Stupid though, if he doesn't trust his squad to not concede five without Alonso what's he going to do in the final.

He was just deflecting from the honest answer which was "how the gently caress was I supposed to know Xabi was going to lose his loving mind?"

Did Ancelotti really say that? That's hilarious.

He's still traumatized like the rest of Milan's fans. That's why I'll always love him.

This match will need an early David Luiz own goal to spice things up. Quite excited and the final is going to be amazing no matter who moves on from today.

He probably just assumed Alonso was smart enough to realize the situation? He can't really say "I didn't think his dumb rear end would launch himself into a tackle like that", can he? Although I like the idea of him being THAT traumatized.

Chelsea: Schwarzer; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; David Luiz, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Willian, Hazard; Torres. Subs: Hilario, Kalas, Van Ginkel, Schurrle, Oscar, Eto'o, Ba.

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe Luis; Mario, Tiago, Adrian, Koke, Arda; Diego Costa. Subs: Aranzubia, Alderweireld, Diego, Sosa, Cristian Rodriguez, Raul Garcia, David Villa.

So that's either five at the back or a 4-3-3 with Dave playing holding mid.

Even if it was five at the back that'll change quick, Atleti's 4-5-1 will be too string in possession against that.

I would guess one of Chelsea's 3 full backs will be played as a winger.

Spangly A posted:

Pedro is up there with Mueller in "players that are ridiculous for unusual reasons".

Pedro makes Messi. That's it. gently caress the midfield, Pedro's pace and intelligence creates the space Messi needs, and his movement was always perfect. In any other team he'd struggle for 10 a year consistently, his understanding with Messi made him invaluable.

Without Pedro, Pique and Puyol at their best, and without the balance created by Abidal (you really can't have both wingbacks storming forward, it cramps the centre) Barca became far too one-dimensional, lacking any danger from pace and defensive solidity.

What's happening to Bayern is different. Mandzukic is trying to play tiki-taka. This is going predictably.

Imagine Mandzukic under Mourinho though, phwoooooooooooooooooar.

Either that or Ramires wide and a sexy Azpilicueta/Luiz midfield.

Even Chelsea fans should wish for an early Atleti goal. Otherwise this match is going to be the most incredibly boring poo poo match since the first leg, which I rank among the worst ever.

Seeing Diego Costa lifting the "orejona" in Lisbon is going to own a lot, too bad Cristiano is not going to see it because he'll be crying in the dressing room.

Chelsea will make it to the final and then lose on one goal to Real.

Mourinho will then say "Who gives a poo poo" and the Chels will have their Bad-News-Bears ending drinking beers on the pitch.
