They've got the best goalkeeper in the league in my opinion, but he seems to have picked up an injury, so that's a bonus too.
Yep, they looked exhausted at the end. On paper should be a pretty simple game plan for us, don’t gift them something to hold onto, don’t worry too much about going for the kill early, keep the ball and make them run.

They caused us problems in the league game at ML with an extremely aggressive man-to-man marking theory. Fair play if they’ve got the energy after tonight and the balls to do it in a play-off game, but I’d expect something different this time.
