It's going to be real hard to get something of tonight's game, I'm afraid. We will hand Bale's arse to them, as he is our only real creative outlet. Hope Modric steps up and show what a goalscoring midfield machine he can be, and that Ade will make himself worthy of his wages tonight. I also think we will miss Lennon more than VdV, they only have to double up on our left, and all of our attacking play have to go through the middle. We really, really could do with more proper backups on our wingers.
Even if I'll await the confirmed line-up, heart says scrappy 1-2 win for us, but head says we'll be thoroughly beaten. I'll also bet my sorry arse that Carroll and Suarez is going to get at least one each, and a red card to us to top things off. Go prove me wrong, lads.
