Great that we are in the lead, now we have to play a very tactical second half and also control the midfield by avoiding thier fast breaks. we also have to watch out for thier top scorer this season f- baiano who is thier main attacking threat. a second goal will kill the game. great work Eto`o
We lose a lot of arrival down the right flank without Belletti and a liability on D.At least Belletti can catch up with his speed.Cole or Robben are gonna do what they feel like it with oleguer.
They even get us when its not even a counter,the midfield isnt agressive enough..we let them get to our box too loose and against a chelsea we cant allow that.
true i think a fully fit robben will kill us unless Oleguer realy really bring an A++++ game. so pacy and tricky, we will have to watch out for Robben indeed.
we need more defensive solidity in midfield especially in a game like this when we are in a lead and the opponents are trying to equalize. We also need a hard tackler to win more balls. may be Gabri would have come on for Iniesta at this stage but he is out of this one.
Great lead, 2-0 is a difficult situation for them to come back . Eto`o looks unstoppable as he seeks to become the league top marksman.
If we were as agressive in midfield as chelsea wed be unstoppable.We need an essien type of player to have a solid midfield.
surely impressive stats and ratio. i think he is nearing 40 plus goals for us in only 2 seasons . real madrid must be kicking thier heels as to why they let him go. i hope he plays back and forth as regards the African Nations cup
We have won a club record number of games in a row...how much more unstoppable do we have to be before you're happy? I'm glad we don't play like Chelsea. If we played more like chelsea, our midfield would get sent off in its entirety in every game we played domestically. Essien would be alternately suspended and sent off in Spain (well, he is in England, and they let a lot more go in the EPL), and I'm glad we don't have that butcher in our team. What we need to be more solid in the midfield is our players to be healthy. We're missing a starter and his replacement. We'll be better when Van Bommel gets back, and better still next season with Xavi back in the team.
I see Atl-madrid beating Osasuna. At least they will battle them to the very end. Torres and petrov have to be at thier best.
Tactically we are controlling play, let them attack us and may be we can give them a doseof thier counter attacking medicine.
Guily has to keep working harder to rediscover his former best. we hope to see that after the winter break.
I hope giuly doesnt play vs chelsea cuz this guy cant hit the ocean.Chelsea wont allow us a lot of chances and if this guy plays he will miss a lot.
Guily has to keep working harder to improve. Great win and we now hope that real madrid and osasuna drop points.
