suck it up what you're looking for is the weaknesses on the turnover you're looking for like okay so if they do play three at the back and the wing backs are high and wide a little bit like Fragman said let's say they greased it you know like where they took the wide players inside the full backs provide the width you know when we turn the ball over you know you want to tell Troy Parrott can you tend to pick up these areas on the halfway line because as centre backs we want to know where he is so if I'm under pressure and my head's down I can't get a look I need to know in my mind's eye
I'm trying to hit a certain area on the halfway line because Troy Park's going to be in that area.
There's no point in me clearing it down the right-hand side and Troy's over on the left, you know.
So you're just trying to figure out ways to counter-attack.
So, like you said, you will be looking back more at his club game and then look at the players' disposal.
Listen, my confidence levels is such that if we don't win on Thursday night, I'll be incredibly disappointed and afraid of morning.
Yeah, that's true.
You know, I will be like, Jesus, that was an opportunity.
Because listen, and that's not saying that they're a poor side.
They're not.
They're a very good side.
But this is a very winnable game for us.
And if we implement our game plan and we have the mindset correct, we should come out of this game.
And I'm fully expecting us to, without being any arrogance or condescension towards the Czechs.
Tuesday night, Denmark is going to be a very difficult game.
You know, if we do get there and I don't want to get ahead of myself and my confidence is we lost to Denmark, I'll be saying, well, you know, it's fair enough.
But I'm expecting us to win on Thursday and I'm expecting to have a lovely, happy media shows on Friday.
And I just think that the build up then from Thursday to Tuesday is just like, I mean...
We've missed stuff like that, you know, to be in the country where, you know, it will come to a standstill in the lead up to that game.
And I just hope that that will be huge progress for everybody involved and it will give us a huge lift going into Euro 2028.
