Monaco not Moscow. Hate predictive text!

This. Not going to win the CL, so FA Cup should be given priority.

Have I missed something?

This. Not going to win the CL, so FA Cup should be given priority. We already have a 2 goal cushion for Monaco, so that should be fine even with a slightly weakened team. But, then we also have Liverpool next week which is even more important. Pep has a real problem of team selection for the 3 games.

You don't know our club well, CL will be given top priority!!

We can win both

Expecting pep to go strong with a few changes. Zaba delph nolito maybe the 3 to get game time. Don't see the point in him resting to many players as what would have been the point in putting out a strong side in the previous rounds?

Maybe an appearance for vinny?

Not sure how seriously Boro will take this game

They're in a relegation fight so have much much bigger fish to fry... but then again it will be a big crowd and 1 step from Wembley

If they're up for it and go full strength, we really can't afford to rest too many players or we'll come a cropper

Anything anywhere to suggest that Vinny is fit to play?

Yes. Peps press conference before Stoke saying hes been back in full training for a few days now and the vid on the website of him training.
