Excited but nervous COYS!
And yet they couldn't score from open play against our rabble of a defence.What gives me confidence is that Juve have to score. If we were a goal down, I’d be extremely nervous.
So providing we don’t start in the same ‘deer in headlights’ fashion and conceding early on, then the scoreline going into the game suits us fine.
Very much in the same way as our group games vs Madrid and Dortmund (Liverpool in the league also), teams that come out to attack are very susceptible to our excellent counter attacking game.
Also, I’m hoping that the fact that Allegri has slagged off our defensive capabilities again, this time claiming we are worse than Lazio (stats do not back this up), I’m hoping this will be the motivation for our defensive unit to prove a point and remain solid, with no silly errors.
Roll on tonight! COYS!
I find that knocking one out helps me.I'm on the way to work. I've already got butterflies. How am I meant to get through the next 13 hours?
I hope that we learned from the start of the away leg.Sounds good in theory, but that's what Allegri tried to do when they went 2-0 up in the first leg. They invited pressure and we boxed them in with the high press.
I always think we're worse when teams really press us. If I was Allegri I would attack, the first goal will change the game and it might not be something we're expecting.
You knocked out a butterfly?I find that knocking one out helps me.
A Polish guy I know tells me tonight's ref is quite whistle happy around the box, and is known for it in Poland.
@Hoddle_LedgeAnyone got a spare ticket???
