Loving this.
I think we’re ahead physically in preparation and that’s why we have a great chance to win this. I don’t want to read into it so much.
But that said, we look organised. We’re winning our duels. And we’ve played a tall, strong team to maximise the set pieces, which clearly we’ve done, that’s great!
Part of me thinks winning another trophy in part because we’re physically ahead cheapens it…but it doesn’t. Plenty of the teams that have been collecting trophies in the last few years have done so because of lucky draws or quirks like this. At the end of the day you have to beat what’s in front of you, and get yourself the opportunities to be in those matches in the first place. So hell yeah I’m happy.
