It's a bigger game for them than us, their best chance of a trophy (if they scrape past us).

But this is a Derby and as such, goes up in priority. I expect to see a very strong side from both teams. It will mean more to Mourinho than Pep i feel as he is under a fair bit of pressure and a further defeat will see more knives sharpened
Personally I don't give a damn what the media think, but Pepe shouldn't make
the same mistake as MP in sending out a team packed full of youngsters.VK is a prime candidate to start and I'd also play other senior players needing match practice or a return to form.
Why was it a mistake to play the youngsters?
Pellers prioritised the champions league (3 days later) and the league cup final (7 days later) instead of the FA Cup QF and won both matches - that's not a mistake in my book.
He decided not to be held to ransom by the BBC for playing the FA Cup QF game on the Sunday night and in any case in the defeat against Chelsea it was the senior players that let the team down - the youngsters acquitted themselves well.

But that wasn't seen in the exposure, it was all about us disrespecting the cup that nobody ever gave a fuck about. Ie, Arsenal.

Gundogan is tweeting he wants to start ? maybe he wants to prove something and is right up for it ? Aguero and Kelechi need game time and so does Sane . Navas also due a run out and Nolito , at the back Kompany , Otter and Clichy to start .......throw a couple of young uns in there and team sort of picks itself ? Very decent team there and always always want to beat the scum whatever the competition is !
Due a run out? Run out the gate.

If anything to go by, at least the crowd won't be leaving early.
How long did it take at weekend, we looked half empty with 5 to go.

Might i suggest that pep has deliberately pulled the reigns in on the team these last few weeks, just so he can give Maureen another good tonking ?

I want to beat these fuckers and be at Wembley whenever the final is played.
As much as I've criticised Bravo I want him to start (Willy will have the CL game soon anyway). Silva/Sterling to rest maybe? I'd like to test Stones and see Vinnie play with Otter but if Vinnie can't play then no changes there I guess...
Bravo
Maffeo/Zabs - Stones - Otter - Cliche
Navas - Gundogan - A.Garcia
Sane - Nacho - Nolito
?

I hope we play a strong team and win, this is not a game for more messing about.

Zaba and Kevin out. Dont believe Sagna was mentioned. wonder if thats because its a given at this point that he's injured or because he's no longer injured. im curious to see what happens at RB (and the rest of defense)
Leroy, Kelechi, Navas, and Noltio seem obvious starters to me. prob Garcia too.

If the four of them do start which one of the 3 wide players doesn't play wide?

It's fourth on my list but a game v the rags is a game v the rags. One we don't want to lose and would like to win handsomely. If that means having a different selection because of the rags to a different team then so be it.
