I suppose its what happens on the night - who shows up, so to speak. In trying to play it tight I hope our tactics don't restrict our natural flair.
I honestly don't think Ferguson gives a hoot how we win this, as long as we do. This could be a defining match in his career, as I think if we win it we could go on to add another couple in the next few years. If we lose, who knows. It will be a big blow.

Our new-found ability to win ugly when we have to has made all the difference this year. The matches at Anfield, Emirates, Nou Camp (even at Lyon) were so impressive from a 'team' perspective, but it doesn't always click up front. When it does, I think we are near unbeatable. When it doesn't, we at least have the fall-back that we are unlikely to concede.
