Ahem... I wasn't so happy with him. He would have made a good game if
there weren't so many technical errors. ... like ball controlling.
cough...cough.

What's wrong with that?

Did you know that Chelsea have 10 own goals?

Berbatov we know well. He's done less damage than Voronin over the
years.

Neville owned him rather well until that hand ball.

Where we should have done more pressure was on the other side, where the
wing back was weaker but Lahm (especially) way way too hesitant to take
much advantage. Most of the dangerous stuff on that side came from
Altintop.

I for one think it a mistake to automatically put Schweinsteiger back in
there, unless he shows more away to Schalke on the weekend. I rather
liked Pranjic in his place, in support of Olic.

Olic must absolutely be on the field for 90 minutes. Last night showed
why. Against Stuttgart van G took Olic and Pranjic off at the half,
after they'd scored the 1-0, and put Klose on. What a mistake. Good
thing he more or less learned from it last night. With Robben back,
Klose should be on the bench.

Well, that's the same van G who keeps wanting to play Klose instead of
Olic...
