They have 3 very good strikers and all know how to find the net. Consequently, we cannot sit back and 'settle things down' as they will have chances and we would be under the cosh before we have even started. Just for ONCE I would like us to start briskly and pin the opposition back. To do this we have to starve them of the ball. I know he won't but we need to keep the ball and break quickly using our full backs as runners supporting the striker. Ameobi needs to have a free role. By doing this we push their defenders back. So, my team:
Marshall
Peltier Connolly Morrison Fabio
Digachoi Witts
Pilkington Ameobi Ralls
Mason
If we play 442 we have had it because McCarthy would have planned for that. We have to have SOME element of surprise.
