Schneider is a huge worry for us. Surjan is the logical match-up for Milne. Raises the question of whether we use Logan or O'Shea on Schneider. Don't think Paul Stewart is focused or discilpined enough to play a tight run-with role. Jonas is a good suggestion, but I can't see him sneaking into what is going to be a tough 22 to pick.
They have four outright champion mids and a fifth who is very industrious in Jones. Hartlett needs to bring his best in the centre square to balance the odds for us a bit. As good as he is playing behind the ball, this is where he needs to exert himself as a genuine midfielder.
They seem to have undersized tall backs who get the job done incredibly well (Fisher, Gilbert, Dempster). As much as we might talk about stretching them with height, I don't think our forwards will have their way in contested marking situations.
Not sure where that leaves us to have any advantage. Hopefully, we just come out playing a terrific team brand of hard-running, fierce but creative football.
