Half time...

First off I have to say, like it or not, but Rijkaard has really put together a nice system there at Barca. The players, especially in midfield, all seem to be in the right at the right time when going forward. When retreating they always cut the space down well and deflect away important passes.

Yes, they have created better chances and it seems like we're having to play their game, but all we need is POISE going forward. The open spaces are there for us to exploit, we just need to make crisper runs and even better passes, we're just one precise pass away from putting the ball on net.

I honestly don't know if we'll get through with the current scheme right now. Carlo needs to field the Christmas Tree and drop Pippo in favor of Rui Costa, who is the exact man we need to serve up the killer ball in close quarters.

But it's not over yet, folks. We can do this.
