    Stick with a winning team. They've had a rest now and should be ready to kick-on.

    Just a thought on team selection. This Gegenpress thingy relies on high tempo, close em down quick, win the ball back before opposition get constructive with the ball.

    England did similar in the world cup but adopted a different formation 3-5-2. This gives you an extra body in the pressing area of the park.

    When playing a big physical team, I wonder if we are better with 3 big uns at the back and the extra body in the middle. Might be a change for Saturday but I suspect we will go with the same line up.


    Any thoughts?

    It would certainly give Jackson some much needed game time.

    For sure with 3 big lads at the back could play Pinillos and Cavere as wing backs and leave Thiam on the bench but, think we will see same starting team on Saturday as previous leagues games, looking forward to the game on Saturday but for some reason after Tuesday's game feeling a bit nervous!
