Unirea (a) Match Thread

[Shanks]

Babel's last two or three have been much better and he's earned his place, Aquilani no way deserves to be in the side at the moment.

Well it ain't gonna get much better if he isn't getting games.

[Pablo]

Who've we got next then chaps?

[Chris]

Nah, Hamburg are through.

Lille or Fener next.

[Vermilion]

Job needed doing...job done....stepped on to the banana skin there at the start... but didn't slip.

[Armchairkopite]

Good win, think Lucas deserves a mention again, he seemed to be everywhere.

Babel gives the opposition something else to think about plus he tracked back. If he can get over his wobbles he may just make it yet.

oh... due to win at home?

[Armchairkopite]

Yeah he doesn't make good enough runs, or enough runs full stop.

Yep, being saying this for a while he drops deep way too often, with his pace he should be playing off the shoulder, he still has time to develop a lot further although you would think spinning off the shoulder of the last defender would be natural for his game.

I'd happily take Fulham..

Not far to travel and we know what we are up against.

We've got Fenerbahce or Lille

Also I've just found out the next round is the quarter finals - had no idea.

I can see the benefits of a home country tie, but there are easier teams out there at this stage of the comp, so i'd rather another gimme if that's possible, untill we get back to a bit better form atleast and maybe have a fit Torres too.

Edit. Shaggys above post pretty much nullifys mine.

Thought it was the last 16 next?

That's what I thought but I just read somewhere (can't remember!) last 8. There seems to be loads of teams left in it, must be last 16.

[fah-q]

Im confused now.

[Mattshark]

I still can't work out this whole Aquilani situation.

Why wouldn't you want to start a player who needs games and confidence, in a match like this?

Because that pitch is an injury waiting to happen that's why.

[Shaggy]

Ignore me, it's last 16.
