It’s the large cup closing on Sunday afternoon and Mauricio Pochettino has an opportunity to win some silverware in England and choose up the primary trophy beneath Chelsea’s new possession. It could possibly be an incredible day for all concerned on the membership, however they’ve the very powerful process of Liverpool standing in entrance of them.
So how will Pochettino method this one? Effectively, despite the fact that Liverpool usually are not Manchester Metropolis and they’re additionally now struggling a number of absentees similar to Chelsea are, I feel we have to method this one simply as we did on Saturday towards Man Metropolis, with the blueprint already there.
This implies take the sport to Jurgen Klopp’s facet and again yourselves and your personal potential. We had possibilities to go in 2 or 3 up by half time at Metropolis on Saturday, and if we go at this recreation on Sunday in the identical method and with the identical attitudes, now we have an opportunity to try this towards Liverpool as effectively.
Include and put numbers behind the ball when we have to, and look to counter assault. We may be really devastating on the counter assault if now we have extra finesse in entrance of aim. If we are able to try this, we are able to put the sport to mattress.
I do suppose that the subs we made within the second half had been too early and overly cautious. And that is what I imply by setting the blueprint for this recreation. Preserve the idea, and hold backing ourselves. As a result of for 45 minutes no less than, we had been higher than Metropolis on Saturday. And we may be higher than Liverpool on Sunday, particularly now they’re additionally affected by large harm numbers like ourselves.
I’m not silly although, I keep in mind the final recreation towards Liverpool just some weeks again, and I do know we’re additionally able to being really embarrassed. But when we stand as much as them and present no concern like on Saturday towards Metropolis, then we stand a good probability of bringing that trophy dwelling on Sunday night time and offering us all with a motive to have a good time after a protracted 19 months because the new homeowners took cost of the membership.
