Probably already been mentioned, but hopefully the Europa tie with Lyon is fairly poises after tonight, like 2-1 Lyon, or a draw, so that their focus might be more on that. Not saying it's needed, but it would help a bit.

 

If it's 3 or 4-0 either way then the league match will probably become more of a priority for them.

I’d take a crushing 6-0 defeat for them, and the subsequent recriminations that would result.

I keep hearing that they play better against the bigger teams these days. Let's see if there's anything in that.

 

They play better in the sense they play deep with a 8 deep. Like how they would be under Jose / OGS.

 

More compact, space closed off, but nothing in the side at all apart from Fernandes. Honestly, if they didn't have Fernandes, they would be so fucked as a side.

We need to get into this horrible lot on Sunday. Players and fans.

 

No taking it easy or assuming we will win. Need full-throated aggression*  on and off the pitch and go for the jugular from the off.

 

*controlled aggression from Joelinton in order to avoid suspension please.

Needs Arsenal semi-final levels of niggle. Everyone up for it please.

Great find. We need a thread for these tbh. I'm still on the hunt for thr full Sheff Wed away 95/96


I’ve got a Google doc for pre match threads for each fixture but they’re mostly highlights. Only have a handful of full games and some of them are on Footballia which require (an admittedly free) account to watch.

I feel we need Trippier to be on his A - game in terms of shithousery. Not necessarily doing it all game but he'll dictate the pace and pressure of the game when needed. As much as Bruno rallies the lads well like for the cup final, Trippier is key during a game.

It feels odd that this feels like a guaranteed win these days.


It doesn’t for me. Probably because of years of them fucking us over and usually being miles better than us. 
 

But also because I don’t think their current, super-defensive and negative looking style suits our game at all. 
 

They still have quality to nick a goal and we have struggled a bit when we go behind at home. 
 

Go ahead early like the game at Old Trafford. Then I think we’ll batter them.

Aye, this is where I'm at.
