Should be an interesting clash of styles tomorrow. We will be playing fast and furious with crisp clean passes on the green and then pullis's lads will simply hoof it back over the top for us to start over again.
I hope that, not only for us, but for football fans across the globe, class wins out.

They might just kick us off the park. Which is our downfall no matter how well we play we can be pushed around. This was the Achilles heel last season.

Kiwi don’t underestimate Pullis’ style of football. His teams play to counteract his opponents but necessarily to play long balls. He’s a smart operator but hopefully Bielsa will have him.
Still I say 3-0!

I hope you are right Corky, but I think it might be a bit tougher than that. Hope we get off to a good start and really go for it. The earlier we get a goal, the sooner sides have to change their approach and that gives us more space to work in. I think it will be a cracking night.

Cork, I definitely don't understand the Pullis's. He kept a very ordinary Stike City in the premiership for a very long time. You can't achieve that without some nous. He knows well how to play his style of football. I just don't like it is all.

This Kiwi is nervous too. Picking a 2-1 win for us.

My post should have said underestimate not understand. Stupid auto correct.
I have faith in Bielsa. We may field the same team and run the same tactics but Byb will have specific tweaks and plays worked out.
It will be a hard game, in many senses of the word, but we will prevail.

I will go with 2=1 to us as well. Back four will need to be alert tonight, wish Phillips had been rested for cup game but have faith in Bielsa.

I’m going 3-1.
Gotta watch friend. Always has good game against us.
Put Pontus on him.
Think they will come at us tbh. Which will leave gaps.

Got to start strong and fast. Can’t give them the first 20 minutes like we gave Norwich or they will punish us. Nervous but cautiously optimistic. 2-0. C’MON!

Agree, great to get a goal quickly, makes it a lot harder for them and creates more space for us.
