    With how he played when he came on I would've said start Bitton for this game, now I'm thinking we should just put it all over them in the first half and not give them a minutes peace, attack after attack.

    If Giakoumakis isn’t fit then Abada on the right, Jota left and Maeda through the middle.

    I don't think Maeda down the middle is as drastic as some people are getting on. I'd absolutely prefer him on the wing but he's more than good enough to put a performance in as a central striker.

    I must say Kyogo is something else. Sees a move 3 passes ahead, has great vision. Can play as a false 9 as well.

    That Abada goal was his creation. He was deep in midfield, gets the ball and lifts his head and within 3 seconds has lofted the ball forward to a moving Maeda, and has the ball drop on to Maeda chest, who then * the ball to the oncoming Abada to score.

    A brilliant goal.

    I have this image in my head of Maeda just prowling around between games like a caged animal …. Thrown the occasional bit of raw meat…..Energy building ….waiting for the door to be flung open and unleashed onto the grass…

    Kyogo on the other hand I see sitting zen-like in a quiet room. Legs crossed and eyes closed… deeply meditating on the upcoming games and contemplating the destruction of the Huns…. because it’s the right thing to do.

    I can’t wait to see them both run that filth ragged on Sunday.

    Wouldn't be taking the fact they went to ET as a given we will steamroll them.

    They will be on a high as well. Hopefully though with a full week to focus on this we can bring them back down to earth again.

    We need to come out with a real intensity to our game for me. No sleep walking at the start like at Ibrox and getting put on the back foot.

    Giakoumakis missing is a blow so it will be interesting to see what Ange does with the forward line. We need to have our press working properly to force them into mistakes playing out from the back. Also cover the long punt down the channel as that’s where they got a lot of joy from the highlights last night to either the winger or full back.

    Get ourselves in front and we should be able to build from there. Moving the ball quick and accurately will be key as they had the game last night, so making them work to get the ball will be crucial.

    We don't have a fully fit striker and they're complaining about their injuries? Lols

    I think he starts Kyogo. Being cute saying he’s not got 90 in him, but I reckon he goes with him, and maeda and jota either side. Then bring Abada on at 60mins

    Missing the big man is a blow as he definitely gives us more of a physical threat against them. Kyogo's pace will terrorise him but I was hoping we would have the luxury of bringing him on when they began to tire. If he does go for Abada through the middle then hopefully he will be up for it as their big CB's will be booting * out of him with impunity.

    Starting I think. Not seen what he said exactly yet but sounds like he just said he can’t play 90/120 minutes. Last week he said he’s not ready to start but he didn’t know how GG was then. Now that GG is out he’s saying Kyogo can’t play the full game. Maybe reading into the way he put it too much but sounds like he changed his tune.
