Ugly football as usual from renties

by RED Tue Apr 22, 2014 8:48 pm

I feel nauseous .lol. not even sure I want to watch the 2nd half.

by RedOranje Tue Apr 22, 2014 8:50 pm

It would be nice if Atleti could get a couple of goals in the second half to put pressure on Chelsea for the home match and force them to make a decision on priorities. A 3-1 scoreline (to Atleti) would be just about perfect in terms of giving Chelsea hope but making it an uphill challenge. From what coverage I've read so far though that doesn't seem likely.

Ramirez is due a red card .

by Hapless_Hans Tue Apr 22, 2014 8:53 pm

doesn't seem likely anything resembling a goal, or a goal scoring opportunity could happen in this match.

Pretty dreary stuff.

Mou just following the tried and tested Di Matteo formula.

This game just doesn't feel like it's a semi-final. Atletico should really take whatever chance they will have in the 2nd half to put some pressure on to Chelsea to open up the game.

I don't get why Chelsea are playing so blatantly for the 0-0 though. If Atleti score at Boredom Bridge (1 set piece is enough), Chelsea need 2.

Lol, both teams are playing ugly boring game, though Chelsea are truly embracing the shit on a stick style! :facepalm:

Looks like I didn't miss much when I spent the first HT to watch GoT 4x03 instead. ^^

by Doc Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:12 pm

Personally, I would have liked Atletico to be taking long range shots because crossing just isn't working at the moment...

by 1991 Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:12 pm

Moyes found a new job that quickly? Cross, cross, cross, cross, cross, cross. Etc. Clearly one of the most ineffective tactics you could use against Chelsea.

That's what I thought. Seems like a blunder to me.
Chelsea will have to score at home which plays into Atletico's plan.
They're going to outpark them Very Happy

Cech has been taken to the CEMTRO Clinic where it's been confirmed he has a dislocated shoulder.

by Hapless_Hans Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:20 pm

with all the fuzz about Courtois Atletico should've just played without a goalkeeper. It's not like they need one. hmm

Really dull football from both teams .. I just let the wife change the channel to watch the chase ... and it aint even her birthday ???

by Robespierre Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:27 pm

because it's better a tie than recuperating a loss.
And if Chelsea tries to attack seriously, considering the absences of Hazard and Eto'o ( 80& of offensive Chelsea potential) and now even Terry and Cech ... it loses.
0-0 would be a golden result considering the conditions today
RIP sree999 I hope you haven't destroyed the tv after this match Proud

Seeing Chelsea's attractive physio is the only highlight of this match.

by Art Morte Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:30 pm

So, Mikel and Lampard are suspended from the 2nd leg and Matic is ineligible. Chelsea running short of CMs.

I'm probably being too critical, but I think she's past her best years.

We prolly have different taste in women then. I think she's attractive.

Far more attractive than this t*rd of a match that's for sure.
