Well, after a couple of bad results I was a bit nervous about the game against Marseille. The squad was looking a bit short with a few important players missing from injury and Drogba suspended.
The start line up looked strongish... We started Kakuta, which was a bit of a surprise for me, but it all worked out fine. Terry taped in a cross from Kakuta right in the start of the game, which made us relax a bit. The first half was solid and we were given a soft penalty when the Marseille player touched the ball with his hand inside the area. I thought it was a bit harsh to be honest, but I'm not the referee, I'm a fan so good for us. Anelka stepped up and took another cool penalty. It makes me a bit nervous the way he just looks relaxed and doesn't make a run, but as long as he is scoring I hope he keeps taking them.
On the second half we didn't seam to making much of an effort and Marseille forced us to do some good defending. I think we took the foot out of the accelerator in preparation for the Arsenal game at the weekend.
So, a brilliant start to the Champions League, let's keep going an maybe, just maybe... (I shouldn't even think about it yet, let's wait a bit more !)
Well, see you all at the weekend !
There will be war at Mr and Mrs Footy house as the preparations for the Arsenal - Chelsea game begins...
