Well I don't expect us to go all out attack tomorrow, unless we want to get ripped apart.

This will be one of the few games this year where we have less of the ball so I'm interested to see how we cope.

Also interested to see how we cope with their pressing when we're knocking the ball across the backline.

Urgh, 'Parking the Bus' is probably the most annoying of modern football cliches. What do people expect when they allow some multi-billionaire to come in and treat their club like a toy, spending hundreds of millions on the world's best football players? That other teams should just come and treat them like bloody normal?! **** that, I'm glad if teams go to these places and 'park the bus' and ruin all the entertainment. Serves the gloryhunters right.

Need to be neat and tidy with possession today like we were against Inter and keep it tight at the back. Our other problem today will be Clattenburg who we know has a less than positive history with us.

Scoring will again be our challenge - so, at best, we might get a nil-all draw.
 
As long as the camera is on Mark Clattenburg and not the game he should be ok....................who am I trying to kid <laugh>

Its the only televised game at that time - he will not be able to resist doing something to make sure he gets some headlines - most probably to our cost.

He bottled it last season when he did the Spurs v Chelsea game where he should have sent off players.......hope he gets the big decisions right today.....and as you say doesn't cost us.

Oh come off it. That was a bitch of a game to referee. He didn't see the Dembele incident and booked virtually everyone on the pitch. Yes there should have been a red card but you can't send someone off if you don't see the incident.

I'm just saying that people a lot more qualified than anyone on here (myself included) have the opinion that Clattenburg is a top referee. 3 finals in the space of 2 months is not blind luck.

Actually - you were not writing that at all. You were being somewhat petulant and abusive. Had you articulated your views rather than resorting the vitriol you expressed; I actually find it quite perplexing that you can behave this way and be a referee - the latter requires a measure of maturity and levelheadedness... which is sadly lacking in your posts. You have alienated a lot of people on this site - am happy to be added to that list.

I wasn't being abusive at all. And I haven't really alienated a lot of people either.
