I think we have to be realistic about the quality of their players and their potential ability to impose their will on the game, relative to other opponents who arrive with all sorts of gameplans but don't have the personnel to enforce them.

Don't get me wrong, we're a footballing team and overall we absolutely should win playing our way or die trying, but as others have said, there may be some adjustments necessary, such as not playing quite as high a defensive line, because you've got to respect opposition of that quality.
