if we lose and Valencia win were both on 8 points and to play each other if we aint carefull we will finish 3rd in the group so we MUST win this imo

What's the point in optimism? I was optimistic on Sunday, i was optimistic against Genk away, i was optimistic against QPR, i just can't be bothered anymore, this team is just a complete failure and if we win, great, if we don't, fuck it. It's not like we can win the tournament. My optimism is at an all time low right now and yes, you can all moan and say you should stick by your team but how much do they really care and how many care? After QPR, although we lost, i was happy because the players gave everything, since then, they've just let us down, we deserve better. I'm still extremely bitter and still in a very bad mood since the Arsenal game, the Liverpool game just put in a final blow, like kicking a dead person. We might win, if we get a half decent team in the next round or 2, we're simply goners. We have no chance of anything good this season. THAT is how optimistic i am. The last few performances have been an insult to us so atm i feel a bit fucked off and couldn't care a shit what happens to them.

I understand why you are negative by the way we have been playing recently , but when in a slump we really need to get behind the team its easy during the good times , but we have had much worse teams in the past. i think get the defence sorted and we will be ok. AVB needs to pick his first 11 and stick to them we need a consistent back 4 who will grow over the season together.

Bertrand is not in the CL squad.

i know, I've just read my own post back there and realised what I wrote....one of those mornings

Expect Ballack to score...

We always get behind the team, but the performances against Arsenal, Genk and Liverpool leaves a lot to be desired. You'd think we were one of the other west london mobs, for our stature in football now, we deserve a hell of a lot better that this shit.

Perfect game for us to start a comeback..let's hope we can find some form.

I think you really underestimate the German side my friend. They are in great form, Ballack is scoring...a lot, and if I'm really honest, I think their midfield is better than ours. Plus, like all german teams, they are extremely organized and hard to break down defensively, so if we concede first, we are very likely to lose the match.

I think this is the worst game for us to start a comeback.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Gana no doubt be a nervey horrible last 5 minute comeback..cant see a trashing or us going goal crazy a slim win if at all a win

We have to try our best to win this game and not settle for anything less.

Don't want to go into matchday 6 against a good Valencia side in danger of not making the round of 16.

The main thing is not to loose i would rather go to Valencia with a point than nothing. This will be a very tough game.

I agree that a win is important, but a loss is disastrous. Against Liverpool and Arsenal we really went for the win when the games were level, but that backfired in both matches and we lost both from the counter. So maybe if the game is level at the closing stages we are better off playing it safe.

I'd gladly take a draw from this one.

[bluephoenix 1,131]

wins in the CL level would give some hope for Roman .

if we lose then there is nothing worse than that even though we have witnessed the worse many a times so far this season

Won't be able to watch this, J. Cole performance tomorrow!

Hope it's a good one. (in both events)
