Extremely difficult in this game....
1. Passing on the ground
2. Getting behind their defense and whipping in a low ball
3. Using any pace in attack
4. Shooting from distance into a crowded box.
Needed in this game...
1. Physical stamina due to the surface draining your strength
2. Physical presence all over the pitch because it’ll be a battle and on their terms
3. Pace/cover in defense because they’ll break when we have everyone in attack around their box
4. Numbers in their box battling for high balls in (have to beat them at their own game)
5. Good attacking corners
Imo we need our fullbacks to be midfielders and we need plenty of centerbacks for a physical presence on corners so I’d play Stones and LaPorte.
I’d play Bernardo as one of the strikers because we need an extra physical players in the box for the ping pong that’ll take place.
I’d not play Sandler, Foden, KDB, Silva, Mahrez or Aguero. Maybe Gundogan but I’d prefer Fernandinho.
