I can only see them time-wasting if we get it to 2-1. While they lead by 2 they will bombard us at pace to get a 3rd goal to kill it off. Their style is to get forward quickly, as they did at our place at 0-0. They got a shot on target, forcing our keeper to block it for a corner in the first 20 seconds. Their manager worked out ages ago that the most effective way to negate our pass - pass - pass game is to be quicker, stronger and more direct, and it has worked repeatedly. The only way our gane will beat them is if we carry it out extremely quickly and accurately. Last Sunday we played slowly, giving them loads of time to cover, and our passing accuracy was inconsistent. That's why their method overwhelmed us, and that is where we need to improve.
They'll be unlikely to change their in-game tactics when they have the ball but otherwise they'll be doing all they can to slow it down.
