Bailey Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 If you are going to play one of the big boys, playing them after an international break or European game is as good a time as you are going to have. It will be interesting to see which team lines up given some of the minor injury doubts we have knocking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll have an eye on Wednesday as well. Can't see Agüero being risked; hopefully they take three points for granted, that way we may get away with only a 2/3 goal defeat rather than a humiliation.

London Blue Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I fear Sam will set us up so defensively that we will offer no attacking threat, we will struggle to keep possession, let alone get out of our own half. I think a defeat of Arsenal / Spurs proportions is on the cards. Sad thing is I am off this weekend, and its on the telly and I will be watching the match, getting more and more frustrated with Sam being at our club.

Cornish Steve Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 An odd team selection: We are surrendering the midfield, which I have to say is a mistake. I’m all for attack as the best form of defense, but with a virtually non-existent midfield? De Bruyne will have a field day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Are we playing 442 or are we going to stick Bolasie / Walcott centrally and play DCL wide? My worry is that we will be completely overrun in midfield and centrally in general. Keane will have no protection so it will be a big game from him. In attack I think the right approach is to play with pace and get in behind, or to run at them, but we need to get the ball to them first and I would have preferred to see someone like Vlasic who could play on the turn in the number 10 position rather than DCL who will be chasing shadows and lost causes all game alongside Cenk. Either way, let' hope they give it their all because they will need to against such a brilliant side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 One way of getting at them is by pressing Kompany and Laporte although it wont' mean much if no-one is pressing the Fernaninho or one of the other two dropping deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
