Win. Does not matter how. Win, get to the final.

Hit them with everything we got early.

Slight problem being we have nothing to hit them with other than our Boredomball. 

Millwall scored against them today though lost 1-3, goal came from clever movement down the right and a cross.

Perhaps we need to prioritise crosses from the flanks. 

Early goal please. 

Poch needs to pick a team that can attack. That means.

1. No Silva he's too slow if we play attacking full backs but might mean him if Baddy not ready/up for for it.

2. Chilwell at left back

3 Mudryck on the left, Sterling on the right and a No 10 that can attack. If I thought Carney was up for it would start him. In fact with Carney the false 9 is a more realistic option but still

Think you are asking a lot of Carney to be a starter. Hopefully Nkunkus hip injury clears up for this.

Though why do you want a false 9?

I don’t want it, but Broja doesn’t look up to it right now. 10 days till this game. Should be a half decent squad available. Chilwell, carney, badiashile will be fitter. Caicedo gets a decent break.

Could always start our latest youth signing, Whisper Richard's  :)

Whomever makes the team for this now more than ever MASSIVE SECOND SEMI it will definitely not maybe these unlucky and sickly players listed below. I’d rather see Broja up top w Sterling on left Maduke on right. Then put on Chilly and mudrick 2nd half. Palmer has to fit in somewhere.

I read earlier in the week that Nkunku was returning to first team training this week. So there was some hope he would be available for the game against Boro. We shall see. At best he will probably be on the bench.

Need to be on the attack, need more options going forward and I don't feel we need our 3 man middle.

More of a 244 idea. Gusto and Chili push on and Sterling and Palmer move up to link with the front 2 and go for their throats.

I read on Friday he hadn’t yet been sighted at team training. I think this is a game to play Caicedo and Enzo at 6 and give Palmer, Sterling , chukwumeka mudryck and madueke 45 minutes to go at borough.

I hadn't seen any updates since early in the week. But generally with our injury updates, no news seems to be bad news. If he hasn't been seen in training then I'd say he is almost certain to be unavailable for the Boro game. Probably Villa too.

Plays in a better team with a better manager  :)

We can talk about the team all we want. Player A, player B. Yada, yada. Tactics X, tactics Y. Makes no difference. Its all bollox.

This game is all about "want" and passion. Effort and sweat. Blood and snot. And that includes the fans in the ground as well as the players. In fact probably more on the fans on this occasion. Are you up for it? Yes you.

Edited January 21, 20242 yr by just

I expect us to overturn this one in the return leg, anything less than that is an abject failure. We have better players, and if players can't stand up in a knock out semi final game, they shouldn't be playing for the club.
