Let's not get over confident, the bluenoses are no pushovers, not forgetting how we got out ouf jail the last time. We need to handcuff that Yak fellow , deny him the shooting opportunity and half the threat is gone. Their defence tend to crowd their goalmouth and we need to move fast to deny them the chance to reorganise. Their defence is suspect of late and we need to harass them more. Don't wait for openings, there'll never be one as they would have locked all doors and we need to find ways to unlock it. Hence, the flanks will be important, i won't float the ball in as much as the bluenose defence is good at defending high balls, cut it back from the flanks to shoot. I'd start Crouch as a decoy to keep them busy to allow others to move in and shoot. They'll definitely try to shoot from outside the box and we can't give them an inch of a space to do that while we need to pluck that hole in the midlle just outside the box to deny them the shooting opportunity. Skyrtel will need to raise his game, particularly his heading abilities as he has been pretty naive in the last game. They move fast on the attack and our defence will need to be on thier toes to sniff out any danger.
