Iām going with the tried and trusted 4-3-3 in the hope Arse come out to play,(being at home) to be fair to them they have been decent at home with Captain Scarlet and his mysterons playing quite openly, that will suit us to a tee so long as we play with plenty of pace and tempo, this could be a goal fest and whoever blinks first will be saying syonara for another season,
Iāve put my trust in young Kaide over Taki, for me Taki hasnāt really shown his best and Kaide is still a bit of a unknown, think heāll surprise a few and heāll be full of beans, Iād like the top three to exchange positions from time to time and keep Arse on their toes, love to see Wee Harvey sometime second half too, with Trent coming inside, aka, start of the season, just felt that that offered a different element of attack, albeit without Mo further ahead,
Iāve also gone for Gomez to partner Virgil, not so long ago they were our go to CB pairing, they know each other inside and out and are very solid and very quick, again a slight element of surprise here, Arteta will have done his due diligence on Matip & Konate not so much Gomez, me feels,
Canāt have Hendo & Milner together centrally, it simple doesnāt work, if we want to get through we need to push the boat out, so for me Curtis offers a bit more creativity, and heās noticeably getting better since returning, heās hungry, heās passionate and heās Scouse, what more do you need in a second semi knockout winner takes all heart thumping, arse dancing slug fest ?
Think this will go all the f***in way, ET, Pens, the lot, but I think weāll scrape it, Kelleher saving the final pen to go through, itās gonna be tight folks !!
2-2 , 5-6 on pens
