As to the team, I expect the same starting line up as per Wembley - the one question being Murray / Andone.

Personally I'd pick Florin, for a number of reasons - chief amongst them, that tomorrow's referee Kevin Friend is no fan of Glenn's style of play, and tends to judge against him in every single challenge.

(Against that, for those that believe in these things - Glenn has a real habit of scoring against his former clubs)

I've been wanting to keep this under my hat as the sample size is small so I'm not convinced myself, but:-

'Is Andone's 'hold up' play actually better than Murray's'?

I think Andone holds onto the ball better and more importantly stays upright to play the pass.
Anyone else picking up on this, as said I'm not entirely convinced myself, and as usual am happy to be wrong.

I agree - but I don't think that's the best thing about Andone being on the pitch. As soon as he comes on, the whole team step up a few yards, and start following up the long balls up front. This maybe because Andone holds it up well, but I think it's also because they know he's more likely to run for the ball and try and get behind the defence, and so follow him to support him. When Murray is on the pitch, they basically play for him to hold it up until they slowly get there, or win a free kick. Apart from the semi-final, the latter is happening a lot less frequently. There just seems to be more energy in the whole team when Andone's on.

Gem has spoken and its

Ryan
Montyoya Dunk Duffy Bernardo
Propper Stephens Bissouma
Knockaert Andone Locadia

ie: Ali J dropped and March not risked and/or fit enough.

says it could be 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 with AK playing behind Andone/Locadia

*he's predicted the line up accurately since Palace i think.

I like the look of that team. I don't think I am alone but I am definitely a Locadia fan and I am waiting for him to have a stormer.
