I hope he goes maverick and starts Amad but it's very unlikely he will do.

Having a player like Amad in the final could be important too as he can actually hold onto the ball.

These predicted lineups just show the gulf in class we are dealing with though.

Pretty slim chances. City have already battered us twice when we were in better form and they were in worse.

So, you're saying there is a chance right?

Cup game, so anything can happen. But I do not have much hope.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Same here. I don’t even have the confidence of ETH putting out the best XI available to him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which XI would you select VC?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t know who is available yet.

Fair enough. You never know with our lot do you!

Of course City are rightfully favs from a form and expectation perspective, no doubt imo but it's a one off game and what's the point in watching it following a club if even a wee part of you doesn't think we can win?

You just never 100% know for sure, that's part of the enjoyment of football

I'm really not sure how we'll do, as long as we put up a good fight, don't gift them anything then I'd be happy.

We need another Liverpool type performance to pull this through.

It's a final and against our rivals so we will raise our game no doubt and try our best. I don't think we will get hammered.

Our best isn't usually good enough though against City. They don't have many off days.

2-1 again or maybe 3-1 to them is my prediction and I really really hope I'm wrong.

Be closer than people think

Agree my only concern there is they score really early and put us out of shape trying to get it back and they get space

If you discount the first 15 seconds from last season's final we drew the game 1-1...

Of course we can win, unlikely,true, but football is full of upsets.
I think we need Licha fit, Antony not picked, Bruno at his best, I would play Hojlund, he's faster than Rashy on the break.

We need their team to come down with food poisoning, but even then we'll still end up losing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So if they don't batter us they'll just sh!t on us?

We've lost so many games to them, surely we get lucky. Old Bruno is back too!!!

The tickets didnt didn’t sell out on the first ballot which shows the belief in the fan base, we have nowhere near the testicular fortitude required for the task, boring predictable easy win for Abu Dhabi 115

Lads. Chillax.
It's only lickle Ciddy... are you lot wearing your home strip of goggles and flippers?

10% chance I reckon

I'd take that will still watch the game and scream at the TV but agree, we're defo the heavy underdugs but you just never know

Ederson will miss the final it’s been confirmed. Must have been worse than I thought. Ortega is a very solid keeper but he isn’t as good as Ederson.

Agree but he did make a few great saves just there, would still prefer him to Ederson however

Less than a 5% chance for me

Bookies are putting us at 8/1.

I thought we’d be higher.

I’d say we win this game maybe once in 20 attempts.

Old Bruno is back too!!!

…..

Jesus effing Christ. It was for one game. He has been mostly kak all season long.

We’ve got one chance. No chance.
