Reply With QuoteI predict they'll be rubbish, but we'll make them look like Barcelona by giving them way too much respect and time on the ball. They'll knock it around "continental" style and we'll all be thinking "they're all comfortable on the ball" while our players stand back admiring how skilled they are at keeping the ball. Whenever we get the ball we'll brick it and boot it as hard and high as we can hoping one of our midfielders can get on the end of Cosgrove's first touch. We'll get a goal from a set-piece and then put on an extra defender to "manage the game" before losing a goal to some kind of defensive blunder. At this point we'll have 8 defenders on the park, 2 of which will be pushed up front as we continue our aerial bombardment. We may or may not sneak through the tie - much of it will be down to refereeing decisions and luck.Originally Posted by neilthedon
Alternatively, we get on the pitch knowing we're better than them (they're 3rd bottom of their crappy league and have only scored 9 goals in 14 games), attack them down the wings, get the ball in the box and win by 2 or 3 goals.
