Good morning Reds everywhere, just woke up, no I donāt mean Iām more socially aware, from a sleep which was alcohol induced, so Iām nursing a bit of a hangover, fry up on the go, preceded with ice cold Irn Bru, feeling better already,ā¦..
Itās here at last, a day out at Wemberlee, a day where we once again light up North London with our colourās our flags & banners, where the swirling of red&white scarfs at the final whistle will be a sight to behold, belting out āYouāll never walk Aloneā with the tears flowing with joy & happiness so looking forward to all those celebrations, a league cup final, A domestic cup final we havenāt had for a wee while, but the taste will be so sweet we will want moreā¦.
Our boys will be ready, not just fitness levels but mentally, JĆ¼rgen and his staff are specialists at preparation for these kind of games, big games where a win is the ultimate no matter what, everyone knows what their task is, everyone on the same wavelength, we work as a unit together as one, we are the mentality monsters, we know how to get things done, especially finalsā¦
The X1 to start ā¦..
Kelleher
Trent Matip Virgil Robbo
Hendo Fabinho Thiago
Salah Mane Diaz
Bench; Alisson, Konate, Kostas, Milner, Naby lad, Jones, Ox, Taki, Jota, Gomez, Divock
Much debate whether Konate plays with Virgil but as accomplished as Konate is, I think Matip is better suited, he gets my nod, big shout out to Kelleher, he must be absolutely buzzin, to play in a major final and more importantly knowing that he has JĆ¼rgenās trust, that in itself will fill him with confidence, with Trent, Joel, Virgil & Robbo in front of him is extra special for him,
Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago are probably our strongest midfield trio, ably backed by Milner, Naby Ox, Jones, donāt think Harvey will feature, so plenty of options and trust, up top itās possible Jota starts but given that he struggled to be fit I doubt JĆ¼rgen will throw him in at the start, so for me it will be Salah, Mane & Diaz, with Mane through the middle,
Five subs are allowed giving us extra options, probably see Milner, Jota, Taki, & Divock, & Ox or Naby, bit of a lottery depending on how weāre doing?
Think itāll be as tight as a Nunās punanni with only one or two in it either way, however, I think at the moment we are flying and will take some beating, so Iām edging us to win it within 120, canāt see it going to pens but if it does, well Iām biased, 5-4 to us.
3-1 Mighty Redmen
