I am set now.

Start with Moura and Son. They deserve to play, are fit (one would presume) and have the pace to keep Liverpool's full backs fearful of going forward.

Defence is an issue or the right back position is. Combine Trippier and Aurier and you still have concentration lapses but also quality. It will probably be Trippier but I would go for Aurier's physicality and pace.

Winks and Sissoko all day long based on this season.

Then Alli and Eriksen who can both play ahead of the positions they were emplpyed in at the latter stages of the season.

Have Kane on the bench to bring him on and scare the living daylights out of Liverpool 15 minutes into the second half if necessary.

It's easy to say Liverpool are favourites. It's easy to say our name is on the cup.

It's a damn sight harder picking our starting line-up but I would disappoint Trippier and respect Moura, and not out of sentiment but because I think it's the right call.

COYS!!!

Agree with your team selection & thinking completely, but with one change. Unless Aurier is utterly ripping it up in training, I think Trips will/should start ahead of him. Or else having him, Winks & later on Kane taking part that would mean us have 3 players returning from injury and I think that is too risky.

Good point.
 
Saturday will be nothing like today's final. The two teams dicked around for the first half.

Liverpool will press like nutters on bin day from the first moment, so we will have to run our bollocks off for the first twenty minutes.
 
Jurgen Klopp flies to Kabul to watch a young Afghani play football.
He is suitably impressed and arranges for the player to come over.

Two weeks later Liverpool are 2-0 down to Newcastle with only 20 minutes
left. The manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod, and on he goes.

The lad is a sensation. He scores 3 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game
for Liverpool . The fans are delighted, the players and the coach are
delighted and the media love the new star.

When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his
first day in English football.

'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today, we were
2 - 0 down but I scored 3, they call it a hat-trick, and we won.

Everybody loves me, the fans, the press, they all love me.'

'Just wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day …

Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were ambushed and
assaulted, she would have been raped but for a passing police vehicle.

Your brother has joined a local gang of looters and set fire to some
buildings and all while you tell me that you were having a great time!!'

The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm really sorry.'

Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' says his mum.

'It's your bloody fault we came to Liverpool in the first place.

With good reason. Watching the road to the final all we seemed to do was ship goals in the first five minutes.

Thank fuck we have a Sissoko shaped backbone that can drag the rest of the team back from any early blunders kicking and screaming.
