    ----------------------Pope------------------
    Tripps-----Burn----Krafth----Targett
    ----Tonali-----Miley----Longstaff---
    -----Murphy----Wilson----Osula---

    Rest plenty for the final, and give those on the periphery a chance to stake their claim

    No, that's why I said rest plenty, not all of them. Also Burn and Murphy aren't on the periphery.

    Need at least one of the starting 3 in their for experience, Bruno and Joe should be rested, they need the rest more.

    I would not put Tonali, Livramento, Joelinton on the pitch if at all possible. Try and get Wilson crocked for the final too, please.

    I'm going to be in the minority here but I say go for our best possible line up.

    I think we are being a bit naive here. We need to win this game just as much as the final. And we have a much better chance at winning this game than the final.

    I say play a strong team.

    I love how you’ve tried to put out a really weakened side yet it still features 8 who’ll start in the final.

    If we are serious about top 6 or 5 we need to beat West Ham.

    We won’t beat Liverpool and we can’t afford any more slip ups.

    The suspensions and injuries are also going to take its toll.

    If we finish top 7 it will be a good season.

    If we’re serious about any of this, then from next season we need utter ****ing **** like Wilson, Trippier, Longstaff, Targett and more long gone from this club. I don’t know whether Howe should be praised for extracting results from this shower, or berated for allowing them to pretend to be footballers for so long!!

    I think Howe gets the credit because he’s done a very good job till now with what he has got.

    Having said that there has been some questionable signings and the board have maybe made some mistakes.

    The emotions are now out of the equation for me now and I feel Howe deserves the benefit of the doubt. Let’s see how the end of the season goes.

    He had injuries as reasons last season.

    He can’t have that excuse this season because we ain’t been in Europe.
