Time to look forward people. The Greek side might look to be one of the biggest threats to our out of form Blues europa Goblet aspirations but there are causes to be optimistic.
Greek sides are notoriously poor on the road, Larissa anyone? They drew 0-0 with AEK at the end of last season. AEK themselves lost to Romanian side FC Vaslui 2-1 before overcoming them 3-0 at home. Domestically they have had two 1-0 wins against lesser league lights and sit third.
We will bemoan the Goblet and it's impact on the players at some point this season guaranteed but at the moment the opportunity to gain some confidence without more valuable league points at stake. Only with confidence will the hoofball be consigned to the locker for Yobo and friends. Nevilles injury will probably rule him out and that could be a blessing in disguise.
Whoever comes in will surely be more progressive in their passing. I'd love to see Billy come in and Osman move to the middle with Rodwell. If Saha shakes off his knock *checks for flying pigs* he surely starts but if not at least we are at home if Moyes goes with Jo. I hope Fellaini starts too with Cahill getting a rest despite his goal. I can see the big lad causing the Athenians all sorts of problems.
2-0 Fellaini, Osman COYB!!
