Away ties can be dodgy , what do you do , we are 2-0 up . I think we need to attack , or mix it , but we cant try to just defend the lead . What do you think we will do guys .

:ghostface: i agree keep it simple , pass  it around , dont take risks at the back . Look to score a goal on the break . Quick good balls into Baros or Owen are reqiured .

If we score we will be through, I cannot see Sofia getting three against us.

I predict a 0-0 bore.

Thats not a criticism: its a professional scoreline in Europe after winning at home.

I would like to see some attacking football played by us, quick passing, a bit of stylish football even if the final score is 0-0.  A win is just a bonus for us but I would like to see us try and get it.  It would see us more highly rated in our next round.

Owen needs goals to get him back on track. I think he will start tonight. The team should win, particularly as the home side will need to attack more and will leave themselves open to the pace of Owen and Baros.
Sounds good I suppose - here's hoping!

yeah if we score one the tie's over. we definitely can't afford to sit back and defend because that will get the crowd fired up. from what i hear it's quite a hostile atmosphere inside their stadium. it's been snowing there as well so conditions won't be easy. should be a routine professional excercise though.

Possession football looking to hit on the quick counter. They shouldn't pose a serious threat, but we should look for an away goal to make the tie secure (they would need four to win!)
