I'm a 'Happy Clappy' person and when trying to say to Jnr the other day that big comebacks can happen, I used an example of Sheffield beating Feyenoord 5-0. I don't think that is a real example but they were the only 2 teams I could remember that were mentioned on threads after our drubbing at Roma. I'd be grateful for some real examples, that I'll try to remember.

When Barca beat PSG 6-1 Suarez scored in the 3rd minute. We have to be on Roma from the whistle on thursday. If we score early and get the atmosphere going I genuinely think we have a chance.

No one is actually thinking we could have a 5:0 ‘comeback’ against Roma on Thursday are they?! That wouldn’t be a ‘happy clappy comeback’, it’ll be a bleedin miracle me lovelies

I don’t remember all the matches mentioned above but I suspect most of them that came back from high goal scoring deficits were teams more or less either as least as good as the team they were trailing or better. We are not up to the level of Roma even on a good day, they are simply a better team - certainly not good enough to a/ keep a clean sheet and b/ to score 5 goals against them imo. They play an all round better game link up game than us and at a much faster past - they can be vulnerable in defence but we’d need a level of accuracy in our shooting to take advantage of that which is something we simply don’t possess imo. If Roma were having an off day, and we were having a good one and played at a level I k ow we can, we could maybe pull off a win but 5:0 is too much of a stretch for me
