Utterly ridiculous deliberately playing a weaker team, when we have a world class international keeper on the bench. It's bordering on professional negligence. There is zero room for sentiment in professional sport.
But it is what it is. Pellergrini has put his neck on the line and will rightly face some serious criticism and questions if Willy costs us a trophy.
Having said that, the rest is a strong team so maybe we can do enough and bring a trophy home. Come on Blues!
