Re: Pre/During/Post Match Thread | MD4 UEFA CL | FC Viktoria Plzeň v FC Barcelona | 01 November 2011 Not as big a loss as you would think for two reasons: Adriano has been on fire lately and seems to be even better at RB than LB; and Cuenca if he is played up front at RW gives us real width up there and means the RB doesn't have to go forward quite as much. Or perhaps Sanchez can do the same if he starts - he certainly is familiar with Milan from his Serie A days.
Re: Pre/During/Post Match Thread | MD4 UEFA CL | FC Viktoria Plzeň v FC Barcelona | 01 November 2011 We don't change times (from daylight savings back to standard) on the same date anymore. Europe and US/Canada have been a week apart since 2007.
