    If chelsea had properly came forward tonight and tried to attack they would have seriously been shredded to bits.

    The play acting from both sides was laughable, as usual the biggest offender was Drogba.

    Chelsea managed to kill the game. Arsenal and Man Utd are England's best two to watch.

    Messi wasn't pish. He was quiet. Huge difference. He wasn't quiet because of his own performance either, Chelsea just played anti-football.

    I'd add Iniesta to that, thought he was class.

    Match was shocking I thought, one paced and Chelsea ruined it with sitting back. Probably be more of the same tomorrow night. :54:

    I thought Iniesta and Pique were excellent. Pique is starting to become a great player, I used to think of him as a big stiff defender with no technical ability, but he's fairly quick, brings the ball out of defence a lot and his long range passing is superb.

    I think Iniesta was MOTM. Toure was OK.

    Chelsea seemed to take a page out of their Blue Brother's book... was very annoying to watch. They didn't even try to attack beyond one mistake from Marquez. Very disappointed in Hiddink.

    That said, wonderchild Bojan had a brilliant chance and really should have put it away, and Hleb should have scored as well.

    Eto'o had a brilliant chance too.

    I don't know why the English are creaming their pants at an 0-0 draw. All it means is if Barcelona score in London, they'll probably go through.

    Chelsea needed a goal tonight IMO.

    I was wondering that aswell Messi, an English team got a 0-0 at home in one of the previous rounds and it was "a great result", now they get one away from home and it's "a great result" :rolleyes:

    Well before this match someone on SkySportsNews said "We dont know how good Barcelona really are because they have not played English opposition yet this season". :97:

    *?!? Is that how we judge how good a team is, by how they play against any English side? :rolleyes:

    Aye mate it's * disgusting. Also, Zlatan isn't world class because he performed * against Man United. :56:

    Talent wise, he's probably the best player in the world.
