Two coin tosses. The first to choose ends, the second to decide who takes the first penalty. We lost both but won the shootout.

Kompany is back fit and Stones is back for Wednesday. Laporte has played a lot of football this season and the rest may do him some good as long as it's not a long term problem.great win but at what cost. If Ferna and Laporte are out for "weeks" as Pep says, we seriously jeopardise our chances in the other 3 competitions, especially the league. The more games you ask them to play the higher probability they get injured, and both these injuries were non contact injuries.
My wife thinks I'm weird, but I love penalty shoot outs, if you lose, well its disappointing, but I can cope (luckily I support a team that doesn't really lose them), but when you win, its the best way to win. To win a cup final that way is even better, that's three we've won at wembley now ;-)
And that sir is why Pep doesn't follow your posts.I'd play KDB in the defensive role. He's done it enough for Belgium.
IIRC there was a time when one toss did for both - you chose the ends but then your opponent had choice of first or second penalty, or vice versa, but those days are gone.

Yes, it was a final, and we did get a cup :)Are you counting Gillingham as a cup final,
