We take on Bate Borisov tonight.
Much has been made of our poor start to the campaign and we have another chance tonight to slowly build back the form which rightly enabled us claim the Scudetto last term.
In spite of the poor start to Serie A,its been pretty smooth sailing in Europe so far.That hard fought draw at Camp Nou preceeding the 2-0 victory over Plzen,and there's no reason to expect anything less tonight.Saturday's trouncing of Palermo puts the squad in very high spirits,and hopefully they will carry out another satisfactory job tonight.
PERSONELL:Gattuso is suspended,though he's injured so he wouldn't have played anyway.Flamini is the only long term absentee;Ambrosini,Thiago Silva,and Seedorf are all out whilst Pato's situation isn't all that clear,though he should definitely make the squad for the game this weekend.Inzaghi and El Shaarawy aren't part of the squad for this competition.Here's the list of players called up for the game:
Abbiati,Amelia,Abate,Antonini,Bonera,De Sciglio,Mexes,Nesta,Taiwo,Zambrotta, Yepes,Aquilani,Boateng,Emanuelson,Nocerino,Van Bommel,Cassano,Ganz,,Ibrahimovic,Robinho.
There's no doubt Barcelona would hammer Viktoria in the other game,and we need a victory to keep up with them.There's no need for a big score,that's Barca's specialty,we just need to keep up with them till the showdown at San Siro were we can slug it out for top spot.Good luck to the boys and here's to hoping for a win.
My Projected Line-up
(4-3-1-2):Abbiati-Abate,Mexes,Nesta,Taiwo-Aquilani,van Bommel,Nocerino-Boateng-Robinho,Ibrahimovic
