Since Liverpool are starting their Europa League campaign tonight, may as well start this thread now.
This will be rodgers first season in Europe, so I expect he'll look to have a solid competition. I reckon AVB will take this competition more seriously than Redknapp and Newcastle will want to do well for sure. Hopefully these three teams will do well and help England's co-efficient points.
That's funny. Almost as funny as the idea of Terry and Lampard being the key components of Chelsea's success. "Carried by foreign players, we know what we are."
Re: Wembley - Bayern vs Dortmund - Will they find a way for both of them to choke?
Both Lampard and Terry have been good over the years, but they do get overrated by the English media. People go on about those two being the key to Chelsea's success over the years, but I personally think Drogba and Cech were more important players.

Over a long period those two definitely. I'd add in Carvalho and Makelele for the premiership winning period also.
Lampard seems like a fairly nice guy, didn't personally like the way he treated Villas-Boas though. Sure he had a hunger to still be in the first team and that's great but to try and undermine the manager like that was poor form and I know it wasn't just him, the whole campfire crew are to blame for that extremely unprofessional behaviour they demonstrated.
Re: Wembley - Bayern vs Dortmund - Will they find a way for both of them to choke?
Personally I like to look at the whole team rather than the players’ individually. Terry isn't world class overall but his organisational skills and his aerial ability have been vital to Chelsea’s team over the years.
Not everyone has to be a worldbeater but everyone should at least contribute.
Re: Wembley - Bayern vs Dortmund - Will they find a way for both of them to choke?
I think Madrid have been the shining example that putting eleven world class players in the same team doesn't guarantee success, at least not the success they crave anyway.
Terry and Carvalho worked a treat and complimented one another perfectly.
Christ, don't get me started on Ashley Cole. One reason I'd really love for Action Man to come back to the prem (aside from the obvious excitement) would be for him to utterly humiliate that overrated clown now that he's got over the big match hump. Being called the best at his position in the era of Lahm, I can't even describe how stupid this is.
100% agree. Carvalho was the world class player. Terry just used the abilities he had that Carvalho didn't to make himself a key component in the Chelsea team. Glad you saw the light.

Haha my friends keep poking fun at me for Chelsea being in the Europa League Final after winning the CL last year! Doesn't bother me though, I'm just happy that we might actually get a trophy this year, even if it is a BIG step down after winning the CL last year!
