Navas boo boys can fuck right off, looks the most likely to create something.

Dave and Jovetic for Milner and Dzeko please. Push Nasri left and drop Dave in behind Jovetic.

He's been shite, complete and utter shite.

 

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

Making a shit crap of 90 years old with the likrs of totti keita and co looks world beaters !!

Something never going to change !! Depressing

You do know we've got our FOUR best players out don't you?

In regards to fans like you you are right somethings NEVER change.

Roma to take lead but Jovetic will come on and grab us a draw. "PLEASE" (If CSKA get beat obviously)

Need more in the final third. A shaky first 10 minutes but we need to punish Roma when they give away cheap possesion in their half. Keep it 0.0 till 65 mins then BIG Dave will come on with the key to unlock the door.

So far so good, we only need one goal ffs, Silva for the last 20 minutes C'mon we fucking need this

Personally, I don't know if Silva is the answer. Nasri is playing really well and should be given longer. Dzeko had too many chances with no end product, but he's actually been decent when dropping back and playing some simple passes. Lamps seems the obvious answer for me; we're making a lot of chances and just need someone to get on the end of them, Frank is always in the best positions. Jovetic has earnt a chance too.

Overall, not a bad half. I'm surprised how attacking Roma have been, cause really, if they score, it doesn't change much. We need to score regardless so.. I think, with the way that first half played out, we can hope for a 1-1 quite realistically. Fingers crossed, and I hope Nando, Nasri, and Milner can keep it up.

Silva could come on for Navas. As for Roma attacking, they can't rely on Bayern beating CSKA.

souness is spot on

 

[dobobobo]

Noone gona mention the wrongly disallowed goal

The goal wasn't disallowed.

 

[Wio Gumflapdinand]

Think we are playing game in to their hands. Slow tempo and lack of high pressing they are happy with all day long.

Poor for the first 10-15 minutes, much the better side since. Bit more quality and/or conviction in the final third and we'd be ahead.

Assuming it stays as it is, will be interesting to see when the subs are made. I suspect Lampard will be first on, probably for Milner; Jovetic and Silva to follow.

Navas is, as ever, proving frustrating. Gives the ball away so cheaply at times, makes the wrong decision far too often. But also always looks like posing a threat, and has put through/in a couple of great balls/crosses. If we are still chasing it, I'd be slightly loathe to bring him off.
