I hate the way LOI managers denigrate their sides before going into these European games. Caulfield is talking about giving up 60-70% of the possession.... Your Champions of Ireland FFS and not having a bad season either. Your at home, in front of a raucous crowd ... Have a f***king go... Talk about having a fortress mentality..

Also, the way some people go on about it... You swear Dinamo Minsk had just collected their winner medals from the world cup.

Rant over

We cede majority possession to teams here,let alone Legia. Just have a go is nonsense advice. We'll play to our strengths.

Sheppard up front tonight. Sadlier and cummins on the bench. Delaney starts too. Keohane Buckley and mcnamee behind Sheppard

Holy Moly - Leaving out your two top goalscorers and going 4-6-0 is playing to your strengths?

Delighted to see Peter Cherrie start for Cork tonight.

Interesting formation, false number 9? No one can accuse Caulfield of being predictable.

I can understand Sadlier being dropped, he is not really a team player.

The one area that concerns me is the full backs, but with that formation I would ecpect Cork to play with two wide midfielders with a view to protecting the flanks.

It'll be interesting to see how that formation works.

Have Cork played with this formation before or is Caulfield trying it out for the first time?

**pineapple stu** · 10/07/2018, 7:21 PM

Red card Legia?

This is interesting now.

Edit - maybe not? Futbol24 playing silly buggers it seems.

TNS having a Macedonia in the Champions League; 5-0 down in Skopje with 20+ still to play

**patrickccfc** · 10/07/2018, 7:39 PM

That chance for Barry mcnamee, that was a golden opportunity, but he mis-kicked it. Happy enough so far though

**Nesta99** · 10/07/2018, 7:39 PM

So far so good for Cork. Weathered the pressure that came on them at times well. Keep it at 0-0!

So far, yes! Shep is up top.

**DFCForever** · 10/07/2018, 7:50 PM

Cork are doing well so far but I'd be sceptical of their approach. It seems like Caulfield is hoping for a 0-0 so he can go to Poland and get an away goal, which is a dangerous tactic imo. Maybe he's waiting until Legia get tired to throw on the likes of Sadlier in an attempt to win. All will soon be revealed.

**CorribsideSteve** · 10/07/2018, 8:03 PM

5,795 (i think) was announced as the attendance, looks more, may have misheard it. Fair play Cork, very creditable to be 0-0 facing 60 mins with a team this good.

note seeds v non seeds
in fairness Tetovo were the top unseeded team...
the other two are the Lux team getting a draw and Sheriff Tirapsol lost away...
