A genius but sticking Ake and Stones at CB today felt like some sort of sympathy selection for their lack of recent game time. Both of them have looked completely unfit for weeks/months and I found it baffling that you would choose to start them with a cup on the line, against a team that are going to stick XI behind the ball and try to break quickly. I get that we rotate more than most but it’s a final, against our biggest rivals. What other team/manager would choose to play a weakened back four in a final? Blows my mind.
