This, exactly this.

Well we know what to expect , hopefully we have finally learnt how not to get caught out on the counter. A start for Phillips maybe?

 

[Gorbachev]

Just got to watch that counter attack.

It still annoys me the first time Conte came to the Etihad with Chelsea, we dominated yet got done on the counter twice by Costa and Hazard if I recall.

Same team as the one in Seville for me, but with Alvarez in for Grealish. We are going to need his tenacity.

Laporte won't be playing, so we have a chance.

Let's see how they cope with Haaland, rather than concern ourselves with what Son and Kane have done previously.

As I remember , the last time we played them one of ours gave them an advantage on the counter something about an offside trap and he fecked up , Son crossed across the box and a spurs player tapped it in, as i remember
Please correct me if I’m wrong about that

I always dread the match commentator informing us that so-and-so players has never scored in the PL or a CF hasn't scored in 10+ games. It's as though we just heard from the Oracle of Delphi!

Reminds me of Crystal Palace league cup in the 90s. They hadnt scored in about 8 games, then promptly rattled 4 in one half against us.

That's the side I expect to see (rather than the one that I would pick).

I think the system is more important than the personnel in many ways and I just hope we see a return to a more traditional 4-3-3 and no inverted fullbacks.

I think he will pick Ake for LB to try and keep us more solid and for his height for set pieces? Akanji looks like a Pep CB as well and it will be a good test to see where he is at but he settled in extremely well alongside Ruben the other night and deserves his chance again.
