We need to be better at counter attacking tomorrow. Is a really weak part of our game this season. So many wasted opportunities, 3 on 3, 3 on 2, even a 4 on 2 was cocked up!
I don't think we can be arrogant with our CL record to be fair... Its hardly news that we tend to play worse in CL than in the league. For example we failed to beat Lyon in two matches.
Not that our CL record is terrible but its not great either.
All the teams you meet in the Champions League have special players and you cannot control every moment. We can make a mistake and the opponent can exploit it, or they can do something special themselves and score a goal, and the game goes beyond you. This is a step up from the Premier League and the opponents can raise their game and be inspired so of course a game can go away from you in ten minutes.that is completely the wrong mentality to have. I would say the reason we don't win in the CL is that we are not arrogant enough and play like scared pussies most of the time.
VAR this seasonDon't know why but I have this bad feeling that this CL tie will be the same like the Dippers last year where we will lose because of referee mistakes. Hope I am wrong.
Why would it be hell for leather? they are not dippersFingers crossed mate, but I think we'll be on the end of a 2-1 defeat. My reason for this being player exhaustion, because this is going to be a hell for leather kind of game and I don't think we'll manage that for 90 mins. Hope I'm proved totally wrong though.
They will come out wanting to kill the game off in the first twenty minutes Karen, that's why I think we'll be on the back foot for large parts of the game. Could be pretty similar to last season's game at Liverpool in the champs league, the tempo that is.Why would it be hell for leather? they are not dippers
If they come at us fom the off that's better for us,thye are nowhere near as gungho as the dippers,they know we have their number usually,it will be nothing like the dippers and they are perinial bottlers as wellThey will come out wanting to kill the game off in the first twenty minutes Karen, that's why I think we'll be on the back foot for large parts of the game.
