We still scored 7 in 6 games, others scored at the very minimum double that, some nearly 20. These are our competition in these playoffs, attack wins games, and most of them have been more proficient attacking teams then us.

Well that's what I'm saying though. We spent half the group not scoring while playing in a formation that we no longer play in. I think it's reasonable to say we would have scored more goals using the 4-3-1-2 throughout the whole group stage.

Thats an exception, not the rule, in competitions like the CL the best attacks prevail, atleast being proficient enough at it, for example Atletico are very defensive, but still excellent at scoring. Chelsea's Di Matteo bunkered up and hoped for the best, and relied on a top class Drogba to carry them offensively as he did. Thats more rare then the alternative of just outscoring your opponents (which Chelsea did anyways, but still lol).

You're right. I'm changed my mind and I'm with you now - Pirlo playing is the right call. He's going to decide this game in our favour by generally dictating the match. Forza Andrea!

I've also got a good feeling about Vidal in this game. I think he'll come out all guns blazing and have his best game of the season.
