I will probably watch it. It's interesting to see how our players will do this time, after the humiliation on Olimpico.
To be fair, i somehow want us to lose this match, just so Valverde will be exposed even more. I just don't think we have the right players and coach at the moment. By saying right players i am not referring to the whole team, but we have a bunch of average (at best) players on the bench and some of them are even starters.
Some people here thought we were defensively a great team and we only lack some attacking force. But if you want to defend properly, you need a well organized midfield, which we don't have, and a very good backline. You are not a balanced team when you allow that many chances even against average La Liga teams. We weren't having for the most part of the season a clear schema/tactic, we were fooled by the stats and the small number of goals we allowed this season. But just because you are worse in attack, that doesn't automatically imply that you are a master in defense. Our team was being exposed so many times this season, and our coach learned nothing from it.
Thing is, Roma deserved to win against us. Unfortunately, we lost the respect we had from other teams when they faced us and were trashed at Camp Nou. Go back 3 years ago (when we had MSN firing up and a better team), had we won then only 3-1 against them at home, they wouldn't have talked about remontada. Nowadays, they were convinced we are very vulnerable and that the luck will not be with us forever. Good we won't play semifinals, otherwise that 7up would have been overshadowed by another epic defeat from us.
We need major reinforcements in the summer. Especially in midfield and attack. But i'm asking myself: is our board capable of making the right decisions after the previous seasons failures? I very much doubt it, sadly. And if it doesn't happen i'm afraid the qualification in QF this season will be a sweet memory compared to what's going to follow afterwards.
