The Monk 3,207 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Winning by more than one goal would be ideal for my heart rate but any win would be huge at this stage of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forwards less likely to get booked in the opposition half than defenders in their own half. Exactly what I was going to say ,Morelos would get away with 2 fouls if he was lucky before a card though .

Crazy that I forgot about that. Sone Aluko was at his brilliant best in that game. Vastly underrated player for the short time he was here. I realise he had a pretty non-eventful career afterwards but I loved how direct he was. He looked a nightmare to defend against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll go with a high press to try and keep Tav and Barasic back whilst not allowing our midfielders time to play. Our front 3 will be pivotal... There will be a lot of space to exploit on the counter so I have a feeling Gerrard will drop Hagi for Jones or Barker. The scum played defensively in the 2-0 game at Ibrox .They probably would try it again but it won’t be Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fouls they gave away were deep in the Cardiff half, stopped them building up attacks. Don’t get me wrong Man City played them off the park but fouling early was definitely part of their strategy. I'm sure I read somewhere that it was Mikel Arteta who put that into place at City.

There will be a lot of space to exploit on the counter so I have a feeling Gerrard will drop Hagi for Jones or Barker. Please no to Barker. I could see the logic with Jones but it has to be Hagi from the start. These games are built on what midfield turns up or is stronger and Hagi coming inside gives us 4 in the centre of the park up against their three which includes an older scott brown along with the natural width Tav offers us it could be effective. Hagi also doesn't really need to get involved in the donkey work that any 3 of Davis, Arfield, Kamara or Jack would have to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morelos played a total of around 80 minutes. Travelling the main issue, but considering the match finished around 16 hours before some nations league matches kick off tonight then he should be back tomorrow and ready for Saturday! I have a bad feeling morelos will test positive or be a close contact with a positive test from int duty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,821 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Doesn't matter when Morelos arrives in Scotland, he will be jet lagged. You don't travel across the world and recover within 24-48 hrs. I hope he proves me wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
