Brentford (A) - Sun 28th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

I‘d go full strength, and go full whack at the game.
Element of risk, of course, but I think this is outweighed by the worry of us losing rhythm/momentum and not hitting our levels in the finals.

There’s no possibility of us going full whack. Even if Pep told them to go full whack the only players that would do so would be those trying to win a place. It would be like one of those matches where we’re 3+ up and spend the last 25 mins playing at walking pace and just passing the ball around

Ortega will be pissed off if he’s picked. It would almost certainly mean he won’t be starting at Wembley

Full strength for 60 mins then make 3 or 4 changes. Get to 75 mins then another 2 changes.
Certain players absolutely have to have rhythm to play at their peak. Thankfully Pep knows this and will respond accordingly.

Yup.

Same as Brighton. Strong team, make some changes, keep up a nice tempo, avoid defeat.

Ederson
Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake
Phillips, Gundogan
Mahrez, Alvarez, Foden
Haaland

 

[TinFoilHat]

Carson just signed a new contract.

He'll start.

:)

Be great to see Erling get a couple of goals - sharpen his gunman's eye before the finals. Once he's got his eye in he's unstoppable.

I’d go with:

Cooper
Fleming
Hinchcliffe
Bishop
Gayle
Redmond
White
Brightwell
Morley
Oldfield
Lake

Hinchcliffe can fuck off!

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Hinchcliffe can fuck off!

I’d give Ingebritzen and Groenendijk a run out.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Any news on Prince Phil and Johnny boy ?
