I think that is the right attitude tbh. If he comes here i will not boo him, it's romans choice and Rafa has a lot of experience, saying that i dont really want him, but people, we are not liverpool, so its not necessarily gonna be the same...
Well i really hope it isn't rafa... But to try and soften the blow i have a small bet on him.... WOULD LOVE TO LOSE AND IT BE PEP.........PLEASE.... PLEASE.... PLEASE.... SAY PEP AND I WILL BE FINE.
Ok mate... Never say never after last year, but no, hopefully you get beat by shakhtar we go through and you will remebr us lifting it for the second time...
Its not the flair players but the lack of players we have to convert what they created. Oscar laid one on a plate to hazard, hazard did one similar to mata etc. We want them 3 to be interchanging a bit deeper with a true striker up front which we don't have. Yes our "flair" players had a bad game but that is not the underlying problem.
We need a striker and we need JT back. JT gives us SOOOOO much in defence and in captaincy that he is crucial for us. And a striker because hazard is not a striker and torres isn't really either. I applaud what RDM tried it didn't work The alternative was playing torres up top which i am 95% confident wouldn't have worked either. Maybe moses from the start up top as we kept lashing the ball down field and chiellini chested it down 4 times in a row. But oscar looked great in spells, and hazard and mata should have scored. But hey that is the situation we are in. Shakhtar are a quality team as we know and at home they won't be thinking it is a nothing game as will want the best draw going. We have to go out get the job done vs nordjaelland and hope that shakhtar can knick the points for us. I am going to the chelsea game but my mind will probably be in ukraine.
Well at least we were reigning champions... And tbh who exactly will remember or care. If you don't win it they won't really remember you. You offered me this 82 mins into the game on the 19th may i would have snapped your hand off and been so happy it was unbeleiveable.
