LAM09 7,062 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 If it's at the Bridge, I would be confident of us beating United. But it's at Old Trafford and I don't trust this lot to go there and beat them, especially if we take a battering from Barcelona just few days before that.I'm hoping for a decent showing at home against a beatable Barcelona.

Man Utd - 62 pts Liverpool - 60 pts Spurs - 58 pts Chelsea - 53 pts Can't believe I'm saying this but getting out of Europe might be the best thing and need the other 3 to go as far as possible. Don't think Liverpool and Spurs, in particular, have the squad to cope with both competitions. Right on bud, I was pilloried for saying this a week ago.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Good response to poor results, the performance wasn't so important but the result was. I thought Christensen and Azpilicueta were excellent and Hazard was just a pure joy to watch. Good debut for Giroud, held up really well on a number occasions, should of scored but got through a lot of dirty work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Don't want to piss on our chips but if Sturridge had been on he would have buried that chance from Victor's mistake. I wouldn't have been 100% confident we would have come back from that. Noticeable that Courtois was hitting the ball long looking for Giroud which is fine by me especially when Cahill is playing.

Not sure what it looked on TV but from my view Zappa was so wide he was almost off the pitch when the ball was on the right.. He played well, should be 1st choice RWB for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well, should be 1st choice RWB for me I also think he played well and is a good player, but as a right foot he naturally turns inwards and that slows our play and limits our space on the side which is why hazard scored both goals coming from the right. Pedro often had to stay wide on the left in order to create width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can trust this lot who did it at Wembley vs Spurs and almost did it at Anfield and the Emirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,062 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 You do know Barcelona has not been beaten all season in any competition so far right?I know but they are a different side under Valverde. Failed to beat Getafe at home with a full strength squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to add that in the 2008-09 season we were the only side to deny Barca from scoring at home in all competitions. I know there's a difference in quality between now and then but this fixture has been tight the last 3 times it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I don't care if they beat us. I do care if we do into the game and play like it's over from the start. The way we have sometimes like ooo they have the ball.. Oh well.. Oh look they scored... Let's stroll merrily along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,543 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 much needed win. when Cahill came on,the comfort level dropped for me even at 3-0 up against the worst team in the division. ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
