Talk of Timber being fit - that would be a huge result….
Let’s get Kai up front and play some longer balls onto him.
Push Eze up in front of the two midfielders and told can’t drop too deep - pressure their defence.
Raya and the worst culprit Saliba - no rolling ball under your feet. Quick passes and don’t ask for back passes. No stupid short goal kicks.
Timber at Rb.
Martinelli and Noni.
If we get at them and don’t invite pressure onto us in our 1/4 of pitch then who knows as we are good enough.
Let’s go and go in with the Right mindset Boss! Don’t be scared. We have faith if you show faith
Excited for tomorrow If Boss grows a set. If not, I’m hiding behind the sofa.

Make them watch the 89 video. It shows what this match means to the fans! Don't get booked early unnecessarily, Hincapie, and keep Semenyo quiet. Maybe the ref can also tot up fouls by Rodri and Silva for a change.
1-1 draw. COYG.
As much as we'd like to have a go, we will defend for our lives - bit like the bendy bus C£ty parked at ours earlier in the season.

Take a draw, but we can’t bring too much pressure onto ourselves with no outlet - they will kill us. Maybe drop Eze & put Norgaard in there to win midfield, or even go 442. If the boss sets the team up to play for a draw, we will lose 3 nil.
They need to attack us & win. We must have an outlet, play with speed, no sideways nonsense, but press, press, press as if our life depends on it, and we must have an outlet.

I agree, Sy, but won't happen! A draw is a massive result! Norgaard and Zubi in front of the back four, and let Noni, Martinelli, Viktor and Rice counter-attack! It won't be the game we want! Get to half time 0-0.
They have to come out more, then hit them, simples. ?? I feel dirty saying it, but we will play for a draw, and if we do we'd better get it! COYG.
