So disjointed.

I would play the same XI as the cup final and hopefully we can get a win to build our confidence ahead of the big game.

I was thinking that the team that will start in the final would start this one? Playing the same team consistently has its benefits. I'll trust Howe either way. Really hoping that Botman and Hall are back.

Have seen this pic a couple of times on social media today.

Howe mentioned swelling in Hall's ankle at the post-match interview.

Joelinton gives the ball away way too often.

No cups, no Europe next season. Howe gets sacked in the summer and takes a year off before taking the England job after the 2026 World Cup.

That's how I'm feeling also.

I agree. I hope Barnes has a blinder in the final...

He was quite instrumental in the semi-final.

How could he lose his mind like that...

How can someone miss a header like that?

I have lost count of the number of times Schar has given the ball away today. Easy decision for me to drop him (and not Burn) for Botman for the final.

Yeah, maybe a right-footed LB wouldn't be too bad against Salah. Feeling anxious to get updates about Hall.

No Hall would be a giant miss against Salah.

Botman needs to play for sure. Can't decide whether he should replace Schar or Burn. Probably Schar based on current form, but then we would have two LCBs.

I hope we don't get slight injuries like these for the cup final...

I wonder why Sanusi isn't even on the bench.

I'd take Bruno off now so that he doesn't get sent off and banned for the final.

Relieved.

I wouldn't mind attacking the Gallowgate end in the first half: get at least one goal and then sit back for the rest of the game with Gordon + Isak on the counter attack. Hoping that both us and Spurs make it to the final!

Probably not a good idea to sell a player in January who has played 10+ games for us already. Not sure if we have enough time to use the funds wisely. I do have a counter example to your first paragraph though: the time Rangers got Boumsong for free and sold him to us for £8M six months later

Been massive in the last two games.

I wouldn't play them in the second leg, same for Joelinton.

Tino didn't need that. Another cup tie risk.
