We have got four days off before the Brighton match so I think we can field the strongest possible team here and get them beaten. We need to win this.
If we win the double two years on the trot coupled with a fourth title on the bounce, it will be a unique, phenomenal achievement.

The strongest side possible will not be anywhere near the starting 11 on Wednesday. Hopefully Rico and Oscar will grab a great opportunity to shine at Wembley.

Nice break after this until Brighton and then 2 free midweeks so if we can get past tomorrow then the double is on and a back to back double 1st along with a 4 in a row 1st would be unbelievable.
Silva, Foden and Rodri all played right through extra time the other night so i reckon at least 2 of them won't start but Wembley will suit Doku, and i can see him playing right with either Grealish or Bobb left. Stones, Ake and Rico all to start. Didn't fancy it driving home the other night now i can't wait.

Agreed Wembley’s wide spaces will suit Doku.

And Ake if he’s fit. Hopefully Stones too.

The Etihad is a bigger pitch.
Although it is a large pitch, Wembley doesn’t have the honour of being the largest in England. The biggest pitch in England can be found in Manchester, at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City’s pitch measures in at 116 x 77 yards, which is a shade larger than Wembley.
According to the Wembley Stadium website, one person cutting the grass walks 12 miles. It’s certainly a large pitch at Wembley and defending teams have to do a lot of running.
Such a large pitch allows teams that control possession more chances to find space against tightly-packed defences. The large pitch works both ways, though, and it gives counter-attacking teams plenty of space to run into when they break.

Didn't realise that. Appearances can be deceptive.
Keep Doku on the bench and play Bobb.

Play both. Pep says Haaland ‘felt something’ and had to come off. De Bruyne felt his hamstring a bit but ‘that is normal’ after a long match. I doubt either will start.

An opportunity for Phil. Didn’t have his best game on Wednesday. Moved more central second half but didn’t find much space. He’ll surely play central tomorrow if Grealish and Doku play.

I would rest rodri.
We basically have 6 finals after this and he's fucked. He's going to have to play all 6

No way, we wont win without him, id rather rest him in the final against Coventry. He has to play the next 7 games.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rodri gets injured in this game and our season is over.

Yes agreed. I think he may start Kova and the tart that is Nunes keep Rodri in reserve. Unfortunately, that just means we will have to bring Rodderrs on at 60 minutes

This is the way it’ll go, we’ll dominate possession create and miss three or four golden opportunities, they will score on their first break. We will then do the same all over again and they’ll score again. We will get one back late on but that will be it. The ref will give us all the calls in the first 20 mins…..and then nothing. I really hope I’m totally wrong, but I think we’re out of gas.
