Having spent some CONSIDERABLE time posting my last Blog entry and uploading pictures etc., I
hope you can appreciate that I only intend to do a short pre-Roma posting.
And with team news only trickling in and being speculative
at best, I’m not claiming this to be one of my most accurate predictions…
The team
Straight to it then really – predicted starting 11, subs
and outcome for Wednesday's game...
4-2-3-1:
_______________Dzeko_______________
___________________Fernandinho______
________Fernando____________________
________________Hart________________
Hart to continue in
net.
Before a couple of
days ago I have to admit that I wasn’t aware of Yaya
being suspended for this one. However, suspended he is and so Fernando and the
recovering Fernandinho to play centre stage.
Milner left, Samir
‘just behind’ and the pacy Navas on the right. Dzeko to start ahead of the
recovering (also) Jovetic.
Strong-looking bench
– in addition to Willy the defensive flanks are covered with Kolarov &
Sagna; with the extra option of Alek’s wing-play / crosses and free kicks.
Lampard to add his vast European experience and assist / goal threat and in
addition to Stevan being fit enough for the bench, I’m going for David to be
likewise.
Result? Although at home I think they will sit deep; defend in a very
organised way, try to draw us out and then hit us on the counter. It’ll be a
very close first half.
We need to score
first to stop them from deploying their plan to good effect and I think we WILL
score…eventually. Sadly I think they will also but as long as we can maintain a
score draw, we only need Bayern to beat CSKA at home to then go through. A
score draw it is then and, so, into the last 16 we go!
Domestic cup draw
Sheffield Wednesday at home
in the F.A. Cup isn’t a bad one…
