That all sounds fine and dandy, and it'd be a dream to see us attacking Real from the outset and beating them 3-0 away, but it's a very risky tactic. We played well against Udinese, but they also had some attacking chances that they wasted against us. No disrespect meant to Udinese, but I think Real are much more capable of punishing our errors. IMO Capello will probably take the defensive approach and field the usual predictable 4-4-2. I'd love to see us pegging Madrid back in their own stadium, with Nedved DP and Zlatan giving Samuel and co hell, but somehow I don't think it'll happen :down:
