    When I saw 'starting XI' I closed my eyes and named that exact team as my preferred line up. Rare there isn't one decision I'm unsure of! :50:

    This is one of those nights that really matters. I dont want us to have a MON type record of some great CL nights but ultimately being nearly men for the last 16. This team now has a better average standard of player than the one that WGS had when he got 2 last 16s so there is no reason why we cant do it. However, it is not as experienced a group of players and I have always worried most about this game. I would be worried if we lost this one but a draw would probably be enough. Somehow though I think there are going to be a few goals tonight.

    That line up looks like we are going for a draw to mee. That is about as defensive a MF as we could put out. Obviously going to try and hit on the break and set pieces. However, I think its sensible because their movement off the ball is far better than ours and if we played open we would get picked off on the break IMO.
