Keep the goals down and pack the midfield. I would start without kodija.

Just looking at that team and it highlights where we need to strengthen.
Ashley Young, Zahah and Giroud in january please.
3 CBs, 2 holding midfielders, Jack in the middle of midfield and Kodjia up front. Lose 3-0 and be thankful we don't have to get demolished by city or united in the final
Crikey Sam, I fear for us in the 2nd leg if we get trounced on Wednesday. Can you imagine the carnage if we're chasing from the off at home?
I'd go along with most of what's been posted. Except of course ,the pie in the sky gobbledeegook re. Zaha. Never in a million years Bongo.
Remember Tranmere......
Spot on Bongo......we both went for a packed midfield and no striker!!
Lineup:-
Mings and SJ start and we do a Man City lining up with no striker. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Dam, why throw it away. Oh well, I would have snapped your hand off for a draw before the game.
Great tactics again from Smith with 3 at the back. Same again Sunday ...
