    Actually a sensible tactic at the moment, Sancho and Garnacho have been crap when starting but good as subs

    Very much so.

    People still obsess about individual players and whether A is “better” than B, whereas under ETH it’s more about the team as a collective.

    Eactly!

    I also think that if Weghorst is going to play, then he needs to start. He's not really the type who you're going to bring on to change the game.

    Assuming the leaked team is correct, we will have Sancho and Garnacho to bring on as attacking threats.
     
    Looks like Weghorst instead of Sancho with Rashford wide. Will probably see a 60 minute sub to bring him in. Antony brings more control I guess but I like Sancho for his decision making. Nerves kicking in
     
    I'm scared. Not of Newcastle, just that it's a final and I desperately want to win. It could be really big for the rest of our season and even beyond that.

    Think Rashford would find it tough up against Botman and Schar who are pretty physical. He will have the beating of Trippier.
     
    I want to see Newcastle being pressed high and hard today. I dont believe their defenders are very good footballers and of course their GK is hopeless.
     
    Been feeling proper nervous today and it just builds up even more. Can't stress enough how much I want us to win! Will be a very, very difficult game but I hope we can score early and dominate the rest of the game.

    What does that actually mean?

    We take part in a number of competitions season in, season out, all of which are 'proper' trophies to be won. The idea that only two matter and that the Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup, etc, are 'noise' is a weird attitude that I don't even understand. What's just 'noise' about the major domestic cups, or the second biggest European competition?

    Some people view themselves as connoisseurs who only recognise the PL and UCL as true wins. They're too unself-aware to release they sound like pompous fools who think they know more than SAF, Pep and Mourinho, who have all valued the trophy.
     
    I forgot this nervous feeling…been so long.

    What a fecking day this could be lads…Ten Hag winning the first trophy he’s had a crack at.

    I reckon we’ll win it, but probably about a 7.5/10 level of confidence.

    Let’s not overreact if we lose today - the progress is there, one iffy result doesn’t undo that.

    But more likely, if we win, let’s fecking savour what’s hopefully the first of many.

    Can you imagine how mental Casemiro’s celebration will be if we get it done today…

    Wout over Sancho or Sabitzer is quite strange imo. Especially after having to be hauled off mid-game 3 days ago for being utterly ineffective. The insistence with him is a bit baffling. I would certainly opt for Sabitzer if I wanted more energy and Sancho if I wanted more creativity. Anyway, it is what it is.

    ‘EPL’. Put that away, Acronym, dear, your dinner is getting cold.
