Luton Town (A) - Tue 27th Feb, 20:00 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[Haaland94]

Rest Rodri, Phil, Ederson, KDB. Give a chance to the likes of Ortega and Gomez. Good when called upon, and it feels like forever since they were last involved. Finally, maybe Jack is ready for a 15-20 minute cameo? He could use it ahead of the rags.

We will lose this one whichever eleven start so prudent to give our star players a rest before the derby weekend.

I want rodri nowhere this, give him the night off entirely.

Starts for ortega, gomez, Lewis, nunes, doku, grealish and Bobb then fill in the gaps

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Dias
Gomez
Kovacic
Nunes
Bobb
Grealish
Doku
Alvarez

Something like that. Luton have half a chance of survival, this will likely secretly be an unwelcome distraction for them, I expect they'll rotate heavily themselves so no reason a team similar to that above cannot dominate and win comfortably.

No chance, lads will want to defend this trophy. One game at a time. Resting players can backfire, an injury in training. Rags have to play Wednesday. Get the game won!

Alright for Luton no game this weekend nice rest and a baying crowd Tuesday night in the cup

Can’t see us winning this one unfortunately. Pep is going to rest most of our better players for the derby. Considering there were only 4 teams left in the pot, we got the hardest away draw left.

Play like today and we will be either facing a replay or most likely out ..

Play like today and we will be either facing a replay or most likely out ..

did we play particularly badly today, i dont recall us defending for our lives or ederson making wonder saves, or lots of last ditch challenges, yeah we didnt win 4-0 but foden and stones were outstanding, ake was good, dias looked back to himself, rodri was rodri, kova carried the ball well and halland made a goal.

But at the start of the draw, we'd have been happy to get them.
Imagine having to play the dippers or the bumnal
