Champions League - Week 5 (22nd-23rd Nov)

Has Benayoun played at all since signing for Arsenal? Seems to exist solely on benches..

Van bommel own goal

Watching Leverkusen v Chelsea game.

What on earth has happened to David Luis. He has verged on the pub league tonight, keeps giving away possession and looking positionally dodgy.

Not a good performance from either side but Chelsea just about edging it. Lampard and Ballack showing their age, both have been poor.

Best players, probably Castro and Sturridge

Good open attacking game, very entertaining. Barça showing the usual control of possession, but Milan pressuring well and putting in a lot of energy and effort. They had some great chances towards the end of the half, forcing Barça into some last ditch defending. Pep's 3-4-3 is being exploited well by Milan on the flanks.

Mereiles has been very decent too actually. Good signing for them

No chances at the Emirates. Dortmund have looked slightly the brighter side, but have been wasteful when they've got into good crossing positions. Arsenal haven't done anything of note aside from one testing cross from Walcott.

World class finish by Drogba. Great ball by Sturridge.

1-0

What a goal ! Song

RVP

Van Persie! No surprises with the goal scorer, but all the credit for this goal goes to Song who beat three defenders down the wing and clipped a perfect cross to the Dutchman. Arsenal score with their first effort of the game.

Chelsea now dominating. Leverkusen have been conservative and dissapointing as an attacking force

Dear me, Drogba selfishly takes ball off Sturridge from an offside position after a rare beauty of a threaded thru ball by Lampard. Should have made it 2 there.

German wondering no. 356532 Schurrle comes on

where is ozil? this must be hurting him alot

Gervinho is a waste of space. Chamakh Mk II

Leverkusen equalise. Derdiyok. Lovely goal but what was ivanovic doing?

Fuck off Diaby.

Fucking hell, Diaby's still alive!

Arsenal score. Bet no one can guess who got it.

RVP.

2-0

Olympiakos winning as well, so as things stand, confirmed group winners

Chelsea concede in the 90th minute. Barely deserved win for Leverkusen, but AVB is now in big trouble

Fuck me, AVB wont be around much longer. 2-1 Jarmans.

Good game from both sides, 2-3 at injury time... I still think Milan should have started Ambrosini or Nocerino in place of Aquilani.

I guess this results suits us, I don't want Inter to face barca in the next round. Though to be fair, unless we see some serious improvement, we will lose to almost anyone.

Kagawa scores for Dortmund. Hopefully it's too late for the comeback. Poor defending from Arsenal, they caused themselves problems playing out from the back.

It is too late. 2-1 FT

Dortmund get a consolation, but thats it.

Was that Diaby who gave it away at the end then to concede ?

chelsea wont lose at home, so germany has 2 group winners

DOMINATION


dortmund was poor, not really scary, only at the begin of the 2nd half they created something decent

2 injurys in the first half (bender, götze) was surely not helpful

the 18 year old leitner and the 22 year old perisic as replacement

wtf is wrong with dortmund, buy some experience for europe

AVB

This guys gotta go.

Poor Villas-Boas, playing Terry, Lampard and Sturridge in a crucial CL game in Germany. Can't say I feel sorry for him. EVERYONE knows that to be successful, you play with the least amount of English players.

Dalglish SHOWED THAT TO HIM IN HIS OWN FACE! Poor Villas-Boas!

Just the result we needed with Marseille losing at home. I take it we are now guaranteed group leaders right?

The only English to have made the knock out stage #clubincrisis

city, utd and chelsea struggling to get out of the group

whats going on in england, why is the domination gone!!
