Absolutely relishing the game tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to the atmosphere at Wembley!!!
Only one thing is worrying me... Douglas Costa!
Tomorrow we will have Tripier and Sanchez playing on that left side and on that big Wembley pitch there will be space to expose behind them.
Does anybody else see this as a concern ahead of tomorrow?
Douglas Costa

Trippier is a good but not great player for me. Not top 4 quality but probably top 6/8. Don't mind him but don't want him first choice.
Both him and Aurier are currently a long way off the standard Walker set last season.

And what's frightening is that Walker is probably the best right back in the country and looks like a slight weak link in that City team. Well...he's given the ball away in a few games I've seen him.
Still doesn't seem right seeing him play for them

I think what he exceeds best at is his ability to run up and down the pitch all day and that is hampered slightly with them playing with wide men. Still got the most assists for any defender in the league this season (second season in a row).

Davies must be pushing him close. Pops up with a few goals too.
Anyway - long term Aurier should be our number 1 right back. He's not there yet though imo. Trippier is a fantastic back up and I'm much more comfortable with him as first choice in the big games than I would've been last season.

Yeah Davies 5 PL assists (coupla goals too).
Walker 6.
Trippier 4.

Trippiers 4 is hilarious though, includes that throw in he passed to Kane (Huddersfield away) were Kane turned his man and scored a screamer
To be fair Aurier would've probably not been able to execute it

They can't all be glorious assists like Tom Carroll's to Bale at Upton Park a few years back.
