The way I saw the match this morning is that Ah Ben is still a
ultra-defensive manager that is why he is deploying the
ultra-defensive set-up.
For Chelsea, they have the two best players in each position and
was able to expose Liverpool's weakness on the right back.
As what the New Paper have highlighted, Ah Ben have screwed up
again in important match by deploying picking weird players (Zenden
?) for his task.
As for the players, they are more like saving their legs every
match for the home game, that is not healthy for a champion.
So, for the next week match, it will depend solely on two
factors:
- Ah Ben's selection of players (his stubbornness about
Stevie)
- The fire in each players
For me, I feel that Ah Ben will create another screw-up in the
second leg team selection and thus throwing the match away. (He is
still no match for Jose and Drogba)
For the players, I dun see the hunger shown during the match
against arsenal in the player body language, they seem very tired
and want to just draw the match.
Therefore, on basis of my analysis, chelsea will be through to the
final with 1 single goal by Cole.
They will park the whole squad in front of goal mouth as the
Liverpool players cannot and is unable to open up a PACKED
defence.
That is how the team from mid-table are able to hold up the
REDS.
At this moment, luck and hunger favour Chelsea and the Devils.
