Well this is it, the final game of a superb season, sees two very good sides battling it out in the cup final.
Both sides lining up in a variant of the 4-3-3 meaning this is going to be a fairly open game with plenty of joy for both sides wider players


Senseless:
Marky – I really like you’re team, has bags of experience and a really solid spine, to a man they’d give any side a run for their money, I very much like how Yaya is given the freedom to push on knowing that De Rossi and Khedira have his back defensively, arguably the strongest midfield trio in the DL, certainly on name….two good wingers and a potent striker….That said going forwards you’re team makes mine look young would be nice to see some youngsters in there somewhere

Pony:
Parky – It’s taken a while but you’re finally getting some depth, some would even say you have a squad….almost
I really like 2 thirds of your front three, still not sure on Muller or how he fits but as I’m clearly in the minority we’ll pretend he’s a worldy…. Rakitic and schneidy are superb in midfield and with Schweiny to come that’s a very good central midfield
That said Varane and Rugani whilst both talented I don’t think I’d trust them with two flying wing backs the way you’ve set-up as it invites pressure on your flanks and Alves doesn’t strike me as particularly astute defensively

Summary:
A close game between two evenly matched sides, as much as I like Parks midfield I still think Marky’s edges the midfield battle, Both sets of wingers would cause the opposition fullbacks nightmares, and for me that is where the game is won, the midfield is ground to a halt forcing width and I just think in that kinda game, someone like Costa could do enough to grind out a potential winner

Full Time: Sensless 2-1 Little Horse
Goals:
28 minutes – Costa (Yaya)
49 minutes – Aguero (Isco)
77 minutes – De Rossi (Florenzi corner)

MOTM – Costa – led the line well, giving his side a foundation to build from, took his goal well and at 44 becomes the oldest ever DL Cup winner
