Not rocket science to work out what's needed against any Mexican side away from home. Herbert has to park the bus with the players he knows have done that for him in the past (so Bertos/Lockhead etc all play) and hope like hell we don't concede early. We'll also get 2 or 3 clear chances in the game, and also hope like hell, that we take one. Wood must be the one that plays up front.

I have no doubt that we can win from 1 or 2 goals down in the tie at Wellington, but equally have no doubt, that if we concede early in Mexico City, it'll be all over rover. Our only card at the Azteca is the home side's self doubts.
