So Zenit at home

I don't have much confidence that we can do this without Sturridge.

Nor me, we seem to have become a one man band, and the band is Sturridge. Not solely on goalscoring, just getting the rest of the frontline working the right way.
I think we'll win tonight, but I think an away goal is going to knobble us.
 
I think they will score. They know that one goal for them and it's over. They also know that we will have to come at them and they will be class on the break. I can see us losing 2-1.
As for those 'fans', it must be weird to live your entire life in the 1980's in a concrete shithole. Twats.
 
I think we can do it. in the away leg we had chances to score but just didn't take it. so we know how to open them up. Before sturridge we still managed to score goals so we can do it again. Just our chances will be slimmer if he starts with lucas, allen and henderson in midfield. No point having gerrard further forward if the ball never reaches him and he has to drop deep to get it. That midfield trio would be awful for creativity.
 
They're not brilliantly defensively either. We can do this. We just have to patrol the space between the defence and midfield more vigorously, because that's where they're really effective. Their movement and short passing in the final third is decent.

Realistically we're going to need Suarez to have a stormer.
 
Allen should be nowhere near the starting line up for this one. Allen right now should be treated as youth and coming on in games where we are already up 3-0 with 20 mins to go to get his confidence back up.

He'll be a nervous wreck, they'll sniff him out as our weakness.
 
As a matter of principal, I shall refer to tonights opposition as Zenit Leningrad, and not submit to this reformist St Petersburg crap
 
I'll be keeping a close eye on Allen especially. I last week declared him a massive shithouse but I've calmed since then - Maybe he's just little shithouse now.
 
Last time we played really well and were unlucky to lose 2-0 so I reckon this time we'll play really well and will be unlucky to lose 2-0.
