Barca/Chelsea

[MCB]

what is the consensus here? does chelsea play that bs style like they did last time out hoping to win on shootout?

What exactly is the scenario for chelsea to advance? I'm presuming since they tied 0-0 last time unless someone wins outright they go to a shootout.

Barcelona advances in a 1-0 game. Team is dinged up but still superior to Chelsea.....

Chelsea will have to come to play.

If Barcelona scores one goal, Chelsea HAVE to score two as a 1-1 tie is a loss for the home side.

what about the O/U 2.5

I'd hate to say it but, put money on Chelsea. On set pieces Chelsea will score. No Puyol, Marquez and Henry. I can see a lot of goals being scored too because the pitch at Stamford Bridge will allow Chelsea to open up and not play like pussies.

Let me make it easy.
I hope i don't jinx this (i always do when i post plays) but if EITHER team manages to score, expect to see MANY goals (they are both playing for a spot in the finals, so as soon as someone breaks the ice, the other team will go full attack to recoup for that goal let in).

If the scoreline on aggregate is level after both games the team with the most away goals advances. In other words Chelsea must win. Any draw (except 0-0) will have Barcelona advancing.

If Chelsea start with Anelka and Drogba (as they did this past weekend with good results) I will definitely play the Over. However I doubt Chelsea will employ this tactic as I expect a more cautious approach. But who knows.

Did Barca confirm Henry is not playing?

yes, henry not even dressed

No Henry and Iniesta pushed up to the forward line doesn't help the Over. No play on the o/u for me.

Would liked to have seen Bojan replace Henry but Barcelona have chosen a more cautious approach. Still lean over but doesn't excite me anymore.

Thanks for the info.

Go Barca!!!!!!

Enjoy the game, should be a good one.

henry ,although talented as they come...gets very aloof and pouty when things do not break his way...hence leading to bad passes and missed shot opportunities..good riddance...like the over 2'

 

[TheBrainiac]

sick goal

 

[jwblue]

That wasn't even a foul on Maluda (the call that looked like it was in the box.) He clearly took a dive.
