Lockyer

Not sure who out of them are first choice players

When Luton beat Bournemouth recently, only Kabore played from the list above.

When Luton beat Bournemouth recently, only Kabore played from the list above.

They have been down several players for the last few weeks.
Kabore can't play against us.
Ogbene is a big loss to them, superfast.

 

[Bluesince1979]

While we definitely need to rest some tomorrow we can’t afford to go to overdo it. Hopefully KDB and Ederson will be back tomorrow. Would like to see Haaland start as he needs goals.

As long as we have a strong enough side out we should be fine.

Yep. These people advising us playing a nigh on second eleven have been playing too much football manager

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I hope the Luton manager deploys the same high line as he did in the FA Cup game.

I also hope Rodri is nowhere near this game.

 

[ysmsa]

You don't think that team could beat Luton?

You need to have more faith in the players, that's still a good team.

Luton are a decent tidy outfit, so I think a makeshift 11 put together on paper may get beat.

Not worth the risk.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

We go strongest 11 until the end of the season for me; it’s the gamble we need to take as it will shape the outcomes and hopefully luck is on our side…

Also goal difference is a distinct possibility, not being presumptuous as it’s not manifested in games like originally thought this year, however, we can chip away at it by going full throttle in games like this, it has to be in our thinking…

A 4/5 goal tally would be more than welcome and can see haaland replicating the fa cup game..

4-1, all for the Viking who is undoubtably about to rack up some numbers to balance his mean!

 

[lasereyes]

Yeah but if you're at the game she can do the housework ;)

1950s alert

 

[blue for life]

I think it will be the usual arrogant 4-5 nil predictions. We will struggle to break them down and end up winning 2-1

 

[MadchesterCity]

Kinell let me get over madrid first

It’s a young mans game, I was wrecked afterwards, two games and a 16 hour snooze, savage! Top blues in Madrid and the airport

 

[Father Paul]

I honestly think this. Rodri should not even be in Manchester, let alone on the bench. There should be no temptation to bring him on.
Jesus, if the champions of Europe and the World can't beat Luton at home with what they've got, less Rodri, at this absolutely crucial stage of the season then they simply don't deserve to be champions again in 2023-24.
Rodri needs to be at least slightly fresh for the return fixture against Real. Because they'll come at us with everything they've got, and no messing.

If Rodri starts tomorrow serious questions may have to be asked down the line.
