I think people need to remember that we are babies in this competition. Me and the Mrs are sat here arguing that very point, shes a rag btw.
Mancinis record makes me question if we can or cant do anything at this level, but I,ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now because of the inexperience we have in the champions league. It will come.
Few things from tonight, I thought over 90 mins we were better than Madrid, just. That makes me proud. I also think we have seen tonight why bobby doesnt start Dzeko, for the first 45 mins he offered nothing. His first touch, his general awareness and his lack of movement has proved mancinis point. He looks clumsy. He was better in the second half but I,ll stand by my opinion, Carlos should have started. Edins only defence is we dont play with any width, and his biggest asset is in the air. We dont put balls in the box, and if you put him in a decent german side, im sure he would do well. He likes the eastern european way of playing, he did well with it and thats why we signed him, but we are not eastern european and imo it was a bad signing.
Also, David silva in that second half was fucking epic. An utterly quality pro/player and Im sure, this summer that Madrid barca will be sniffing. His touch, his movement, his strength for a little man, unreal. Most of all, his vision to pick a pass, hes back. Best midfielder on the park and that includes ronaldo.
