I agree he should be rested but the problem is who else plays up front in his place. Is there anybody?

I'll play, i love the LC but bin it off this season, far too many games.

The "7 kids" in question:
Iñaki Peña (25) - 100 career appearances
Pau Cubarsí (17) - 37 Barcelona appearances, 4 Spain caps
Alejandro Baldé (21) - 91 Barcelona appearances, 7 Spain caps
Marc Casadó (21) - 83 career appearances
Pedri (21) - 156 Barcelona appearances, 28 Spain caps
Fermín Lopes (21) - 88 career appearances, 2 Spain caps
Lamine Yamal (17) - 65 Barcelona appearances, 17 Spain caps

Hardly the same as throwing in a bunch of debutants from the EDS, is it?

It’s not the same but I’d still do it.

It's be top spursy to lose to our kids.

Almost as Spursy as to lose an FA Cup tie at home when leading 3-0 at half time and facing ten men?

This'll be Tottinghams only chance for a trophy so expect them to field a strong side. Would love it if our kids can turn them over.

I don’t see him picking too many EDS players as I don’t think he rates many of them. He could have put a few on the bench last week in the Champions League but instead went with just 7 subs (including 2 keepers)

Get it won and keep up the trophy runs.

We can do it.

But there was a UEFA youth league game on the same day. If he wasn’t planning to give them minutes it’s better for them to play the youth game. This game there are minutes to be had for youth players.

Play the 'shadows' and youth players + a couple of seniors who need fitness minutes.

Leave the big dogs at home.

A good performance, no injuries, no cards, a respectable defeat and prepare for BMouth & Shporting.

With respect to everyone, bigger fish to fry !!

There were a load of players who weren’t even in the Youth League squad as they were too old for it (you’re only allowed 3 19 year olds in the squad)

Carson in goal with the EDS

And piss myself laughing if they go through on penalties.
