    He might just be right, so he's not doing anything wrong in holding that view.

    This is something I've never understood and it's when people go after someone for their view on a match prediction.

    If we were good at winning finals and playing a lesser team, i'd be confident.

    We aren't good at winning finals, we are playing a team that are, and are also better than us.

    Hardly a wild take to not be confident like.

    It's the realistic view.

    I agree with you tbh, but we have a chance and that's something to look forward to.

    If you had to pick beating Liverpool once on neutral ground or beating forest Chelsea Brentford and Arsenal twice which would you think most likely?

    Essentially what we've already done was seemingly impossible to me, so I hold hope.

    There's quite a bit of time until the final, so let's see how the sides injury situations unfolds over that period.

    We need our luck to start now.

    We’ve got to be very happy we’re in a second final in three years. For all the post-defeat moaning (mainly me and GG, admittedly) overall the club is doing unbelievably well.

    I think we all just need the team to show up this time, but the big difference is the amount of big game players we have compared to last time. Botman, Tonali, Gordon, Isak and I even think Trippier and Hall reach levels in bigger games. We were so reliant on Bruno alone last time, it’s easy to shut that down. Now we have talent all over the pitch. I’m convinced we’ll give them a game, but concede we’ll most likely lose.

    It's whether we can deal with the occassion or not, we are a good team, but it's the pressure to win, it can make us just not perform.

    Nah, it sounded way more reasonable and considered than my usual bollocks.

    What's the point watching the game when apparently you already know what's going to happen?

    The game's over a month away and everyone else is just happy we're in the final.
