You got a preferred lineup for the game Scouse? Im torn between Gomez in for Matip but the gangly giraffe has looked like a new player alongside VVD.
Yeah, I'm feeling totally sick for Joe. He was every bit as good as big Virg before the cruel injury at Burnley. And that partnership was phenomenal. The game at Wembley against Tottenham ..... just HOW good was JMG in that? But, as is often the case in football, one man's terrible luck is another's opportunity. And Matip has grabbed it with both hands and then some. Our most improved player this season for me to the point I'm extending him in a heartbeat after Madrid. Which is a massive turnaround as I'd have well sold him the summer. So I don't see how you can drop him for the biggest game of all when he's been playing to such a high level ever since he can into the side.
The only question mark for me is in the midfield and which one of Gini or Milner get's the nod? Henderson and Fabinho pick themselves. But who get's the last slot is open to debate. Think I'd edge toward Gini starting as Milner offers so much in most every position he'd be an ideal weapon to have among my subs. As harsh as it would be on him to not start Saturday.
The rest of the team picks it's self. Bobby's Bobby so I'm not concerned on his fitness.
I think one of the biggest mistakes Pochettino's ever going to make is bring Kane back in from the off. I don't blame Kane. He might never get the chance to play in a European Cup final again so he's naturally gonna' claim he's fully fit. Even if he's nowhere near that in likelihood. But if the staff fall into the trap of believing him then I think it will be to Tottenham's detriment. Aside from anything else, they're a lot better 'team' without him when they aren't relying on him to pull them out of the ____. And Moura was a serious handful the second half at Anfield when they switched tactics. Took us a good half hour to wrestle that one back.
The real boss thing though mate, going back to ourselves, is I don't think there'd be many complaints on whatever side he selects given the quality depth is so high across the board. Which is a massive turnaround in-itself hey?
Honestly never been as confident going into a European Cup final as this one. Yeah, anything can happen in a one off final but we're a far better team than Tottenham. With all the European know-how. To me, we're what Madrid were last year. Tottenham, like ourselves in Kiev, are bouncing in just elated to be in the final and enjoying the occasion. Then Madrid went 'That's nice and all lads. But we're old hands at this. We're better than you. Ramos is a shithouse. Cop for that. Another victory. It's what we do.' These lads have that experience now, Back-to-back finals. The majority have been involved all three European finals under Klopp the past 4 years. We know what to expect and how to handle the biggest spotlight in sports come Saturday evening. This is one of, if not the, current top side in Europe. All these lads do is win games of football. Not draw them and lose. Win. Consistently. Like nottin we've ever seen before. Lead by one of the best managers the World over. All things being equal #6 is coming home.
Absolutely buzzing for this mate.
And this will be just the start.
