I wonder if we will see something funky in the lineup v Luton. Jota and jones out no doubt, suspect Mo or Darwin won’t be risked from the start come what may, so maybe macca as a false 9, Elliot in mos position, Gordon or Koumas given a chance …. Or even Bradley in an advanced position with Jo at RB
We've got a cup final at the weekend and we've got Alisson, Matip, Trent, Thiago, Bajcetic, Szoboszlai, Jones and Diogo all out right now and allegedly Mo and Darwin maybe struggling.
I'd rather lose to Luton and win the cup than beat Luton and then lose at the weekend. Not that they're the only choices, but I'd be thinking something like Kelleher, Bradley, Quansah, VVD, Robbo, Macallister, Clark, Gravenberch, Elliott, Gakpo, Diaz. Bench of Adrian, Gomez, Tsimikas, Endo, McConnell, Gordon, Nunez, Salah and maybe someone like Nyoni or Danns. With the aim of getting 2/3 up so we can bring a few off too, but big guns if we do need to chase the game late on.
It looks like the U21s and the U18s dont have any games for a few weeks now so hopefully we can get some of those kids training with the first team to potentially use in the FA Cup too.
