, he went on in extra time after being benched by Pedro Laughing

Cole is a good defender, but when he decides to push forwards all hell breaks lose. Also, Bayern's wingers are infinitely better than Barcelona's current form ones.

Made the cross that inadvertently led to the goal to be fair.

by Sushi Master Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 5:24

You must be frakking kidding me. That was all Fabregas.

by Le Samourai Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 5:29

I'd say the genius who headed it straight to Fabregas gets the bulk of the credit Smile

Apart from theat it wasa team goal with contributions from Jesus Navas , Torres and moreso from Fabregas and most importantly from iniesta Smile

by Sushi Master Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 5:35

Yeah, pretty much.

I forget Torres is a GOAT now that he slayed Barcelona. All his open net misses have been redeemed :bow:

by Albiceleste Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 5:37

I want to see Bayern lifting that trophy.

by Le Samourai Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 5:38

I can't speak on behalf of Chelsea fans but whatever open nets he may have missed were reddemed about 3 years and 10 months ago for me.

He has been GOAT ever since :bow:

God, Schweini is such a sexy beast for such an ugly mofo. Heart

by ioilersrock448 Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 6:11

I fear Torres. I also fear having to eat my words I've said to my friends about Chelsea never being able to win the CL..

by iNFINITY9910 Thu 26 Apr 2012 - 7:22

We shall see, we have some time left till the finals.

Just a question though, if u think that Cole is having a bad form or facing easy opponents, who is ur best left back currently?

Chelsea 2-1. Predicting a late winner.

I don't know about Sushi Master, but I didn't notice Cole. He must have been standing in the middle of the blue flash mob assembled in the box.

As for him playing CB... Everyone but Torres and Drogba played CB at that point. Those two were playing RB and LB respectively. To use a basketball analogy, they were using a "box and one" zone defense. They put everyone in two lines inside the box, and put the remaining forward on the ball. I guess Di Matteo is an NBA fan.

Speaking of Torres, he's really had one good final, and it came 3 years ago. Moreover, I'd be a little worried for Chelsea if they played him over Drogba after the performances Drogba has put in. That would be reminiscent of the decision making under AVB. (Bosingwa over Cole, anyone?)

(BTW, don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to hate on Chelsea's effort in the semi-final. They did exceptionally well, especially considering the amount of time they played with ten men. That said, no one can argue that they didn't set up to defend from the start of the tie.)

Doesn't matter if Bayern are playing at home, both clubs will have equal sets of supporters at the stadium. Both clubs will be missing players.

The way luck was with Chelsea against Barca lets me know this is Chelsea's year.

I think Chelsea will win. I just hope it's as great of a match as both semi finals were.

I said IF

also fixtures dont matter at this stage its about form, confidence and momentum and we currently have it.

I still dont think we will get it, but i will be very very depressed if we do and you win the final Sad

Lahm is a natural RB. I'm asking about the left back, like natural position.

by Sushi Master Fri 27 Apr 2012 - 1:05

I'd personally play Contento, but the strongest lineup is putting both Rafinha and Lahm in.

I'd rather play Rafinha off position than Lahm off position, though. He's too godly down the right.

I somehow think this could be van buyten's occasion. I thought i'd never say this for anything that is not Wrestlemania

by DeviAngel Fri 27 Apr 2012 - 6:00

I see Chelsea winning it ever since the first leg against Barcelona I called my friend saying they have luck on their side they'll win so I stay by what I said. GL chelsea u r my favorites sorry BM
