As usual I'll be supporting the Bhoys tonight, although I've got a real fed up feel about the start to the Euro campaign proper this season.
Saturday wasn't the first defeat from them, but it's the first time the crappy mood has lingered longer than a few hours.
The last couple of times (and even back to the semi-final defeat with Ronnie) I've brushed it off and just knew we'd come back stronger.
However, we've now only won 3 of the last 7 games against that bunch of pricks and one of our victories was the LC Final when we were distinctly second best!
If the board can't see a worrying pattern emerging then they really should go to Specsavers!
See? I can't even get through a post on a European thread without getting sidetracked to last weekend.
Anyway, back to tonight. I'd obviously love to see us get something from the game but how we're going to be able to open up AC Milan is a mystery. We have to start with a back 4 otherwise things could get really fkin messy.
What personnel we should use is no longer and issue for me. Get people that are 100% fired up and ready to run through walls. No one else should even be considered. Welsh stays in for me as does Laxalt and Ajeti and Griff are surely going to be crucial at some point tonight. I'd bin Duffy and go with Welsh and Ajer in the middle of a back 4, unless Jullien is fit. I've avoided ALL news on the squad since Saturday so I really don't have a clue who's fit or not.
