Last minute thoughts: As Chest outlined this morning, we should expect to see much of the same lineup tonight as we saw in the first half against AC Milan. That's a good thing, because that lineup moved the ball well, and played the style of soccer that has led to many successful United seasons in the past. The only change expected to the starting lineup will be our 2010 leading scorer Danny Allsopp playing in place of our 2009 leading scorer Luciano Emilio. DC's inspiring performance on Wednesday night was something that we haven't seen often this year (probably not since the preseason actually), so we can all hope that the Milan win can represent a turning point for this club, as stated by Chris Pontius. Perhaps we've seen the bottom, and are now on our way back up.
