What I meant to say that we are normally suited for ocunter-attack, not that we are good at it! haha my mistake there, edited my post to reflect that.

lol

anyway,i just finish saw Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva a.k.a alexandre pato video.he just awesome.i can simplified he is like kaka+messi.fast dribbling and godlike runner.nowdays,he seems not as him 2 years ago.maybe coz conflict with his gf (Sthefany Brito).

is it? i always think chelsea is great during counter attacks.. remember 4-2 barca?

next year sheiko is coming back from acmilan , hope some other club can buy him . !!!

who knows he comes back and start popping in goals for fun. woohoo. i still love to see him wear the blue shirt.

its still so confusing if he is on loan or not.

he is a waste.abramovich sure regret now for purchasing him.worthless to pay £120k a week.

please..stop reminding us of robben and duffers.
robben wasn't playing in that match though. and yet we still scored 3 goals in TEN MINUTES. now that really was a magical night at the bridge!
i trust nobody here has forgotten that. now we are capable of counter attacking but we just don't do it as quickly as we used to.
usually someone (read: lamps) hits a long diagonal ball to whoever's upfront and they try to do the damage from there or hold up the ball till
backup arrives. still a very deadly system imo. just ask arsenal.

ecchan, u sound like a tabloid reporter giving the scoop on pato's life.
anyway IF ancelotti arrives, it would be awesome if the young brazillian tags along. i know that's what u want rite? hoho
there's a simple solution there - sheva for pato swap deal.

lol i doubt milan wants sheva anymore. they will definitely hold on to their young star too. i wonder who will tag along with ancelotti.

agree on this... just like veron... sheva is a flop... somemore who r our flops ar? cant rmb d..

can't wait to watch barcelona match..

u know what comes at an even better timing? the el classico which is sandwiched nicely between the first and second leg.
so before they head on down over to the bridge, they'll have to deal with sworn rivals real madrid at the bernabeu. seeing that their lead has already been trimmed down to 4 points, it promises to be a cracker. certainly a match i look forward to watching. if there's one match that will prove to be a huge distraction to barca, this is it. of course in order to benefit from that we'll need to get a good result at the nou camp first.
exciting times ahead!

looks like hiddink decided to put "the shackle" in the midfield. most prolly to prevent the mid from passing balls to messi/eto/henry. big chance bosingwa is going to take the left back role from what i read in the official site.

bossingwa ? hmm a lil bit worry bout him lol..
but still have faith in him..
hope he can lock down messi...
cant wait for the match..so dam excited !!!

Okay, the Barca match up will promise to be a cracker but please take a moment to view our FA Cup final shirt that we will be wearing:

err, i wonder, what happen to carvalho? i thiink he already recover from his injury right...
so, is that mean he is out of favour, in expense of alex?

OHHHH!! It looks good. Particularly like the FA cup final stitchings around the badge if only we won the coin toss

most definitely our workrate must be at an all time high, we need 10 men behind the ball when barca has possession. we all know their passing game and their ghost runs. the 10 men need to track their men and track them well. one lazy tracker and it could culminate in a goal

yeap. thats right. no room for errors for the defending part. double their effort too. better pressure the player holding the ball. yet not let them waltz pass us.

i hope a high scoring draw against barcelona...my prediction (4-4)

must win lor... better if can score like liv 3-1... hehehehee
