But we are not the same team either.

Look at the quality across the field for us. We’ve strengthened with Ramazani who is a massive addition in the backline, improved our midfield by adding Retre who can control the midfield, and also add Yoo and Juach who have delivered really quality in attack.

We’ve still got Cocks and Mikkola on the bench !

This is going to be a really even contest. It will come down to the basics - who converts their chances and makes the fewest errors.

I agree.. its actually going to be the evenest competition between the two of us for a long time, Genuinely think its going to be one of these emotional last minute gasper type of games 2-1 or 2-3 or even 0-1 .. It wont go to pens but maybve extra time...

The other side of me thinks it will be a red card fest because of the pressure and a bloodbath 4 goal slaughter.... either way should be fun for the neutrals, we'll probably all be having nervous breakdowns. hahahaha

I just wish we were more of a set piece threat. It was our biggest strength just 24 months ago and now its a horror show. I rememeber the 5-2 cup game there a couple years ago i think 4 of our 5 goals were set pieces.

I preferred the 0-3 early this year were we just choked the living crap out of them. Mutch better football, complete control and dominance.

I would love to see a decent corner taken for once. We really have become awful on our set pieces.

99% of our corners on the weekend were terrible.

Even Lampard who is meant to be our best just booted it straight out for a goal kick lol. Granted he is rusty.

I am hoping there will be enough police and security patrolling the outside perimeter and nearby areas to ensure there are no troubles outside the ground. That first 15 minutes after the match will be crucial to get everyone out quickly and safely.

Relax man you are in Reservoir not Feluja. hahahahah Just avoided the topless bald tattoo guy chained up outside Mystique and you'll be fine. hahahahaha
 
Tonight we will need to see the players do at the very least the basics on set pieces. Both teams are not going to over commit as the match will be cagey at times. We really need to be more effective with our set pieces. I don't care if we score from our trademark throw ins with Mikkola. The players have to be efficient and effective with the ball, as goal scoring opportunities will be limited.

Retre, Pasquali and Giannakopoulos need to dominate and control the midfield battle. Jankovic and Ramazani need to stand tall and subdue the Preston attackers. Yoo and Uchida need to drive into the box with their attacking runs and put the Preston defence under real sustained pressure. More attacking balls to Juach increases his chances of scoring. It ain't rocket science.

May the football gods grant our heroes wings.
