Meelan....Preview

It was or is a where were you moment. The moment that will pass into the annuals of history as momentous, the moment Gordon Strachan tried to convince the world press that Chris Killen is a fitba’ player due to what he does in training. Classic Strachan indeed.

The Milan players have been very nice aboot us, as their classico full back Oddo states we can qualify for the last sixteen wie Milan. I think he seems to forget that if we get beat tonight and the other result goes the way of Shakther then oor hopes of qualification are so far south the penguins in the Falklands are playing keepy uppy wie it.

Defeat tonight and a win for Benfica, means we go into match day 3 looking for oor first points and not only playing against Benfica but also playing against oor king kong sized monkey on oor back away record. If this scenario has entered the realms of possibility tonight at 10pm then oot of Europe before Halloween is a possibility.

It is wie this in mind that even if Naka is on 90% fit he must play. Strachan was right to speak aboot Kaka in the terms genius, i would ask anyone to find a better midfield in Europe than Pirlo, Rino, Seedorf and Kaka, and while Naka is not Kaka he is the only player that can open up games at CL level.

While his CL performances have been, eh, terrible and anonymous to say the least, his ability from dead ball and crossing from open play ability is the reason and the only reason he should be on the park. It disnny matter if he does sod all for 89mins in that one split second he can open up the play give us that chance.

After the inept in Donetsk the midfield tonight will need to take some of Donati’s brave pills if his “revenge” mission is to be complete. A better performance, both on and off the park, than Donetsk is a must if any sort of result is to be attained. I’m away to take some of Donati’s brave pills as i’ve just read Glenn Gibbons in the Scotsman forcasting Sno......oh dear....
