They really outplayed us last match. Ballack looks better than Lampard now that he's playing Lampard's position. Hopefully it will be different for the rematch at goodison.
I wouldn't put Baines in against Chelsea not the ideal team to start his comeback against. Maybe if we go down 1-0.
Manny on the other hand. I think we might need his speed. With no Pinnear there will be too much pressure on Arteta to create, they'll shut him down and our only chance will be set pieces. I think we will have to score at least 2 to send it to penalites.
I like our chances if it goes to penalites. I think Howard is pretty good at anticipating penalites. Cech was beaten easily by the [Poor language removed] in the CL.
A 2-0 victory would be wonderful, but arrgh I'll be at work. However we've been killing the games I haven't watched this year. Can't we just kidnap Yak? He did have a hat trick against them a couple years ago.
