The last 2 games, we have conceded early, but managed to get back on terms. However, it probably helped that City and Chelsea continued to attack. If Cardiff score early, they will definitely park the bus, so we need to start solidly and make sure we're not chasing the game. Starting to play at 2-0 down is not the smartest tactic.
if he does start with the same team and we don't manage to break cardiff down then gus has to make his subs earlier in the second half because the longer we go without scoring you can imagine the pressure and tension starting to build
I once had a Sunday League manager who decided on who'd be subbed before a ball was kicked. **** manager he was.
I would go for an attacking line up, Giacci, Ki, Johnson and even Bardsley in midfield ! (put Vergini in at right back ), with Alonso getting down the left flank and getting crosses in, and bring Watmore and Ba on at some point. 2 wins should do it but who knows !
Bardo has finished his ban? Bardo at RB, Vergini on the bench. Otherwise I dont think the team will change. Larsson has always got more stick than he deserves. He does a decent but quiet job.
