Semi-Final Prediction:
Barcelona - Chelsea Arsenal - Porto |
Well, I seem to remember a certain game with a lot more riding on it seeing 3 Liverpool goals in 6 mins - this time you've got 90 mins. What's so difficult about that? - you can take your time next week! ;)

Put it this way, was the way United played on Tuesday reminiscent of their old selves? No - and yet they still managed to pull out a draw against an awesome Porto team. Perhaps people would say they were lucky as in the Villa game, but Tevez and Rooney's work-rate meant they were deserving of their goals so they in essence created their own luck. If United can produce a performance next week that is even half way to that which they're capable of, I can see them going through no probs. Porto cannot possibly play any better than they did and United cannot possibly play any worse so a United win may not be as far-fetched as some people may think. :) |

I think you're up against it - if Gerrard isn't fit in time, you've definitely got no chance. Chelsea can just sit back and park the bus now and even without Terry in the team, I still think it's an absolute mountain to climb. Having said that, if any team was to try it, I'd put my money on Liverpool to have the best chance - they are anointed when it comes to Europe! :)

I'm made up Mascherano will be back and they have no Terry but, we'll just have to see. |
You'll have to change your game plan for sure. Hiddink was naiive/silly/arrogant(?) enough to explain exactly how he decided to counteract Liverpool's effectiveness in quite a lot of detail so Rafa can use that to Liverpool's advantage if he's clever enough and he's shown before in the CL that he has the strategical know-how to do that.
I think it all hinges on who gets the first goal. If it goes Liverpool's way, I can see Chelsea's defence getting edgy without Terry there to steady the ship but Liverpool have to be sensible and not wreckless as one goal for Chelsea and it's game over I reckon. |

If we do get an early first goal, it could change things. |
