Best XI of the quarter final

Try not to make it 11 Utd players

I missed a few games but here's an attempt:

---------------Canizares-----------------

Finnan----Lucio--Ferdinand----Jankulovski

Ronaldo---Carrick----Masch------Giggs

-----------Rooney----Crouch------------

I know it is majority EPL but the EPL has 3/4 of the semi finalists after all

I found the keeper choice very tough - Rensing and Canizares were both good but made errors and Reina, despite not conceding did very little

Where the FUCK is Ballack?

AND ESSIEN?! He shud be there ahead of fucking finnan!!

No Essien and no Seedorf ?

Racist.

DONT CARE!!

canizares was at fault for two goals out of 3 FFS

Well who do you suggest?

Dida - crap in the first leg
VDS - At fault for Roma's 2nd at home
Rensing - made an error for Pirlo's
Reina - did nothing
Gomes - let in 3 in the first leg....

Totti...

Daniel Agger plays his part in 2 clean sheets, yet Ferdinand and Lucio (seriously - what the fuck?!) are ahead of him?

Doni

leave it empty

or give it to Reina as the only keeper with an overall clean sheet if you must

Reina - did nothing

... Which basically translates as: Saves everything that came at him, including 2 very decent efforts from Farfan this evening.

And Canizares didn't made any mistake.

He doesn't like blacks or Scandos.

De Rossi was decent in the first leg...and by far Roma's best player in the 2nd (and a goal)

Daniele De Rossi

I thought Lucio was class but as an Arsenal fan ill just look at the statistics (fours goals conceeded in two games) so he was shit.

---------------Reina-----------------

Finnan----Carragher--Agger----Jankulovski

Ronaldo---Kaka----Mascherano----J Cole

-----------Kuyt-----Crouch------------

---------------Rensing-----------------

Finnan----Van Buyten-Essien---Jankulovski

Ronaldo---Carrick-----Ballack------***** (not sure)

-----------******----Drogba------------

Reasons.

Rensing performed VERY well considering it was against AC Milan and made some absolutely incredible saves. Hes better than Kahn now imo, plus Kahn is a complete twat as well.

Finnan apparently played well in the first leg.

Van Buyten is a rock. And can score. Sounds like JT. But first leg he was a beast, and played quite well this game.

Essien- Had to have him somewhere, chelsea missed him badly first leg, and you can see the difference he makes, stunning player.

Jankulovski is the best left back in the world right now? From his two-legged performance it could be said so, some quality deliveries and sound defensively

Ronaldo- Need we say?

Carrick- Passes forwards now.

Ballack- The Ballack of old turned up against Valencia in that second leg, and that was one hell of a performance.

Drogba- Dont miss the big mans performance in both legs. Holds the ball up, brings others into play, put the defence under SO much pressure in both legs.


Dont know who for the blanks.


Edit: Agger/Van Buyten.

Lucio is at least half-cast

Giggs?

By the sounds of things:

- - - - - - - - - - Reina
Finnan - Carragher - Agger - Riise
Ronaldo - Carrick/Pirlo - Masch/B'lack - Seedorf
- - - - - - - Rooney - Crouch

Something along those lines.

pretty good

maybe terry or carvalho (whoever played the best) for keeping valencia so quiet instead of agger or carra for reasons of fairness

I watched the Valkencia-Chelsea game yesterday.The best players were by far:Drogba,Carvalho,Shevchenko and Essien for Chelsea.Morientes,Villa and Ayala for Valencia.I still think Canizares made some "spetacular" stop with some shots not very dangerous (particularly with the Drogba's header)..

So, in 8 games we had 26 goals!

Not bad to say that the CL has been critised recently on here for being dull

It has been very dull, this round has been good though.

The last 16 was dire, I concur - the semi's don't look too promising either, cept the Utd-Milan tie

"caste"



Do you mean mixed race/dual heritage?

I've had enough of your bigotry - this follows some of your anti-Roman/Italian rants.

Perhaps a short ban is in order ?

Bigotry

What the fuck are you on about?

I hate Roma because they're fans are violent cunts and their players are idiots.

I'm not anti-italian - I've said nothing at all bad about Milan as I quite like them.

And just because I left an 'e' off a word doesn't make me racist you 'tard

No I was ticking you off for spelling and racism - "half-caste" is not an acceptable term.

Staggering to hear that from an Arsenal fan of all people.
