You were right. They pretty much did run out of ideas. Our subs made us more solid.Quote:

Just wanted to get that in before Sir C comes along.
WES was blubbing like a child watching Doctor Who - I thought I might have to give him a hug :-DQuote:

I think it was our subs that made the difference. The extra energy got us up the pitch and we pressed better, kept the ball away from our third.
Absolutely - none of that sitting back and waiting for death like cats in a bag - take the fight to the enemy. They couldn't cope.Quote:

That's the fabled squad depth. All I know is we were really on the back foot until they made their final change and suddenly we had more of the ball.Quote:

Which means this summer he'll spend over 50 mil on yet another LB. How many have me had since KT signed?
As MLS is now a midfield genius, we do need another defender :-)Quote:

Just prepare yourselves.
I wouldn't be too sure about that. Bayern have a great chance of getting through tonight....Quote:
