4-1
That would be the most painful, especially if it was 4-0 at 89 minutes.Originally Posted by Grimandi's Perm
In an ideal world, we'd chuck some kids on, rest Van Persie and whatever other key players we have left and just bend over. But we'll probably end up trying because of the fear of our fans calmly voicing their discontent at the final whistle in a civilised manner.
If we were 4-0 at full time (OK, OK) then I think we would be in good shape to go on and win the tie. AC Milan might do another Istanbul (or almost Newcastle-Arsenal) and after a big lead halfway through, allow the other team to draw level, killing the confidence and panicking to defeat.
I'm not willing to take that risk. We should try to go 9-0 up just in case.
It will be a strange atmosphere, especially if we aren't at least leading at HT. If it becomes evident that we don't even have a 2% chance, then the players better not misplace any passes because they'll be gassed otherwise.
Oh - I'd play the kids. We are written off, no-one expects us to go through, Wenger's first choice players are dead or just drifting and the youngsters would at least have a go. And the Meeeeeeelan people would not have a dossier on how they play so they would be lesss prepared. (I think that was why we used to do OK in the first few rounds of the CC, playing 'who the fuck is that' in the midfield).
Don't be ridiculous - 9-0? It will be 8-0 tops.
