John Caulfield vows to go on the attack

John Caulfield has no intention of simply defending Cork City’s away-goal advantage in tonight’s Europa League first round second leg clash against Linfield.

“There’s still a lot of work to be done,” Caulfield stressed. “The game is still very much in the balance. They play very direct, with a 4-4-2 and play the ball long down the channels, with young Smith getting in behind. They play a lot of set-pieces, you could see every dead ball they got in our half the delivery was good, and we’d expect a lot more of that tomorrow.

“I think you’ve just got to go out and attack, you can’t approach it any other way. We did the same in Belfast because we felt we could win the match, and tomorrow night I don’t see any difference. You’d be foolish to go out and sit back, and our plan is to go out and score early.”
