Season Breaking Match? Man Utd Away CL

Within a few hours we will know if we still are in with a chance to win the longed-for yet tainted “Ol Big Ears”. This is going to be a tough, tense game but Ancelotti has to break from his normal cautiousness and go for it a bit – look for some creativity…unpredictability.
Benayoun came on against Wigan and immediately livened things up. Certainly Torres seems to work well with him although it should be noted, that at long last, there was some substantial interaction between the Spaniard and Drogba beforehand (the reasons for the lack of combination has much been discussed in pre-match pubs and written about here - see link below).
Still…enough of that for the moment…
Torres will start so it might well mean Anelka will play alongside him or out wide…or even out wide and replace Malouda? But Ancelotti has bench Benayoun so hopefully will put him on. I suspect that when he does run out on the turf at Old Trafford then he will make an impact.
The tie is still finely in the balance. Should they score first it doesn’t actually change our situation THAT much – we would still have to score 2 goals to win anyway. Should we score first then it would really put the cat amongst the pigeons – Man Utd would then know that, for the remaining match time, one more goal from us would give us a crucial two away goals.
So Carlo…Are you going to go for it? Or go for caution and patience?
