That (vs Leicester) was one of the best atmospheres I remember at the CCS. To be fair I don't really remember any other games like the Leeds one not even the local derbies. Wales vs England was good until the match started!
I'd certainly take a narrow defeat with a performance that saw us compete for 80+ minutes. If Kompany was fit the only way I'd see us scoring would be via a 25 yard screamer. On Monday Newcastle couldnt even get the ball to stick us front he was so dominant. Without him we may be able to cause a few problems, but their front line is different class. Hope Dzeko brings those shooting boots though, if he'd taken his chances it would have been 7 or 8.
