It's a dilemma, isn't it.

On the one hand, it's the Cup...OUR cup and I'd like us to put the strongest team possible out to defend it.

But...we're playing differently these days as Eddie tries to juggle our workload (and it's worked-2 wins and a draw after our Champions League games, isn't it?) so that thinking will affect his starting 11 more than it might have done last season, possibly?

I wouldn't mind us riding the crest of the Osula wave to give big Nic a wee break. Ditto Tonali, much as I agree, he should start ideally.

Can't Krafu play LB? Tino and Hall can't come back soon enough, man.
