My random guess is that Pep will go 3-5-2 on Tuesday, just have a sneaky feeling he will think it’s a game worth keeping tight.

Ederson

Nico
Stones
Laporte

Walker
Dinho
Kev
Merlin
Danilo

Serg
Raz

it's a game worth winning by 3 or 4 so that we can rest players in the home leg amidst a stretch of 2 arsenal games and chelsea at home.
 
No question we will prioritise this tie and play understrength v Wigan. With the three huge games in a week or so after that which will potentially win Pep his first trophy and push us very near winning the league we will want to not have too much to worry about in the second leg of this tie. And the FA cup will in any view of things be the 4th priority in our situation and with the injuries meaning we cannot overplay the fit players left.
 
Don’t be so daft, every game is “worth winning by 3 or 4” obviously, it’s just never quite so simple.

well, not when you're selecting teams to keep it tight, clearly they aren't? We go, pick our best team, and hope they do the business, not change shape just to "be tight". The more goals we score on Tuesday the better chance we have in the tie.
 
Sorry for going off topic, can’t find the thread, any news about PEPs contract extension, I was hoping it would be announced right after PEGs announcement to take the wind out of his sails, just hope he stays for many years to come.. PEP that is
