this worries me.
I guess most of their players will not be off for international duty which means quite a long and good preparation for them for this one FA cup game. it will allow them extra fitness to press us which our players will hate so much.
our players will return injured from shit international games like 2 days before this game.
fuck.
Iraola will watch the Forest and Brighton games to find the patterns to hurt us same as the game we lost at their stadium in the PL already few months back.
I would hope Pep can now spend 2 weeks with Lillo to work at least in theory on the tactics, but I guess he will be off to Spain, Grealish off to the pubs to watch England games lol.
right now its hard to see what would instantly change tactically that allows us to win this game. Iraola's tactics is really a bad fit for us now.
we had mighty great draw Salford, Leyton, Plymouth, that ends now in the FA cup. hopefully it wont end our whole run in the cup but unless Pep will outsmart Iraola it will.
