Man Utd on Weds

[Zippity]

I agree, Hughie, he looks like he could do with a rest. The problem is, Trippier is such a leader, he's one of those players who helps to make us greater than the sum of its parts. I certainly think Lascelles is a better player when Tripps is keeping him right.

[HughieG]

Absolutely and I'm sure that Trippier will always insist on playing when fit, so he's obviously hard to drop.

Is it wrong that I have no hope for this game..

I think Howe plays a weakened side like against City and focuses on Arsenal

We'll, to be fair, we did beat City with a weakened team and they're far better than Man U.

There's definitely hope.

Aye but Man City team was weakened too Zip..

I'll reserve judgement until I see the line up

Nar, reserve judgement until you see the result.

I never feel confident beating these, they seem to always pull it out against us,grrrrrrr maybe that’s about to change?

Gotta rest some players tonight for me. I’d love to win this cup, but it’s last on the list of priorities.

I agree. Against City we started a weakened team and brought some big guns on to win it second half.

Based on the Wolves game, at the very least Trippier should be rested, but I trust Eddie knows more about the fitness of the players than we do. Had it been Bruce.........

Longstaff to score a screamer tonight.
