I don't buy the bullshit about the Chievo game. Infact I thank GOD for the Chievo game, we only played them because Serie A was still postponed. So if we had played the Lecce fixture it would've been 2 games on the table with 0 points! Because there was no way we were beating Lecce with tactics and influence we were under. It wasn't going to happen!
The preseason games against Milan and City should've been eye openers for even the staunchest defenders in Assp's-Army ( I just created that myself just now,I'm pretty proud ). How could those displays possibly fill anyone with confidence? Unless they were a football novice, or started watching the sport in June...Anyways, enough derailing, back on track.
For the CL game.
