Playing false 9 with Hazard up front usually isolated Hazard from the game. And that is exactly what we do not need against Barcelona. On the other hand, him playing with Pedro and Willian worked against Brighton (?) so maybe it will work against Barcelona too. It starts with B too. Desperate.
I am really angry at the line up. It is not like Morata and Giroud are injured, suspended or totally, totally out of form. They will surely be introduced in the second half but all the time before that is looking to be fucking wasted.
No Cahill was a good start but then I moved to see the front line. Bloody hell playing without a striker has caused us so many troubles. Yet we are giving it another go against Barcelona. Booo
A proper European night at the Bridge, the atmosphere will be something else. Barcelona never liked playing us. Let's show the world why. No Baka is a good start.
Cesc could just remove himself from the Barcelona clash. On the other hand, he will provide one more long pass and he will be appreciated by Conte again.
Beating Man United would make things easier. And it is not like Man United are like Man City. They are far from being ideal, just like us. That would be sweet, boosting our chances and confidence, while 'killing' Mourinho.
What a difference an actual striker makes. Performance far, far from ideal, but certainly a better one compared to the 2 games before this.
Manchester clubs next in the League. Here comes the fun.
