I am hoping for a solid 2-0 win. We can definitely hold Bayern scorless at Stamford Bridge. As for the second leg, i see a 1-1 tie. What we need to do today is come out the same way we did against Barca in the second leg. Given the fact that Bayern defense is better than Barca's, i don't see us scoring 3 goals in 20 minutes, but i do see us scoring in the first half. Come on Chelsea!

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Good luck guys.

[Bluto11]

should be a good one.


3-1 Chelsea

[Dear_Claudio]

Having my dad tape the game for me as I have track practise but I think we'll be ok. A win isn't as imperative as holding Bayern scoreless. I think 0-0 would be a better result that 2-1, 3-2, etc.

same here, taping the game. Now, i think a 2-1 is better than a 0-0 tie because it forces Bayern to score, thus giving us more chance to counter attack, which we do better than anyone else. If it's 0-0, then we also have to score to win, as if it's 2-1, we just have to hold them scorless.

[srd....]

well up for the match tonight.i'd go along with yasik on this one,2-0 for me :cool:

[blackjack]

69 Lizarazu

What kind of footballer wears number 69? Here's hoping Duffer or Cole makes him look like he hasn't had any since since 1998. :D

[yasik19]

Since both of their starting strikers are missing, we need to take advantage of that. I can't see Bayern attacking all that much, so they will be playing defensive football. We need to create as many chances as possible and not fall asleep in the back.
