A Bridge Too Far Part 2

No heroics act this time, mate. Tough luck!

Mission accomplished. To score 3 goals or more at the Bridge.
Except that Chelsea should not score any. It's not in the script but that exactly what they did last night, much to our annoyance.

Really, nothing to be ashamed of. Okay, we failed to reach the semis but the performance of each player was outstanding, Lucas included.
To lead 2-0 at the break was something out of this world, giving belief that we can do it yet again but to concede 4 in the 2nd half alone was also something out of this world. When was the last time Reina conceded 4 in a game? Never.
Every time we are in a position to reach the semis, Chelsea snuffed it out.

Rafa's crazy tactics at the the end, going for the jugular was understandable. That's the only reason why Chelsea managed to score 4. Lampard was left alone for his goals though Lucas should have tracked him rather than standing like a statue. Okay, Masch was not around then.

How I wish we only lose 2-1 at home so that Rafa would have played Torres till the end. Or to shut up shop after having 2 goal lead. But in reality, we need 3 clear goals to advance.

Ahhh. forget it. Bring on Arsenal instead. Ohh another thing...Lucas scoring a goal. Deflected or not, still priceless. A collectors item.
