We have been lucky for weeks now blah blah, fucking blah., we are playing shit, scoring injury time winners to secure undeserved victories. No point pointing out irrelevant little things like facts to them, possession statistics, shots on goal etc.
They most definitely think they are going to do us on Sunday.
Personally I think the only way the Rags can win will be with set pieces, hoofball to Lukaku, and Marcus Neymar. That is all that worries me.
Not a chance they will do us playing football.
Only playing anti-football.
Read a piece on the Beeb and anti-football was what they were saying Maureen should play, and probably will. However, after watching the Arsenal match, I think they will make it look like they're attacking and not playing 2 separate entities, attack and defence. Maureen allowed the front 3, or those that were forward, to chase the ball and put pressure on the defence, while making sure that the other 7 were parked in their own half in case it didn't work. It did work on that occasion but even with a back 6 at times, Arsenal still got 33 shots away. Didn't seem like very good defending to me.
From us, hopefully it will be a breath of fresh air playing a team who have something to prove. I'm hoping their ego gets the better of them and they actually try and play football, at least to make it a spectacle. Our last few opponents have had no intention of playing football, and can you blame them, so it may be that the Rags come out and at least try to test us rather than park that double decker that Maureen is so keen on.
Or am I being naive?
