Which Final will be Harder? | Poll Added

[waspish]

Champions League.

A lot of us may think we have won it already in beating Madrid but Inter will be a very tough game.

A very good side on the counter and a master of the Italian art of defending.

This is a title our club MUST win to be able to dine at the top table.

Thing is we used to team parking the bus against us and we have had better attacks than there’s against us in the premier!

I just think Kev and Erling take the game completely away from them, such is their big game quality.

Our main worry needs to be at set-pieces, so take care of the ball and allow them to sit in and defend.

We can smother their counters with Walker and Rodders.

The only team that will beat us is ourselves. Play like we did against Bayern, Arsenal and Madrid and we will beat the Rags and Inter. Any drop off an we could lose either or both of those games.

Italian defending is not just parking the bus, it's far more than that, like said they make it an art form.

I just hope the last three dead rubbers in the PL will not have taken away our edge, although Saturday's game against the Rags could be a blessing to get us back up to speed.

If we start both finals at a high intensity, moving the ball quickly we will be all over both of these teams.
Then it’s down to taking chances
Both of them will try to play on the counter as they can’t play passing football.
We need to do what we did to Madrid and be all over them
It’s two finals, if we can’t get ourselves up for these them we shouldn’t win anyway
We play to our best and we should win

These guys have beat AC Milan, benfica and Porto to get there
They were beat twice by Bayern Munich, who for me are they only top side they have played
They haven’t played a team as good as us all season So when they do I think they will struggle

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

It'll be interesting to see how Inter start the game. They did the damage early on against AC, effectively winning the tie. Looks like they did similar against Atalanta yesterday too. I wonder if they'll trying to hit us early and back themselves to defend an early goal if they get one. That strategy is not without risk, as it could leave them open to us counter attacking them and scoring early ourselves. Should be a fascinating tactical battle, but if we can come close to replicating the performances v Bayern and Madrid, I think we'll have too much for them.

3. Rags have better individual quality.

 

[chesterbells]

Imagine being in the position to be leaving Wembley upset at losing to that shite, but then telling yourself you play a Champions League final in seven days time?

That's how far we have left these cunts behind.

The Treble ain't a thing, it's only a thing because United need it to still be.

'City are failures because they only won the Premier League title and Champions League!'

This. A million percent. The idea that a PL (third on bounce) and the CL double represents some kind of “failure”.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Inter by far, I will be fuming if we don’t put 3 or 4 pass the shit.
