    Getting ever closer to this now.

    It's vital we start well. Keep it tight at the back early on, don't give ourselves any mountains to climb.

    2-0 win would be ideal, gives a little cushion for going away, which we all know we tend to struggle.

    No need to go chasing the game though, if we create enough chances we have the players to put them away.

    Not even going to hazard a guess at the team, we need Wanyama,Kayal and Ledley on the pitch if we are to win. They are our key players IMO.

    Half Finn? That reminds me of the South Park episode that includes Gerald becoming a dolphin or in the words of Eric Cartman: A jew-phin.

    Ideally we'll win with a clean sheet and by at least 3 goals

    Surely once we need to do it the easy way.

    I remember when we beat Utrecht 2-0 and it was an extremely comfortably performance but we then lost 4-0 with the 2nd worst European performance in our entire 125 year history so take nothing for granted either way, I would take any win right now but we should win by atleast 2 goals. Especially when you look at HJK's away record in their league: P10 W3 D1 L6 Pts 10/30

    if Commons and Stokes are fit it'll be quite interesting who will be dropped to accommodate, if any.

    i think we should be looking to kill the tie in the first leg. press high and relentlessly attack.

    Playing two central midfielders on the wings will surely result in a lack of width. I think one needs to be sacrificed for Forrest.

    true, but i can't see who should be dropped. if Commons and Stokes are fit, it will be interesting to see who starts down the left.

    You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. They will be much fitter than us. That's why I stressed the importance of starting well.

    Aye I think it's difficult to predict who he'll go for with so many options.

    Will be interesting to see who plays in the midfield we have got plenty of options there with Brown, Ledley, Kayal, Wanyama, Forrest, Sammy and hopefully Commons is fit.
