You can guarantee we're losing another before this. My money's on Tonali. Cursed.

If that happens I’m not watching the fucker.

[huss9]

the shite thats won a trophy since 1969,

heartbreaking.

so many semi finals and runners up spots.

 

[The Prophet]

I just hope the team have a bit more mental resilience than the fans. We're in trouble if they don't.

[huss9]

once we get down to London on saturday evening and start mingling in covent garden the belief will come back.

I'd go...

 

Dubravka 

 

Trippier 

Schar

Burn

Tino 

 

Bruno 

Tonali

Joelinton 

 

Murphy 

Isak 

Barnes 

 

I guess the back four picks itself then.

[SteV]

Just remember the following team were a diabolical refereeing decision away from beating Mbappe and crew away in Paris:

Twitter now saying Isak and Tonali also potentially out.

The Tweet in question was someone trying to be funny. It's an absolute knee-slapper.

Nufc.com had a list at one point. Think it stands at 32 teams or thereabouts

 

Luton, Oxford, Wigan, Swansea, Portsmouth, Middlesbrough to name a few. Leicester 4 times.

Bradley and Gomez

Can’t wait for it to be over tbh.

[Geogaddi]

Genuinely fancied our chances after we beat Arsenal but we have looked poor since and with Hall, Botman and Gordon out its starting to look almost impossible.

[Nucasol]

Going to require a full on backs to the wall smash and grab for this. It’s football, so can happen but starting to be as optimistic for this as my Euromillions jackpot chances.

[Sima]

Us being without Hall, Botman and Gordon is equivalent to them losing Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk and Salah (their best full back, CB and winger).

 

We'd definitely fancy our chances more if that were the case but it's typical that it's obviously the other way around.  Like they need more help...

[NUFCDoog]

All comes down to how fit Isak is to how much of a chance we have now, even moreso with Hall, Botman and Gordon out.

 

Even if he was fully fit (he isnt) our chances wouldn't be good, but the fact he keeps having all these niggly injuries and can't seem to play a full 90 minutes, means he's deffo going into this game not at full power.

 

It's bloody typical, wish therr wasn't such a gap between Semis and final, we looked in good shape after that second leg.

No science behind this but I will only know we’re cooked when I see the lineups and we have two goalkeepers on the bench. 
 

Until then, I’m confident we’re winning it. 

[The Prophet]

Still looking forward to it. 

 

Losing Botman and Hall is obviously a blow and will require us to play an out of sorts Schar and Trippier. Both are experienced heads, but will need to cut out the silly errors for us to stand a chance.

 

I'm less concerned about Gordon given Joelinton and Barnes are both more than adequate cover.

 

Providing there are no more absentees it's still a decent side. I just hope that we beat West Ham to shift the momentum and form a little bit.

 

I still think Liverpool may prove too strong for us, but there's been bigger upsets in cup finals down the years. If we're on it, there's still a chance to break the trophy drought.
