Guillaume Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Need a goal in the first half an hour, 2 up by half time and they could crumble. Also just as likely that they'll do away with football and be scrappy as fuck with us unable to break them down and it could finish 1-0 either way. No Bruno or Tonali, typical luck.

Decky Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 We'll win, take a 3 week rest and be well set up for the final run in to get into the EL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 So onto these cunts Well my usual negative self can see nothing but 0-0 an I mean that. Tough to score against, these will sit,kick and generally waste time and all of a sudden the game will be over, not expecting a classic at all and it suits them to bore the fuck out of everyone and hope to nick one off a throw or set piece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Losing this is unthinkable. They'll play a low block, which is something we struggle against. I can see us just about scraping a 1-0 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should play Lewis Hall as a winger, seems like our best player at actually beating a man, rather than outsprinting one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 2 hours ago, Chicken Dancer said: Really does feel like we have to win. We can't be losing twice to this lot in the same season and I don't think a draw will suffice. They're not all that and have been lucky as fuck in many of their games. That being said, they're resilient and hard to beat. They're a kryptonite for us as it is, never mind the fact they play with a low-block which is our worst nightmare. If we score first and early and they have to open up it could be very different, but I fear we will really miss Tonali and especially Bruno in the midfield battle. Aye. After the collapse yesterday and the non game we showed up at their place earlier in the season, this is a must win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Need to start fast and press the life out of them. Similar to Chelsea at home this season but without throwing the win away like that game. Edited March 19 by Jordan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what it takes for people to accept that Eddie has the lads behind him and know what’s needed. FWIW I expect a strong finish to the season. Making some errors against Barca doesn’t impact that at all IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and hope for the same but we absolutely could shit the bed and lose, got about 7 months evidence of that given our season so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll have about 75% possession against a very low block with 11 behind the ball. So for this particular game Wolt might be the better choice for breaking down that defence and playing those through balls in the absence of Bruno.

Infinitely Content Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Let's not forget how dreadful we were with Woltemade up front. Needs to be Gordon and two of Murphy, Barnes or Elanga. That change is largely responsible for our upturn in form imo, this isn't the game to be gambling in hope we suddenly know how to be a functioning team with Woltemade leading the line.
