Play the Academy players, don’t think we need the Carabao Cup adding to injuries, let Spuds think they can win something for once

Pep's more or less said in post-match that that's what he's going to do, so to hell with it, never like losing to this lot, but let them have their moment of giddiness.

Not heard his post match but glad to read that mate.

Need to do whatever is best for the players and our priorities. Number one has to be win the title, obviously. To achieve that we can’t afford any more injuries, to anyone.

This is a tough game even with everyone fit, so better to bin it off and just play the reserves and kids.

Based on our current injury list I'd wrap today's starting line-up in cotton wool.

I know people are spending good money on the trip and that's gonna hurt - but Pep did give us all the heads up that he's going to field a weakened XI.

Sooner we're out of this, given the stupid extra Chumps games, the better (unless our kids can beat spuds)

Bournemouth on Saturday at three but then Lisbon on Tuesday. Spurs have the extra day before playing Villa, so they can go stronger. Bournemouth is the key game so bleed the youngsters and take no risks.
