MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 We need to practice our counterattacks. And we need more than only just costa, hazard and oscar going forward to attack. That way our counters will be more fluid.That is if he shows any intention of doing that at all, could be Liverpool/City this season, Atletico away all over again. Link to post Share on other sites
dr_congo 0 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I wonder if Cuadrado will start? He has never played Champions League football (he has played Europa League albeit) and only 1 full game for us. It'd be a mistake for us to chuck him in here imo.I hope I get to see him but share your worries a little. Either they could start with him and take him off if he doesn't do well. Or bring him on in the 2nd half if we've got the game controlled. If there are doubts about him it's better to start with him or not use him at all. It's more important to end the game well than to start it well. You shouldn't put too much pressure on him too soon. Link to post Share on other sites

LAB 1,030 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nope. Counter attack=City away last season, bus parking=this season same fixture.Yup. That's what I meant. != stands for "not equal" Link to post Share on other sites
Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It will be a cagey and dull game but probably a nervous one at the same time. I hope we go for it intelligently. They killed barca through counter attacking, when they play possession based their threat is different and way more manageable. I hope we set out to be a really fierce counter attacking team rather than simply defensive. I think we could win the tie tonight with a 2/3-0 win Link to post Share on other sites

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If Cesc and Oscar are out, I can see Jose choose the kind of squad below. Costa Hazard Willian Remy Matic Ramires Azpi Ivan Terry Zouma CechI do not believe Jose will pick Cuadrado to the XI so what other choices do we really have? That team would definitely be set up for the counter. We played good football against Everton with a squad full of speedsters. Only problem we had was that Cesc was out so creativity in midfield was non-existent. With Remy and Costa, we could seriously challenge their backline with intelligent runs, knowing that certain Luiz is there to cause all kinds of problems (for Thiago Silva).

Stingray 9,441 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 As opposed to Tibo flapping at crosses against Aston villa?Which illustrates every keeper has those - even WC ones.

Special Juan 26,205 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm not worried about either keeper who is selected. But I don't think Cech deserves to be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites

I could pick out Sporting Lisbon away and conclude that Costa is a terrible finisherwas not the city goal from a ball in the box too.we have 2 very good GKs with one in excellent form and the other making more mistakes in 2 matches than in the whole 3 years with ATM. i gave the aston villa match as an example since you so kindly pointed out one of cech's a year earlier.
