two Wingers in this 433 formation so they need to switch the ball quickly and get crosses into the box but they also need to get at least two Midfield players making runs into the penalty area that's a must oh wait a minute they could be in here oh there's theal there's the opener how about that well as you can see he's given to much space but he still had some work to do and I think that's a very

lead and doesn't he know it but will they get a better one than that can he deliver it with accuracy and efficient defending well sitting deep here almost inviting the pressure now the counter looks on the outc is a free kick here and he gets away with a warning here in my view that's good refereeing strong but not officious that's mongala can he convert and there it is they take command in the final and just look at the Cs here well here you can see what a good goal this is he hits it so cleanly and the keeper has no chance that's a great strike well it's a big moment for him just needs to

opposition that time Aon Yates Forest giving it away Wilson trapo great defending aier now let's see what they can do here good strength to keep the ball incisive pass well that's the sign of a well organized defense long staff just have to make sure they don't get caught on the counter attack Joon potential danger can theyt aier Ryan Yates Johnson aier needs an accurate cross aier just unable to get his cross beyond the first Defender now what can they do from here really fine play to keep possession magnificent challenge to win it back ranking at PACE long ston and it's with plenty of players waiting in the middle Wilson and a foul in the opinion of the referee now what can they do from this free kick situation well they've been getting the substitute ready and now they will make the Personnel change it didn't have the beating of the wall unfortunately just to get it out of there b 20 minutes remaining mongala now aier good tackle take it away Joon and back with Wilson well the referee wasn't going to let that go and crossed in the direction of the back post well it was a decent attempt well that deserved a goal it's a great cross he found that bit of space in the box

doubts about remang F in possession might be able to produce from this position Yates G white oh marvous save great goalkeeping can he deliver it with accuracy relatively straightforward to mop up defensively they're trying to get right into his face now perhaps they can counter from here a throw and coming up for Newcastle Wilson what an important piece of Defending oh the referee has given it penalty it is and this could really make certain oh and it goes now he has his hattick a special for well as you can see from the replay the keeper tries to read the penalty but he's sent the wrong way and it ends up looking a very easy finish Has the strength to hang on to it well sadly they just couldn't keep possession bad Challenge and now it's up to the referee in terms of what to do next

silverware and over the years we've seen some great League Cup finals let's hope today matches up to some of those occasions really looking forward to this one Derek the opposition starting 11 well they're also play in a 4-33 formation but they play it in a slightly different way particularly in the wide areas where their fullbacks will get forward and rotate with the Wingers at every opportunity intercepting it intelligently aier and giving them too much on the flank now the cut back well thumped clear well you never quite know who's going to emerge from the shadows and become a match winner but man might be a decent shout what are you expecting to see from him Stuart well Derek there are a few better players in the air it's so dangerous when balls come into the box so expect Crossing to be a big part of their game plan today an important interception Miguel aliron he could out a teammate trapier onto Wilson happy to shoot well body in the way one block after another and what a magical save it now sending it in it still could be dangerous and the referee felt he had to blow the whistle well it clearly was deflected so it will be their throw in gim Joon back well pass

underway and one n it is let's see what happens next Mong Gibbs white and making the move to the inside as ice for goal crucial piece of Defending aliron it's with Joon Callum Wilson Monon he read the situation defensively and did his job being pressed here well that's how to Shield the ball and control it fipe good piece of Defending aliron long sta a classic example of how to intercept can still

he has options available Johnson composed and patient passing using his physical strength to make sure he doesn't lose the ball and gobl up with ease by The Keeper well as you can see from those stats
