A sh*t load has happened between the first leg and tomoz, not getting away from the fact that domestically we’ve been absolute Pants, with lots of sh*t in them too, but tomorrow is a different target, a different comp and hopefully a different mentality,
First leg from what I remember was a lot of worrying that we would get turned over, as it turned out however,Leipzig had about a good 35 mins throughout the 95+ but didn’t really cause too many dramas, well nothing we couldn’t handle,
Alisson, Trent, Kabak, Henderson, Robbo, Gini, Jones, Thiago, Mo, Bobby Mane took to the field as starters, we won 2-0 ,
We have all of those players available again with the exception of Hendo & Bobby, but do have Fabinho, Keita & Jota, kind of changes the dynamic me thinks,
We have to play Fabinho at CB, Phillips next to him with Trent & Robbo either side, Gini as DM, Jones & Naby in midfield, and Mo Jota & Mane up top, two nil is a decent start, but not insurmountable, one goal against and their backs are up and our chins go down, I know it’s hard to imagine us actually scoring but with Jota & Naby back I think we pose more of a threat than the first leg,
There’s more pressure on them because they HAVE to score and that could play right into our hands when they push forward, Phillips adds a bit of height for the set pieces and just has more about him than Kabak has, IF we can score early doors it’s game over so soon as we can do that the better.
