OutByEaster? Posted May 2 Moderator Share Posted May 2 I will take any sort of lead from this one - it's going to be a tough game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 We need a really solid defensive performance this evening. I know it might seem smart to go gung ho and try kill the tie but, a bit like the first leg in Amsterdam, we need to be smart. We are missing so many players so I think the team kinda picks itself. Olson Konsa Carlos Pau Digne McGinn Luiz Rodgers Bailey Olly Diaby I do fear Unai might push Cash into midfield and move Rodgers forward and keep Diaby on the bench.

Villan_of_oz Posted May 2 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2 430am KO, just the way I like it... For some reason I just feel like we are going to batter them.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. I think, because we know what's in store for us next week - or maybe we have a healthy respect for what's in store for us next week - we may go all out to put it to bed tonight. If we click like we can, and if we can get an early goal and make a mess of any low block gameplan they started the game with, I can see a 3 or 4 like Ajax. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really know why I felt like that, but you're totally right... I think if we are to progress we need to be clinical, our players have gone to the well so many times recently that we need some luck as well. They will come to the match to be nothing but difficult and horrible and it will be even worse next week. We need a performance for the ages! 2-0 after 30 minutes is my prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Surely Ollie bags tonight. Needs to zone in ready to have a crack at the golden boot at BHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 These are not on Lille’s level. If we are focussed I would like to see us do these away tonight. 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More interested in JT and his racist spat with Anton Ferdinand and a boxer yet again failing a drug test. BBC football page is the same. They've done their usual roundup of the papers' back pages, and even though several of them had big spreads covering us (Matty Cash saying we don't get enough respect), they just focused on the small strip across the top about Sancho. Point proven, I think, Cashy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted May 2 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2 (edited) Even though I'm in Australia, I listen to a lot of Talksport... We have been spoken about on there heaps. Cundy and O'Hara were genuinely staggered by Cash's comments, I found them a bit baffling. The only person I've heard be short of praise for us is Goldstein, and he's just a bitter twisted United fan I don't know about all media but Talksport have been nothing but fair as far as us being a discussion piece.

Like " you've knocked my door, now show me" Spot on. The harder we work the luckier we get. That’s true now, always has been and always will be. Being good at anything is always a challenge but always has its rewards if you’re prepared to work to overcome the challenges and not accept excuses. Now is definitely the time.
