Does anyone else agree with this theory....
....a 0-0 in the first leg [away] is a £#%&!ing iffy scoreline?
i mean, we drew 0-0 with barca last night, which on first appearance is not too shabby, but thinking about it, all they need to do is shut up shop for 90 minutes and nick a jammy goal and we're £#%&!ed.... my mate looked at me as if i was £#%&!ing crackers when i pointed that out, but i reckon barca will be more happy with that scoreline than us.... i can just see us conceeding from a deflected shot or 40 yard daisy cutter 80 minutes in and us crashing out.... hope i'm wrong, though... |

as a coach, i'd be tempted to actually play for a 0-0 in the first leg, if my team was at home first.... pressure on the opposition for the second leg... |

So if we had drawn at home 0-0 would you be happy? Would you think we could go to Barca and get a score draw or a win? That is what they are facing. It was a shite performance yesterday but we will not repeat it on Tuesday. We may not go through but we will play better and have a better chance. |

i wasn't complaining about the score, rain man... i was one of the few people who actually thought barcelona were still a handy side and that they could still win the cup... i was just saying tactically it would make sense to play for a 0-0 in barcelona's case... |

We have now basically turned this game into a one legged game and we are at home. As somebody pointed out earlier today in the 7 home games this season against top opposition we have won every one. If we cant beat Barca at home we dont deserve to win it. Either way I'd take a win over Chelski on Saturday - that the true test of a teams quality. |

It's like Groundhog Day on here. Armchair's topped himself by now, probably.
As I keep on saying, I can see Henry getting a goal. It's so £#%&!ing obvious I'd need to put money on it for it not to happen. We need to score twice, easy. Treat it as a league game and we're rocking. Treat it as a tactical European battle between two footballing heavy weights and our arses will go and we'll lose. |

0-0 away in a first leg - £#%&!. I have already laid United for £100. |

We could've scored a hell of a lot earlier last night than Carrick managed in the 7-1 game. For some reason people - negative people - have the impression that the mood of a game is set in the dressing room. But as true as that often is, a hell of a lot more often it is set by what happens on the pitch. Football is played by humans, after all. |

I think playing the Away leg 1st is a massive disadvantage, always have done.
You know what is required at their ground, and a game can be won in the first few minutes as a result. If it was the 2nd leg last Wednesday following a 0-0 at OT in the 1st leg and we got a penalty in the 2nd minute, you know he scores and it;s game over. Also, away 2nd leg, if it goes to Extra time, you have an extra 30 minutes and only have to score 1/2 as many as your opposition. It's £#%&!ed up. |
