Great opportunity to play Rodon in a class defence with Romero and Dier, instead of playing with a second string. Would also keep Sess and Doc in to try and build momentum and confidence. Get Bergwijn in there to keep him happy with minutes and give Son or Kulu a rest.
Ah, that's a shame, had saved you one of my homemade blueberry muffins, will just have to eat it myself.
Any chance you could moderate them too?
This fan base or at least this forum never learns. Seem to think we can put out a random 11 and walk it.
Have any of you watched us play the likes of Mura and Pacos this season?
Why on earth would you rest players, especially as there isn’t another game for a week?
Boro are no mugs and won at old Trafford in the last round.
Think this will be a tricky fixture

Exactly, needs to be a strong lineup.
Luton are 6th! That's mental. They were 2nd division 3 years ago. Their ground is not fit for the PL. Away fans have to enter by going through a house. It is very old-school.
Oooooh it’s on BBC , tres bon

Update?
Yep - I think we need to show them the respect they deserve and go strong.
Never seen a keeper subbed on mid penalty shootout. It would certainly be bold move.
Son has looked like he needs a rest for ages.
Kulu wasn't a regular at Juve, was he? Probably wants/needs minutes.
Nor have I. It must have been done though, mustn't it? Old Hugo's bones aren't as young as they used to be, so it could happen.
:llorisunsure:
Sonny didn't look like he needed a rest in the 85th minute last Saturday, did he?
Sonny looks a lot more lively since coming back from his injury. I'd start him and sub off if/when the game is won.
Think he's still running his heart out and I wouldn't expect any less from him, the guys the most committed player on the pitch most weeks.
I do think he's looked less sharp though. He's been in good positions and then wasted it with rubbish shots a few too many times in recent weeks. Damaging ones against Wolves and Burnley jump out at me.
Would be nice to give Son and/or Kane a break in this game as they both have already played too much this season and both have shown in the past that they are susceptible to injuries especially when overplayed but of course we have no replacement for either guy so they likely both have to play or come on to try and save us if they don't start.
Should be an easy but I expect as usual we make it much tougher than it should be.
2-1 win with a late goal from Kane to save us.
