Not expecting a surprise result here at all but am genuinely more enthusiastic after seeing our 2nd half performance against City in the week.
I don't think we were overly defensive in the first half but we were incredibly wasteful with the ball; and gave it away almost as soon as we'd managed to win it. Dawson the biggest culprit on the night out of all of them. We pressed them up the pitch instead of our usual sitting just outside our box.
There didn't seem to be a huge tactical change in the 2nd half, we just kept the ball and gave it to the players who were creating the chances really well, if only if we'd have taken them!
Approach this game in the same manner and this could be our catalyst for the season like Leicester away was for last season. Just a shame it's a Monday night as I'd be on my way down to the Smoke for this one if it were a Saturday game.
COYB!
