Kyle is joined by Ian and Sophie to run through another Europa L... more

Enough of the domestic. We have an away in Poland to do, so block out the noise and let's get behind the boys - as hard as it might be at the moment!

Q: How much time does Régis Le Bris have to turn this around before his credit runs out?

Q: Could you tell us specifically what Lech Poznan's style of football is and how do you think you will set up against Sunderland on Thursday?
Jezyk describes Lech as possession-oriented and attacking, using wingers, overlapping fullbacks, and positional rotations. After their European losses, he hopes they will defend more compactly and attack on the counter.
