Press, press, and press again? Sit in, and hope for the best? Kick them off the pitch and hope that the officials lose the power of sight?

Won’t have many chances but when we do we have to take them. Indeed we are. Because we struggle to keep possession against Luton, Swansea, Millwall etc. Which begs the question, are we capable of retaining the ball at all against one of the best teams in the world? As far as I can tell, we won't have anything to counter attack with unless several of our lot have the game of their lives, far beyond anything we've seen them produce so far. Who knows, they may surprise us yet but I can see it being a bit like the one way traffic in the Lionesses game the other night.

Rocking Red Cyril Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 I expect a 4-5-1. Defending in numbers . But to me the key is when we get the ball we have to hit at pace in numbers . We have the pace. Play forward through Scotty who has to find those pin point balls to our forwards. We not got much of a chance . But we do have a chance. It's the FA cup shocks do happen.

Guest Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Well they are making Bournemouth run around in circles (currently 0-2) and they look frightening in attack; so we need to run around...a lot and hope they play no first teamers. Then a 3rd penalty in a row in the last minute for us would do just fine. We have NO HOPE sorry Edited February 25, 2023 by gl2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a risky business but we don't have much choice. If you're going to be mostly defending, you absolutely must have a threat going forward too. My crazy plan is this... Bell to spearhead the attack. He has one lethal weapon that the Man City defence will struggle with; PACE. Don't play Bell wide where Walker will keep up with him. Play him central, and hope he can latch onto a clearance (or even a pass, if we can muster a few of those!) The pace of Bell and the sheer class of Scott, give us a chance to get out and give Man City problems. I might be off my nut, but I would also be tempted to play JD left full back and Pring left forward. Print is comfortable going forward but also we would have a defensive balance that side. might be off my nut, but I would also be tempted to play JD left full back and Pring left forward.

This is what happened towards the end of the game today, so NP does know about using them like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we don't need to run around. That's the trap teams fall in to. Running around chasing shadows just wastes energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
