The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 We are not an average team like Liverpool but we can play poorly and not beat Nordsjaelland...I'm not so sure your fear isn't well-founded. The first game against them was not as convincing as the 4-0 suggested.However I have a feeling this will be the type of game Torres scores at hat-trick in which guarantees him another 12 starts.

Jase 43,479 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm not so sure your fear isn't well-founded. The first game against them was not as convincing as the 4-0 suggested.However I have a feeling this will be the type of game Torres scores at hat-trick in which guarantees him another 12 starts.We were lucky to even win that game. Had Cech not made some great saves and Luiz not scored that 2nd goal, we could have easily gone on to concede and pick up only 1 point. Judging by our recent performances and results, I don't think it's out of the question that we might not even beat Nordsjaelland especially when you consider that we have struggled against some of the minnows in recent years - Cluj, Zilina and APOEL - despite the 2 matches against the latter 2 being dead rubbers.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Either a night to remember or night to be forgottenI don't think, if we go out, that anyone is going to let us forget that we are the first champions to get knocked out of the group stages. So either way it will be a memorable night, but how we will remember it is what will differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 apart from Man City and that was a home game ,,,,the fixtures for Benitez SHOULD have given him a great start ....now he really isup against it. I wonder how many of the team really want him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 We'll win tonight, and quite comfortably. Absolutely no pressure at all on us, so hopefully the team will be able to go and enjoy themselves. Score three or four (definitely possible regardless of our current state, notwithstanding el Useless), and it'll help the confidence a little bit. All the pressure is on Juventus tonight, who have to get a result at Shakhtar, which is no mean feat.However I entirely expect us to finish third in the group tonight - that being said just remembering what it feels like to win a game will be massive for the team.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 We'll win tonight, and quite comfortably.Hopefully the team aren't approaching this in the same way you are. Modern European football is way too tight for this kind of complacency and Nordsjaelland have given good accounts of themselves in most of their games. They gave us enough problems for 75 minutes of the first game to make me think they could pose us problems.Should we win? Absolutely. Should we have qualified from the group? Almost certainly. Should we have been able to hold a two-goal lead at home to Juventus? Without doubt.Nordsjaelland will want to go out with a bang and we are ripe for the picking right now.

On paper, we should beat them comfortably but going by recent form, it's not 100% certain. That's my point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFCRazor 49 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm debating whether or not to watch this match, we will win this match regardless and if not we don't even deserve to be in the champions league, I'm more interested in the make or break game that is Shakhtar V Juve. Have a feeling that this will be a rather exciting game, Willian has "said" that he is going to try is hardest to win tonight so that we can go through, as he thinks we are a great team and deserve to go further in the competition...Hopefully they can pull something out of the bag and lift us through. (I am rather confident that they will be able to do one over on them, considering they were able to get the draw in Juve's back yard, a win on home turn shouldn't be too much trouble).Either way, I have everything crossed. Butterflies have started already, and just hoping that we can get through. As it will be a more embarrassing story that City's if we don't manage to.

Watch your club rather than another club even if there result is essential to us. We are strong favourites but based on our recent luck anything is possible. Nordsjaealland r also a pretty good underdog they possess a nice style and I really believe we should sign Okore. We shouldn't presume that we've already won the game.
