This. I will never tire of seeing my team at Wembley, even if my wallet says otherwise!

Trophies are what counts for me.

Before wednesday's game and result I'd have happily taken a modified team in to this. As soon as Pep rotated against stoke and got that poor result my mind changed and I think we should go all in for both the cup and the CL.

Agreed. Win the CL & FA Cup then dont need to worry about top 4 anyway!!
 
We need to go all out to win this. I would be playing a strong line up and just hope we don't pick up any injuries

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.
 
Don't think it's their priority. Just know that regardless of who goes through it will need extra time n pens with us playing Moscow on weds.

Not sure why they would rest players as they've had a week since the last game and don't play til another 8 days after this cup game which is vs the rags.

If we can beat Boro with key players rested then I reckon Pep will go full strength vs Monaco and the dippers.
It's a big if considering the performances at Huddersfield and at home to Stoke.

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