Coutinho would play dream through-balls to Auba. Might be the perfect foil for him.

I can't remember the last time Arsenal losing a final or a trophy at Wembley. Not sure but i think the last time they lost was against us in 2001 in the FA cup, and I think it was at the Millennium. May be they lost in the community shield later on but not in the cup.

Lost to city in the league Cup 2 or 3 years ago but on the whole we don't lose semi or final games at Wembley

Hopefully better than your last prediction. Brewster

Much better second half in terms of intensity. Minamino looking sharp is encouraging.
Can’t ignore the continuous problem of the lack of creativity in midfield though. Despite all the possession again our only goal came from a slice of luck from the ricochet
Thiago is a must, but you can guarantee we fack it up.

Good to see Minamino score (do these goals count?)
Keita should start in midfield. Wrong decision to bench him.
Williams is promising but will get exposed. Probably end up seeing Gomez cover at RB.
Mane once again the main threat up front which is a concern.

arsenal were poor enough.
the issue is lfc were open at the back, turgid in modfield and firmino and salah were woeful.
not good bascially, very very sloppy on the ball and wasteful up front as usual.
