Good mix of youth and experience is required to get this win.

I'd replace Booth with that annoying ginger kid Brandon

I'm surprised no one's picked Billy Meredith's Ghost.
Sure to play with spirit.

Some fair debate going on.

It’s the get the guys playing to ensure we keep a rhythm argument vs protect the guys for the final.

There are pros and cons in both of course. Appreciate the Brentford and Inter comparisons but not sure how accurate that is? The occasion and the heat in Istanbul will play a huge factor in that game too.

We pushed Liverpool into having to play their best players every game last year and they were not great in the FA cup / Champions League final. Did they run out of steam? Which makes me think resting players might be the better approach?

If we don't then Brentford could be the new Spurs away... adding to his target for next season?

nothing, i repeat nothing can compete with spurs away. I get shivers even thinking about playing there.

Lovely blend of talent - I do not discriminate

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.

Sums it up for me that it's all about opinions.
Mine is exactly the opposite to yours.
IMO we go weak ( i.e. Chelsea ) and possibly lose rhythm/momentum but this is more than outweighed by the risk of injury to key players.
Who'd be a Manager hey :)

@Protein Junkie would I be used as a traditional centre back or expected to play in midfield?

I need to know for insurance purposes.

No I see you as the fulcrum in defence :-)

Oh thanks, now I've got to go on Google to see what my role is.

Edit: wow, yes I am the full crumb.
