Just win it.

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

Always said I’d rather win the league cup than the European Cup

[PaulMcC186]

We need Arnold and Robertson to play

Be absolutely amazed if Trent is anywhere near this. Think he properly hurt himself. Luckily the international break is coming and Bradley will be back.

Trent will be out, Quansah right back, and probably Nunez for Jota the other change.

No one outside the starting eleven, except Quansah, put their hand up tonight.

Again, only decision is who plays as our No9.

As poor as his short appearance was tonight I think jones might start this.

Dunno, can’t see Slot changing his first choice midfield.

Gravenberch was really bad too. 

[growler]

May need Q at center back. Bradley at right. Jota should be nowhere near this.

Bradley’s already been withdrawn from the Northern Ireland squad. He'll be nowhere near playing in this

Big job in the summer to find some Slot-approved midfielders who will allow us to rest Grav, Mac and Dom. 

This is not sustainable.

We sold them all.

Last night went about as perfectly for them as possible. A few of ours will definitely be knackered. Extra time would be a worry.

Rest up lads and smash them all over the place.

[Case]

The right side of the pitch will look like the Somme in 1917. Trent, Bradley, Hall and Gordon all out. 
 

Play Poulsen.

4 days rest should be fine physically

They played Monday night. Not that much difference

Not 120 mins against one of the best sides in Europe though.

[Conrad]

Difficult one. Gakpo is obviously nowhere near fit. Trent almost certainly out.

I think you go with the same starting XI as last night, bar Quansah for Trent sadly

 

[PaulMcC186]

I'd start Jones, and Gakpo if he's fit enough. Probably Nunez too. 

[MarkD]

Im going out on a limb here but (and hear me out): might Chiesa get on at any time given that Cody was as mobile as a lamp post last night?

Jones instead of who though? Jota maybe? I dont think you can drop Gravenberch, although he looks knackered.

They can go all out in this one - big rest coming up afterwards
