What Was Avram Grant Thinking?

Started by The Gaffer · 10 months ago

    Michael,

    I've actually crunched the numbers and it turns out that in the history of the CL, 70.6% of the teams that played 0-0 in the first leg away went through. (Full results are here.

    I never said that Chelsea won't go through; I predicted them to advance and even though I put them in my "Losers" category in my recent post and questioned Avram Grant here, my prediction still stands.

    The reason I put them in that category was because honestly, they had the most straightforward draw out of anyone at this stage. They very well should've gone to Greece, won by a couple goals, and put this tie to bed. Now, they have to go home and work a little harder in midweek then they would've wanted to. Not scoring on the road doesn't help them at all, and while I still think they'll advance, a fluke goal for Olympiacos early at Stamford Bridge could make things tricky.
