Good result in a way, but it will be nervy at SJP - My thoughts on the game

We don't mind you trying though. Here I have some wellies you can borrow, although they are tied together. I'm sure Obertan won't mind.
 
Another tactical masterclass from the silver fox.

Thought the whole back 5 were superb. It'll be tough at home because they are a good side who won't have been suited by the pitch either. However if the fans can show a bit of patience and get behind the team we might just be able to squeeze out a result.

Just hope we don't score the one and try to sit on it. You just know that we would concede a late one and go out on away goals.

Agree. Really hard one to call tactically. If we go all out, we'll be prone to the counter attack and a goal for them means we need two. Equally, we cannot sit back for too long as if they sneak one, we'll have less time to claw back two.

It will need to be competitive and positive from the off, but not marauding forward en masse.

I think the fans will need to be patient and not get frustrated if we play it cautiously. We need to create the noise for a twelfth man, but the temptation is that everyone gets fired up and expects all guns blazing.
 
should have a mcuh better team on the day, with cisse back, HBA playing in his preferred role and with a bit of match fitness, and both cabaye and tiote starting.

Keep cabay and tiote in front of the back 4, and let the rest press forward in attack. nothing is entirely safe, but that should favour us
