Well

First up My team would be

GK Marshall
RB Olmouzi (sp)
CB Stefanovic
CB Kennedy
LB Bertrand

RW Croft
MC Clingan
MC Pattison
LW Hoolahan

AMC Sibierski

ST Lupoli

So a 4 4 1 1 when defending and and 4 2 4 when flooding forward

I would tell the midfield that it's on them tonight to show us what they can do.
Croft unless there's a good through ball I want you skinning you man, nail him, yes you'll get tackled a lot but you will create 3-4 good chances.
Hoolahan the same goes for you, but cut inside more and use Patty and Sib for triangle passes to create gaps behind their defence.
Patty You're job is to run all night and support the wingers with an inside ball to create space. Have long range shots as you've shown you have a good strike on you. When the wingers are pushing forward i want you 10 yards behind and slightly inside so wou give them an option and can get back and cover incase they lose the ball.
Clingan Hang back, tackel hard pick up the ball and find a simple pass, look to release the wingers or sib.

Sib you have to roam about the middle of the park holding the ball from Clingan, Patty etc and then look to offer the wingers support and send loopy through.

Lupoli, stay up when we are defending corners, there's always loads of dead space between our 18 yard line and the halfway i want you winning the ball if it spills out there and then i want fast attacking. If you get the ball 25 yards out and have not option but to go backwards - shoot!

The defence has a more simple task the backs need to push on and support the wingers and the centre halves need to keep their heads. Captain for the night Kennedy.
