If we go through it will be completely undeserving and frankly unfair on Juve.

Tough.
If we go through then we will have earned it.

They become popular for a reason Gazza!
It's the most simplistic way to describe how a side changes. It either evolves, as Juve have done, slowly and over a period of time into a colhesive team unit or you spend over 80 million in one summer to get spanked 3-0 and go out in CL group stage.

I agree, but the team a) should never have been allowed to get into the state it was at the end of last year and b) too much is expected of them to change style radically and bed these new players in.
The Ramires/Mikel combination first worried me after the Tottenham game and I think therein lies one of our main problems. They get bypassed far, far too easily. Lampard may be slow, but he's got more of a footballing brain that the other two put together.
I love Ramires but he's so unbelievably direct that when he goes forward, we lose the ball far too frequently and it leaves us exposed.
