It'll be tough playing 80 minutes with 9 men. I think the first 10 minutes will be blood snd thunder from both teams.
A lot of the strength needs to be in the head, not the muscles. Also, I'm quite looking forward to seeing how Kompany deals with Deleufeu. He's not afraid of getting stuck in and refs like to get an early yellow card in.
I feel Deeney mart actually take over from Gracia at halftime if things are looking sour. But I agree it's more a mental battle today. We know they have vastly superior players but they are beatable. Newcastle and Palarse did it, so there is no reason the players cannot cling to that small ray of hope
