I’d absolutely agree that they are organised and Gyokeres is an obvious threat. The best thing about today was that McNair proved he can stop the threat of gyokeres. He may need to do it for another 2 hours on Wednesday but that is the best Paddy has played against Gyokeres.
We edged today and a 2-0 win wouldn’t really have flattered us. But they’re tough, resilient compact, we might need a mistake from them, we might need a deflection, we certainly have to shoot more often, I’d like to think that our possession football if it goes to extra time might tell and take their legs from them.
Think this tie will be decided by a one goal victory, or even pens. Chuffed we’ve got more on the bench now, I think we’ve got better options than they have and that might tell in the end.
Not sure Forss will start Wednesday, looked rusty, think we might get 40 mins max out of him so we wouldn’t bring him on until 80mins so we can use him in extra time.
We’d want archer, Akpom, Forss all on the pitch if it goes to pens
