Pato and Inzaghi (Bless his old boots) are out, one for two games, the other for the season.

If it were last year, we'd be playing one-dimensional football with the balls being chipped long for Borri to chase. My how times change. We now have two quite able deputies in Ibra and Binho to fill in for the above two.
If we play Seedorf/Pirlo/A motivated Ronnie up in the Trequartista role, with Flams, Ambro and Prince biting and tackling in the middle, I don't see why we can't take everything from this game.

Merda's crisis isn't getting better, and even with anemic Wesley back, I don't think it should be that difficult to contain them.

The only problem which we seem to have..... is that when we face big teams with depleted rosters, we tend to do quite poorly. I seriously hope we don't flail like we did with Juve this time around, because its games like these where we stamp our mark on a season.
