I'd rather play second legs away than have Onana out for the rest of the season. Get him rested. Don't even let him train, walk under any ladders or open any threads that were started by Toronto Villa.

The bubble wrap and cotton wool doesn’t seem to work for us. I’d play our strongest side as the more we try to prevent injuries our players get injured nevertheless. Martinez will probably injure himself sleeping on the wrong side.

We would be genuinely mental to risk Onana in this. I'd be reluctant to use Bogarde, either.

Maatsen has played in midfield for the Dutch U21s.

I'd be tempted to try him and Bogarde.

I think he played in midfield when he was on loan at Burnley as well.

You just know if we did that some other poor sod would get crocked after 5 minutes and he’d have to come on anyway.

I hope George Hemmings has a few box sets lined up to keep himself occupied, just in case.

Absolutely. Especially the TV element.
