Napoli.
I think that Chelsea will go through.
What are the odds?
Napoli will spank them.
Kick and rush football from Chelsea in the early stages here. :rolleyes:
Napoli looking very dangerous.
Lavezzi making a fool out of Cole there.
We’re moving the ball with real pace and purpose and should be ahead.
You’d imagine it’s only a matter of time before Napoli score.
7 attempts on goal in the first 17 minutes for Napoli.
:rolleyes:
Smashing movement and header by Drogba. Great ball by Ramires too but Maggio took a knock shortly before and allowed him the space to deliver it.
Completely undeserved.
Disgusting football being played by Chelsea here. Hopefully we convert some of numerous openings.
Bollocks. Napoli really wanted to be making one of those chances count. Drogba is still easily Chelsea’s best player in these type of matches.
Cavani has been awful so far, that was a terrible touch. Wonderful play by Inler.
Bad first touch there by Cavani. Need to make one of these chances count as I find it hard to us not conceding again…

+1.
That’s why I edged towards Chelsea to go through. Aware of Napoli’s prowess on the break but thought Chelsea would pen them back and Drogba would do damage. Didn’t expect the game to pan out as it has done though with Napoli much the better team and Chelsea not having too much possession. But I thought Drogba would cause all sorts of bother with his strength and aerial ability as I don’t rate the Napoli back three.
Maggio will be a huge loss if he has to depart.
They’re tapping the spirit of Anfield at the library tonight. Italian teams will always wilt in that sort of environment but I doubt they’ll maintain it.
Maggio departs. Dossena on. Big loss for us, particularly for his defensive abilities.
Referee finally clamps down on Chelsea’s cynical fouling.
