We as fans need to hold our nerve this season

It doesn't really matter too much if we get tonked tonight, its going to happen. We may well not start picking up many points until October but if that happens staying up is still doable.

I will only moan tonight if we concede goals from not marking properly at set pieces or leaving men unmarked at the top of the box whist we have 7 or 8 defenders between our goal and the penalty spot as I think those are things we should have worked on and are avoidable! When facing great teams, letting in sloppy goals would be so frustrating.

Yes high press is inevitable. We didn't always cope well with teams who pressed us last season and often gave the ball away. For that reason I think I would go with Leitner over McClean tonight as ball retention will be important but its a tight call.
