Just the last few games, weāve seemed vulnerable to a smart through ball, or balls over the top to runners from deep. Happened v Porto and Chavs.
We really need to sort that out, holding a high line and not being alert enough to spot the runs.
Probably need to hold the back line a bit deeper to counter that.
Porto have a few speedy players, need to be careful there.
As a Hendo critic, I have to say heās been a revelation of late. Has to start tonight, and I think with Gini and Millie. We need to hold that midfield and possibly serve the strikers with slightly longer balls so we donāt get caught out too far upfield. Front three are on fire again and the back four and keeper is nailed on.
Iām sure weāll go through but i donāt think it will be as easy as some are stating. I rekon weāll get s 2:1 win but thereās gonna be some tough moments throughout. These aināt gonna lay down and will be confident they can get through.
An early goal by us will take the pressure off and hopefully we can manage the game like we have recently.
If they get an early goal, we gonna really be under pressure and have to hope we can keep our nerve and donāt panic.
We have been good in that respect all season, but this is a passage into the C L semis !
Looking forward to it, but a bit nervous as well.
