We could have gone into the final, in form, all players fit and eligible to play and still lost.
Just enjoy it for what it is, a cup final, a day out, a chance at glory.
Exactly. Football's weird like that. If we'd been flying, we'd be looking at Man U playing Barca on Thursday and believing we'd win easy 'cos they'd be knackered - then we'd get turned over.
Karius could start and cost the game. He could play and be MotM. Football is all about stories and for us it's what we do on the day. I actually think the players have been poor since getting to the final; at least it's now here, let's see what they do, then rejoice/moan endlessly afterwards. The point is there will be more of these in the coming years as we become an ambitious, competitive club.
