I did see the comments before the game started and appreciate the input.

I set out 3 of the 6 who had the weakest run of form recently.

My thinking was that I was already trolled once by this team and it is very rare that the same team gets me twice unless they are superior to mine. As I said the first leg I had a 3-0 halftime lead and drew 3-3.

I was nervous at the half up 2-0 but I stuck to my game plan, also exploited their weakness out wide.

Finally in the last 13 mins Olympique Rouen broke through with a 3 goal flurry to finish 5-0 and 8-3 on agg.


Now it is on to the 3rd straight CL finals appearance for OR. Having two heartbreaking losses previously this match is of enormous import to the club. Our finals opp is about the same quality as the semi finals. Obviously have to be on guard for the troll result again but the team is on a good run of form since that 3-3 draw having outscored the 4 opponents 27-0 since then.

Also the good news is that all of my players will be available for the finals (Though the RB might have lost his job after having a rough season and the new signing winning MoM in his debut).

CM Segreste did pick up a 4 day injury in training but will be given the red packs needed to get him fit before game time.
