SO YOU'VE got a big bad foreign striker eh, Terengganu?

We know what we're up against. Been there, done that.

LionsXII coach V Sundramoorthy told The New Paper: "Francis (Doe Forkey) is a good player, but we'll treat him the same way we treat other foreigners.

"Tactically we must know how to cope with him."

This probably means the Dazzler will unleash his trio of defensive heroes – The Pitbull (Isa Halim), The Wall (Hariss Harun) and The Safe (Safuwan Baharudin) – on Forkey.

Three goals in two games for the mercurial Liberian hitman may be a fine statistic, but consider this – the LionsXII have not allowed a foreign player to score against them from open play so far this season.
