Can Holloway park the bus to play for pens........

Not sure he could as he is too attack minded.

I dont think either manager will want pens, I can see a very high tempo game coming up... first 15-20 mins will decide the result!

No chance. Zaha and Bolasie both unleashed and they'll pile forward looking for an early goal.

I was very surprised they did not go for it in the 1st 15 minutes last night, I thought we would be totally under the cosh.

They have no choice but to try and blitz us on Monday so it should be a sensational game with total attacking football.

I don't think parking the bus is something Holloway has ever done. Even when taking Blackpool to Old Trafford he went for it and lost 4-2 (I think) in the end. It should be a good open game but first goal is crucial given how we don't comeback from behind or let leads slip often.

I disagree with most and think that Hollowhead will try to park the bus and rely on a quick breakaway from Zaha or Bolasie to feed Philips the chance in the 6 yd box.

I can't see bus parking being an option. That requires them to fall back and guard the final third, giving us the option of moving the ball around a lot more. The way they tried to snuff us last night involves chasing every ball like terriers, regardless of where it is on the pitch. I expect more of the same. They'll try and ullify our passing game by giving us no time at all on the ball.
