---------------------Koke-------------------Isco----------------------

Aubameyang------------------------------------------------Insigne

-----------------------------------Rossi---------------------------------

subs: Zoet, Carvajal, Sokratis, Wanyama, Quintero, Jese, Kruse.

Tactics: high intensity, high pressure counter attack game, defence to hold a high line, when we win the ball back look to play quick balls into our forwards who all have pace to get in behind the oppo defence.

Roma

-----------------------------------Leno---------------------------------
------Villagra--------Boateng----Bonucci-------Schmelzer---
-------------------------Rakitic-------Tiote---------------------------
----Yarmolenko----------Fernandes----------Konoplayanka-----
-------------------------------Doumbia-----------------------------
Subs: Moraes, Ansaldi, BMI, Chedjou, M. Suarez, Wijnaldum, Rodrigo.

Tactics: Playing fast pace football knocking it about looking to find the spaces the opposition leave and then attack in them areas. Give it wide to our wide men to use their pace and create a chance for us and to be dangerous all the time stretching the play. Deeper midfielders get support from Fernandes and look to play a high line to squeeze them up and win the ball back in a higher area of the field. Leno acts as sweeper keeper for this game.

Subs:
If Losing...

Fernandes Off - On Wijnaldum 70'
Doumbia Off - On Rodrigo 70'

Add more pace to our attack to try and score a late goal and win/draw the game if possible.
