Media's darling team, another one. I don't understand how they can celebrate the fact that Mourinho never lost a European game at Old Trafford. Well guess what, a boring 1-1 draw in the second leg and they are done. Not that unreal scenario....
Winning here would be massive. And I actually fancy our chances, but we need to play with a striker, that is for sure. Cahill is going to start this one, isn't he, after sitting out the Champions League game.
The second part of the first half clearly showed we have to believe in ourselves more. Sure, don't stop focusing on defence, but up front we can create a lot of danger.
I was looking forward to this game since December. What a massive, massive let down. We can create some danger against this Barca team. The manager decided not to.
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
