Looks like he'll start in the final.
Obviously we'd rather have Pope but since that is a no go now.
In some ways this is almost poetic for him, he's remembered for ****ing up a cup final. Now he makes his debut in a cup final, could really lay his demons to rest.
I can see him being very up for this, incredibly so and we've seen our keepers (Dubs for example) have brilliant debuts.

Gutted for Pope-this is a huge blow to him personally as well as professionally.
He'll relive it over and over again and wonder-like the rest of us-just what the actual fuck he was doing.
Karius as an option at least has 'big game' experience. And, much as he hasn't played for us in a competitive match (can you fucking believe it-that could only ever happen to us, first game a cup final replacing the 'keeper with the most clean sheets in the league) I feel strangely calm about him playing.

I'd be more concerned if it was Gillespie starting.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water!

Remember, no body gave us a chance in the Fairs Cup. We ARE daft enough to go and win it, against all odds.

He'll probably have a stormer and exonerate his previous experience with Liverpool. We will be pleased he was here.

Sorry but I can only see one result in the final, we seem to be on the slippery slope, and they are on the up, BUT, it’s a one off game and anything could happen,they have to be favourites which suits me.

So you thought we didn’t play well with 10 against 11? I did and was encouraged to see ASM play much better.
It was only one game but we could be turning the corner.
