CL: Chelsea vs Arsenal | 24/03/04

[A.Hussain]

i predict 1-0 to the arse with either bobby, titi, or more importantly bergy getting the goal

 

[Arsenal316]

0-0 at the half....lots of midfield play...some few close calls for both teams. Should be an interesting second half.

 

[Alexone234]

0-0 at half time. Its been close. I would like to see us get a foot on the ball a bit more in the MF

 

[Aussie]

Its crucial that we score at least one goal.

 

[Arsenal316]

Once we get up front, our passing skills seem to disappear.

 

[Laxness]

I was hoping Arsenal would get a quick goal to ease my nerves, but my fingers are twitching still.

 

[Arsene]

The final 3rd is the problem right now. Henry is only getting the ball in wide positions. Pires on the left is creating very little. We're not catching them on the break, they are catching us!

 

[Sammer]

We don´t look too convincing tonight so far. Chelsea is more agressive, they would completely dominate the midfield, if paddy wasn´t there to eliminate chances upfront.

They look confident, whereas we only had sporadic blinks of Wengerball. Bergy needs to adjust to the game, so far he wasn´t too lucky.

If we continue like this, we have a good chance of losing this one. Hope Arsène finds the right words now to spark em up.

 

[USArsenal]

i think Reyes will play a part in the 2nd half... he could change the face of the game (as Chelsea has seen before)... i say by the 70th minute.....

 

[rufus]

i hope they score at least one goal.... i could live with a 1-1 draw (better than a scoreless tie)

 

[Arsenal316]

Chelsea have looked good coming out of the break....had a couple of chances within 5 minutes.

 

[n_henry]

Yeah, at least score a goal, even if we draw. If it ends up a scoreless draw, Chelski would be the slight faves to go through to the semis, IMHO...

C'mon boys! :evil:

 

[Arsenal316]

OMG, 1-0 Chelsea...What the hell was Lehmann thinking!!?

 

[USArsenal]

why would they be favorites if its a goalless draw? if we draw this match, i think we have the upperhand going back home for the second leg....


besides, lots of time left in this one

 

[rufus]

welcome back david seaman

 

[Arsenal316]

Jesus christ.....Lehmann has to have more faith in the defense. SUPID MOVE!!!!

 

[USArsenal]

WHAT????? my text commentary is slow.. ****

 

[n_henry]

Sh*t...friggin Edur. We're down a goal.

 

[USArsenal]

damn damn damn damn damn

 

[Gazza Martinez]

Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal!
