    They'll play pretty deep and defend with a low block and hope to counter.. Need a good soild start with good possesion and be patient.

    You can't beat a cup final, even if it is the one of least importance. Probably shows how far we've come on in recent years under Jurgen.

    It shows we finally, have a squad capable of challenging for all available trophies, it's the first season we've had that since Jurgen arrived, even the pundits who love to hate us have said as much

    Exactly mate. Unlike these other managers who walk into huge squads Jurgen was handed a 4th to 6th placed squad at best.

    I personally think it’s a mistake to use Kelleher. If it’s to reward him for his contribution to the campaign, surely Minamino would be starting. I just don’t understand it and don’t like sentiment creeping in to team selection. Obviously, I hope I’m totally wrong.
    I bet you can squeal like a pig!

    I love that he’s stuck with Kelleher

    Sends a message of confidence throughout the squad

    It's what pretty much every club with 2 very good keepers does, they guarantee their second keeper the domestic cup games, including the finals if they get there, Kelleher is an outstanding young keeper, has been outstanding in all his performances this season and last and absolutely should be starting
