I don’t think Jürgen will risk Matip even if he does come through a couple of training sessions, this is one game, there’ll be another 19 after this one to set the record straight, they know they are in a false position, they know too that both ourselves and Shitty are the real contenders and they are simply the form team, normality will prevail when it matters most at the end of the season NOT halfway,
It’s a gamble but I think Jürgen will play Nat Phillips next to Fabinho and have Hendo in front protecting, it’s risky I know but I think the emphasis tomorrow will be to attack their back line, if Joel makes it then fine but I think it’s too high a risk, we can’t expect the lad to be at his best, which he will need to be against this lot, in his first match back from injury, we risk losing him for weeks if we do, and we simply cannot afford for that to happen, like I said this is one match, it’s not a title decider, it’s not even a MUST win either, yes it’s against the enemy, and the team you wanna beat the most, but the league isn’t won or lost in one game,
We’ve been absolutely pants recently, but what better game is there to get back on track, remember, form goes out the window in these fixtures, I remember when MUtants were in their prime we would still go there and give them a game, and f***in do them, so I have no worries that we won’t be up for it tomorrow,
I reckon Jürgen will have worked his magic on our lads, and we will see a different animal, a slightly wounded one granted from baggies Toon etc, but one that says write us off at your peril.
3-1 Champions
