Too big a game, and he has mainly impressed as a sub. -- All of life's problems can be solved with two things - duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't, you need duct tape. And if it doesn't move and it should, you need WD40. *Unknown

Inter were made to look third rate.

Too big a game, and he has >mainly impressed as a sub. After reading SAF latest comments on the match I am inclined to agree with you. I'd still like to see a 4-4-2 but doubt it will happen.

That's the same group stage where some Russian team beat Barcelona is it? Nobody is invincible! But I did see the 0-0 game in Italy where Inter pretty much stopped them playing, although Barcelona looked fairly poor that night too. But Jose will try and stop them playing again, bully them and frustrate them, as opposed to trying to play like them. So Barcelona will not get as much space as Arsenal gave them in the two QF matches. Whether Inter have improved enough since September to do any more remains to be seen, as Barcelona are obviously the better team. But the group games will have no bearing on the Semi-Final. |
