Huddersfield (a) Pre-Match Thread

[Didsbury Dave]

We did not go up another gear he helped us close out the game after an amazing display by the lads who started.

Well we all see things differently. I can't remember exactly when he came on, maybe at 3-2 up, but I can remember that we totally dominated the game from that exact point onwards because we started playing the Come-and-get-it possession game and he was at the centre of it all.

just seen the desperation sky sport news.
Danny Higginbottom suggesting a team outside the top six can beat us playing the Leicester way. Think even though he has connections to the rags he is a reasonable pundit.

The same Leicester we comfortably beat on their own patch in second gear last week?

If Higginbottom had the blueprint for a struggling side to beat City, he’d be a highly sought after manager, not a second rate pundit.

If we can’t get an early goal we will overwhelm them and end up winning by 4 or 5

 

[St.Pauli support]

...Hopefully Sterling turns up again and we don't fall into the trap of the first FA Cup tie.

Bravo
Zab, Ota, Stones, Kolarov
Delph, Fernando
Navas, Fernandinho, Nolito
Aguero

Wasn't a trap really. Just a weakened cup lineup.

I think this time we will be able to offer a bit more creativity...
Certainly more than rags did.

Hope for any clean sheet win.

PEP: (Injuries?) Everybody is okay. Yesterday was a day off. Today i want to see how everyone is.

PEP: We played last season against them and were not able to wi. We realised how complicated it is to play there. At home, they have had good results. When they decide to make high pressing, they are so well-organised. Like every game away in the PL, we will try.

 

[domalino]

At home they have a good record, but the opposition has been weak - Newcastle, Southampton, Leicester, West Brom. They've faced 2 top 6 teams, Spurs (who smashed them) and United who they obviously beat but that was a genuine case of United being completely wank and Huddersfield getting goals handed to them on a plate.

I'm inclined to think we'll be more like Spurs than United personally.

Mangala/Kompany vs. the high press will be a worry. Kompany isn't as bad as Mangala but is nowhere near as composed on the ball under pressure as Stones or Otamendi, and is prone to a heavy first touch every now and then.

 

[kaz7]

PEP: We have a lot of players scoring goals. We cannot win the title just with one or two players scoring. Our attacking midfielders, especially and our defenders have been scoring goals. That is good.

PEP: (on @PhilFoden) We are so pleased. It is so important for clubs to have players from the academy. Here he has so much support. Whether he will play depends in quality and his development. (@VincentKompany is) ready to play tomorrow.
