no stevie, xabi, sami or bellamy

Very true. Their midfielders are picking it just off their defenders and bypassing midfield with a ball over the top.

[REDSCOUSER]

What a disappointing end to the 1st half. After dominating the chavs a lapse in defence let Sheva in and they score.
THE REDS played really well pressurising them in midfield and upfront which led to many HOOFS by their players.
More of the same in the 2nd half lads and we'll gubb 'em as I said on page 1.

i heard my mate who is watching the game said chelsea are now trying to bypass momo by launching long ball attacks....hahaha

Negative.

There is no bypassing thy man mountain!

Momo is an absolute ****ing machine.

We've given them a Footballing lesson without Xabi and Stevie.

couldn't agree more.

momo is superb. we have competed remarkably well for leaving so many good players out.

we were the better team when they were at full strength but ballack going off has had an advere effect for us because they have changed their shape and seem to be getting at us more.

hopefully rafa will change a few things at half time and we go on to win the match.

Chelsea really are Liverpool circa 1998-2004 with better players aren't they?

No disrespect to GH (Who I like alot) .

this is excellent .....think the big guns will be on soon. Cant get over how much of a legend Momo is going to be.

[Red_Al_77]

Great save Reina. We are on the back foot.

Does this go to ET and pens if it stays like this?

Should really just go straight to pens after 90mins. Would make more sense.

[Red_Al_77]

Aurelio on Gonzalez off.

[Red_Al_77]

SG and Alonso coming on.

Yes it Does.

[TheStig]

Why did they get rid of "sharing" it?

[red g]

SG and Alonso coming on.

time to up it a gear

[red g]

i really do not rate Zenden. Think he is by far our weakest link,

[Red_Al_77]

Pennant and Zenden off.
