uuhhhhh? Chelsea vs Bremen
:conf: :rolleyes: |
Why the hell would you be talking about a match that took place more then 2 months ago ?
Chelsea looked woefully short of ideas against Bremen in their last outing. Now, maybe it's cause they are focused on the game against United, but they definately lacked the cutting edge against the Germans.
Or maybe they were doing the Germans a favor -- seeing as Barca is the other team looking to qualify in the group of death. |

You can see that during European games, because Mourinho plays 4 centre midfielders, there is a lack of width. Bringing in Robben as a sub IMO is not as effective b/c I think he does better when he has time to adjust to flow of the game as a starter. And he gets stuck playing a forward which isn't his preferred position.
Missing Lampard does hurt too. (And Ballack looks like he's still adjusting to English game)

Eh. I dunno if that's the case.
Losing always sucks. You kinda want the momentum going into big matches in your domestic league.
Say what you want about Mourinho, but a loser (managing wise) is not one of them. |

possibly but with bremen having to go to the nou camp on the final matchday i think barca will be fired up and be too strong for them |

Eh. Barca injury problem does hurt. (though they do have depth)
It'll def. be match of the day for sure. |

as i said i pasted the wrong review from my comp., for witch i post on various forums, excuse the mistake
ne ways heres the proper one
Mertesacker first-half header nicely silences the CFC...
Bremens first opening creations started right after the kick-off when Jensen released Almeida, although Terry arrived in time to make an important clearance
Drogba gave Essien a chance to shoot wide before Obi Mikel had an even better chance heading over after Terry had nodded a long shot from Geremi right into his direction
they both have 10 points and set a interesting pair for MD 6 |

joe cole is still in recovery dont forget, but i think he can pull of his next big game as for morinho, u cant win em all
i agree ballack still needs to adjust to the english field |
