ElBufalo20 7,929 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Regardless of team selection we really need to be switched on and clever. They’ll come out 100mph home crowd nice day etc. We need to slow the game down and play at our pace early doors and settle into it. We need to decide if we press as a team or the rest of the players watch Dessers run around himself 30 yards in front of them. If we want to win we have to be at least level at half time, too many times we’ve gifted them goals in 40+ mins and it kills the game for us. A disciplined performance is what we need and can hopefully sneak a 1-0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,582 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Need a tactical change. It's been said a million times this week, but I think a 3 man midfield is a must on Saturday. The last 3 games against them they've totally controlled that area of the pitch. Problem is, unless big Abdullah makes it, we don't have a single player on the wings we can rely on. Rabbi's got pace, but he's pish. McCausland offers nothing in the final 3rd. Silva, see Rabbi. And less said about Scott Wright the better. Don't envy big Phil picking this team selection, but he can't start the usual 4-2-3-1. Goofy The Scot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watp89 38 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 3.1 to us. We're being written off, Sima/Ridvan will be fit, Jack on the bench, and Phil will throw a Walter style curveball 🤞 Boybluesy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finny 5,608 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 If sima is fit I would play him and matondo on both wings. I think a lot of the game will be played in our half so we will be able to hit them on the break and we need sterling in the middle.

You'd be relying on Sterling and Diomande doing what Kamara and Jack did which is obviously a big ask. Just the thought of McCausland/Wright/Silva is absolutely grim.
