Ive watched the 1st leg of the semi final again, and the own goal has put an awful lot of sugar on the pill. we were totally outclassed by them.we had a good opening spell but never really made them break a sweat. ballack, cole and lampard went missing for long periods of the game. only for cech it shouldve been 3 or 4, if it was a boxing match we would be in a coma and even some of our defenders made kuyt look good.
i only hope they dont play crouch.at the bridge in febuary,he shouldve had a hatrick!
our defense just raised the white flag then,because they just couldnt handle him.
their manager is well aware how to beat us,while our manager has the undoubted talent i fear, of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.we got very very lucky, they got 6-7 chances. play the same way as we did in the first leg, then we will be out.
its that simple. i hope we get away with it again if we play as bad.
what will grant put in place to stop a repeat performance
