Right.
Hangover? Check. Sweaty breakfast barm? Check. Renewed sense of misguided optimism? Check.
We acquitted ourselves fantastically last night. Obvious praise to be heaped on De Gea, Jones and Welbeck who for me, was man of the match by a country mile. To be honest, I expected De Gea to do well so it wasn't really a surprise. I have to say that Jonny Evans could now be our new first-choice centre-half. Rio and Vidic can alternate partnering him. Kagawa looked a little out of his depth. I'd like to see Cleverley pit his wits against Alonso et al in the return leg.
The second leg concerns me a great deal. It's clear that Madrid prefer playing on the counter which they were unable to do last night. Old Trafford will be a different proposition. We are bound to have a bit more of the ball and inevitably will push forward during these periods. We'll have to be extremely careful of their threat on the break.
Yeah, to be honest I never hear any criticism of David De Gea on EOFF. It's more aimed at the majority of football fans outside of this forum... who admittedly will never read a word of what I say. Still, I feel better inside.Originally Posted by Psychotic
Never in a million years. I reckon 2-2 or more hopefully... 3-2 Utd. If it's 0-0 I'll post a picture of me dressed like a Spanish slut being dominated by Ronaldo.
EDIT: Took me ages to write that but I agree with pretty much everything BoB said. It's good though that Welbeck is a versatile forward like Rooney. They were both out of position last night but you have to admit, it worked like a treat.
