4 weeks ago I would have seriously feared a major embarrassing derby defeat, now don't get me wrong the attacking flair they possess is dangerous but its not invincible.
We went to city and got a point and they have just as good if not better attacking players, and that was when we didn't have a manager who can organise a back line.
I have seen the goals last night and the defending left a lot to be desired, remember, PSG put 7 past Celtic at Celtic and they haven't been lauded over.
They will feel confident going into the game that they will batter us, myself, I don't see it and have a sneaky feeling we will nick a win from a set piece, which may I add they are shocking at.
Last nights result has no bearing whatsoever on Sundays game, and Sam will already have had a gameplan regardless of what happened last night.
I mean come on, you know as a defender not to allow a cross field ball across your own 6 yard area, and how many times did Moscow allow that last night, I'm sure our defensive drills will have already focused on this.
So yes they put 7 in last night but the shape was no different to the shape they have used all season.

IMO the reds are more of a counter attacking team rather than a build from the back, so as long as we don't go all out we should be able to contain them. If we go behind and then chase the game we will get battered. COYB.

I think this type of analysis is commonly known as whistling in the dark.
