Team for Napoli
by Paulpowersleftfoot Sun Oct 15, 2017 7:34 pm
Napoli have won 13 on the bounce and not lost away in serie A for nearly a year so I fully expect Tuesday night to be the toughest test so far.
I've watched a few of their games and they are a different side to anything we play in the PL,they press aggressively very high up the pitch but have players really good on the ball at the back so are not as likely to panic and give the ball away cheaply as is the want with many we face domestically as they are often found technically wanting when put under pressure.
Unlike many high pressing sides they don't particularly look to get at teams from out wide,they have 3 really tricky players in Hamsik Mertens and Insigne who interchange centrally and are really clever off the ball. I can see Otamemdi in particular having a very hard time with the movement
They are an unusual Italian team in that they will come at us,they won't be coming to defend and look to pick us off on the break
Promises to be a cracker
Ederson
Walker Stones Otamendi Danilo
DeBruyne Fernandinho Silva
Sane Aguero Jesus

However, I agree. Think this will be a proper test, so 3 points will be a great result.
I'd be surprised if he plays most of the same team as yesterday. Can see Bernardo and even Gundogan getting game time.
Danilo at LB seems a good shout....and I'm assuming Aguero was saved for this game.
