Football's fucked if teams start playing weakened teams in cup finals.

The likes of Deli Ali, Kane and Lamela especially have form for leaving their foot in. I have a concern that Spurs will be dirty ba***rds. Hopefully we can keep possession of the ball and take our chances.
I was there in 1981 and want to taste sweet revenge!

Me too - we owe Spurs quite a few good hidings in my opinion, but, any win will do.

If you have a tough season and you have 3 games ahead, would a player's performance level dip in a 3rd game?

Too much football? Yes.

Go for it today and play a flat back 8 in Paris.

Play our strongest possible side. Get it won as early as possible. Then after 60 mins regardless of the score, start to make as many subs as needed. Those that are playing on Wednesday cannot be allowed to play for 120 mins.

You don't want to win then?

Going weak increases the chance of ET, Pens, late desperate substitutions, all things we can do without today. And could still end up in a loss.

A win today with a strong team can not in any way be a negative as far as PSG game is concerned.

Of course I want them to win but I just can't see Pep fielding his strongest line up that's all. Hope I'm wrong!

Its wrong for the fans going if they get there today and have to watch Torres, Sterling and Mendy.

If they start we will get smashed.

And semi's to a large degree.
