FRANKIE'S FLUTTERS


GOT one right last week – as Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 in the FA Cup semi final at Wembley, just as I predicted.

Looking at next week’s return semis in the Champions League, I’m going to shy away from predicting the Chelsea result in Barca, as I don’t want to put the curse on John Terry and Co!
But I do believe that Bayern Munich will now complete the job they started last week when they beat Real Madrid 2-1 in Munich. I can see Bayern scoring at least once as Real go all out for the goals that will take them to the Final. Madrid’s problem is a very un-Jose Mourinho-like problem…their defence stinks.
Yes, OK, they are brilliant as an attacking force – with the likes of Ronaldo and Higuain and Benzema – but defensively are extremely suspect. Ramos is no central defender; his positioning was all over the place in Munich and the rest of the backline is similarly unreliable…with a yellow or red card simply waiting to happen when they come up against a top attacking force – which Bayern certainly are with the wondrous, if hard-to-like, Robben and Ribery. So it’s Bayern for me in a 2-2 draw on the night and through on away goals.
