Best team for Sunday, lets get the silver.
Then for PSG the Manchester bus
Eddie, Walker, Ruben, Eric, Ake, Garcia, Cancelo ,Dino, Rodders and Foden and Sterling to hit the French bastards on the break.
Enough players there to be able to pick up a card or two ;-)
 
Think some people exaggerate our chances to win tomorrow if Pep selects our best team and underestimate our chances to win if he plays 7-8 squad players.

Realistically, even if Pep started our very best team, a win would be far from guaranteed. Our chances would be about, say, 70-80 % (that take might be a bit optimistic though). The (much) better team does not always win, especially in cup games.

At the same time, if we fielded tomorrow a team like the one vs Chelsea, we would have (at least) 40-50 % chance to win, as Spurs are far from being as good at defending as Chelsea.

So, it's not like we are guaranteed to win if our strongest team play and guaranteed to lose if many squad players start.

Imagine that Pep starts our strongest team, but shit happens (like Stones' red card the other day) and we lose or the game goes to extra time. It would be a fuck-up. PSG may be stronger than against Bayern, since Verratti and Marquinos are back, and also fresher, IF most or half of our starters in Paris play 90/120 minutes tomorrow.
