So who else read Cissokho's name and thought "F**k!", I know I did.
I understand not risking Flanno for this but still doesn't change the feeling of Navas v Cissokho. Lucas also doesn't have the pace to deal with Navas, we're going to have to get tight to him on every opportunity in midfield and try to cut off the supply.
It's hard when they have so many threats and my optimism for this match just took a knock.
The results have gone reasonably well for our top 4 hopes but pretty poorly for our title aspirations this weekend. Win takes us top, draw and we're 2nd, 4th if we come away with nothing. Ask yourself if going into the new year you'd have taken any of those and at worst be 3 points off top spot, I think we'd all take the position we're in now.
Now get out there and F***ing smash 'em!
