Chelsea 1-1 ValenciaEuropean Football Chelsea by Nick_07 (U7622145) 04 April 2007 How do you view this result. It means you have to either win or get a draw bigger than 2-2. I think Valencia are favourites Latest 10 commentsRead members' comments or add your own

De-Loper (U2980293) posted Apr 5, 2007 I believe that this game is still very open. It has been seen that both sides can score goals (with a bit more luck, Chelsea could have added a second and third in the second half). Valencia are an excellent side yet I still believe that Mourinho's tactics will shine through in the second leg.

The Unused Substitute (U5496502) posted Apr 5, 2007 I think it's clear that Valencia are slight favourites, but i still back us (chelsea) to go through. As many people have said, even if they score, we have to score at least once anyway. I expect us to pull through and reach the semis. Bring on the scowsers!!!

mporatto (U8026934) posted Apr 5, 2007 I think yesterday's march has Chelsea written all over it. While I commend the strong strike from David (that was one of the two good chances they had yesterday) that earned them the goal, I think the game was controlled firmly by chelsea. I am not particularly happy with Drogba's first half 'to the gallery' performance. He could have sealed the game from the first half. But he came out strongly in the 2nd half. Im also not impressed with Shawn. His skills surpases his wits on the ball. But the Chelsea team I saw yesterday would beat Valencia at home. The pressure is now on them. We have handled ours quite well, lets hope they wont

Bluestopfan (U6915160) posted Apr 5, 2007 A nearly same example would be the FA cup when everyone wrote-off Chelsea and picked THFC to win after a draw at SB? And, guess what happened? we're in the semis in the FA. This to me can be same on that we're in the CL. And, don't get me wrong Valencia are great team, but we can beat them at the mestalla! Now I think the pressure is on them, because we have to attack for us to survive!

goldbobbyttambling (U8029380) posted Apr 5, 2007 looking at the game carefully its clear that while velencia are a good team Chelsea controlled the game - valencia troubled cech about 3 times but chelsea had a hatfull of chances. They also got a lot of milage from diagonal balls to drogba and they got behind the fullbacks a lot - valencia break fast and eat up a lot of time in the other teams box but they lack a real threat - villa's goal was a wonder goal and when he hit it he had no where to go - cech won't be beaten like that too often - - also after the chelsea goal last night chelsea were pushing hard and a series of fake injuries and substitutions slowed them down - they need to make sure that the pace of the game is at a high tempo when they're on top - i think chelsea will come out on top for the second leg - i'm more concerned with Man U because unlike chelsea or liverpool they still don't seem to have a plan for europe and they can get caught by cunning teams.

kandinsky (U1881047) posted Apr 5, 2007 Chelsea have not really progressed under Mourinho and yesterday was another proof. Players making wrong decisions at crucial points. Drogba blasted the ball into the sky when all he had to do was lay it to Lampard. Next it's Lampard's turn. Sheva was clearly in a goalscoring position, yet Lampard attempted an impossible shot at goal. Comment on this article |
