TIME TO STAND UP AND FIGHT
After that horror show in Milan, we are up against Sunderland yet again, this time for the FA Cup. With that kind of shitty performance, we can wave the Champions League farewell for this season. I would sum up with four words:
WE DIDN'T TURN UP
It seemed as if we were playing in fear. There was no sign of confidence anywhere. It was as if the whole team got affected by 'Arshavinitis'. We made simple mistakes, were clueless with the ball(it hardly crossed the halfway line), didn't cover for each other, didn't track the opposition well and didn't move around the pitch to be available to receive a pass. It was a shambles.
So with the only possible chance of silverware to play for this season, we better turn up tonight.
