Seriously though, its a final and its about whoever turns up. We have plenty of experienced players and have just as much chance of winning.
The fact that we actually got to a final is more important to me. But thats because England and West Ham have consistently disappointed since '66 so we are used to failing.
No other reason than gut feeling it, I do think we will win (and if we dont, I'll consign like all the other times we've been disappointed)
Oh wait 😜
Terracciano 70
Dodo 69 Milenkovic 74 Martínez 70 Biraghi 71
Castrovilli 70 Amrabat 72
Ikone 68 Bonaventura 71 Gonzalez 73
Cabral 68
Antonio 68
Fornals 72 Paqueta 75 Bowen 74
Rice 81 Soucek 75
Cresswell 71 Zouma 77 Aguerd 69 Coufal 73
Areola/Fabianski both 70
I think Aguerd is underrated at 69 although his "potential" rating is 72 but on FM23 it looks like we have a slight edge
On Friday Gaetano Castrovilli managed to hit his knee against the goalpost and was limping at the end of the game. He missed the first half of the season after surgery on the same knee but Italiano says it was just a bruise
Nicolas Gonzalez also had to go off after an hour due to injury
"We have analysed West Ham. They are very strong. They have legs"
Damn it, he's discovered our secret!!!
Also they're practising penalties. It could be a long night
Italian website Kickest has listed AM Antonin Barak and GK Salvatore Sirigu as injured
Martin claims "Barak is a key player for Fiorentina" although he's only started 30 of the 50 matches he's been available
As for Sirigu...oh boy
Martin reckons "He is not Fiorentina’s number one goalkeeper" but "should number one stopper Bartlomiej Dragowski suffer an injury in the next couple of days or get sent off during the game, not having the reliable Sirigu serving as a backup will be a problem for Fiorentina."
Sirigu has been injured since the beginning of April
Bartlomiej Dragowski left Fiorentina to join Spezia last August and has made 34 appearances this season

Maybe the internet is slower in Aylesbury
Not long now. ⚒⚒
Do I watch the final or do I watch live island. What say you @Ravel49 ?
❤️🏝️
Not long now ⚒⚒⚒
But I feel I must embrace it.
