David Platt talking about the lack of width in the squad. Sounds like theyre going for it in the second half.

Much as I love Roberto he has made a mistake with picking the wrong fullbacks

Zabaleta and Kolarov were always going to be our CL full backs as they're not as quick as Micah and Clichy, and CL is usually played at a slower pace. Napoli's breaks are completely out of the ordinary.

We need to close down Hamsik as soon as he gets the ball, he switches play brilliantly
 
Fantastic first half, just fantastic football all round. 2 top quality sides playing as it their lives depended on it. They are devastating on the counter so I would resist the temptation to go for a change to micah or clichy. Whilst Napoli are set up as a back 3 they are essentially playing as a back 5. They are funneling us off the flanks into the centre are are defending really well one one one.

For me quicker movement from the back and a counter-counter is the key. Very happy so far
 
Nasri-AJ, and/or Dzeko-Tevez changes in around 65-70. minutes.

We have to win this match.
 
It's an absolute MUST we win ALL our home games, especially in our strong group. That's what the Champions League group stages are all about, win at home, draw away!

If we don't win all our home games I cannot see us getting to the last 16.

What are you talking about?!?!? Napoli play a very narrow formation and exploiting the vacated space out wide is crucial....
