I also don't think they have the pace to hurt us on the counter-attack either.
I think their only hope is to score the first goal and pack the centre of their defence for the rest of the game. In fact that may well be their default defensive position if we manage to dominate possession like we have most of the season so far. Of course, if they pack the centre of defence that leaves plenty of room for Wallace/Tavernier to probe and create space on the overlap.
I can see McKay and/or Oduwa hurting them with their pace, especially if the game is open.
