Is Leno clearly better than Cech? Cech has rarely let us down, his weaknesses are his ability to play with the ball at feet and save penalties, but the his core skillset is still there. I wouldn’t be worried to see him in the final

If Mr.Cech will be good enough to get us to the final, Mr.Cech gets to play in the final.

Leno but Cech will play. I don't get the logic in playing a first team but a no.2 keeper. Leno should play every game and the no.2 can get the Carabao Cup at most.

Leno for me given what is at stake , we must play our strongest possible team. Shot stopping they very similar with not much diff but for me Leno’s distribution is better than Cech’s and Leno suits the modern day playing style better because of this

Totally agree... Nearly wrote an article on this the other day but didn't bother in the end... Obviously there is an agreement with Cech that he will play in the Europa providing he is fit and that was made early on in the season but what a way to finish his career if he gets beaten in the final by his old club (providing we both get there that is).

I'm not a fan of these agreements and I don't think they should extend past the group stages if they are to be made at all. Yes in many ways Cech deserves to play, he has gotten us there but Leno is clearly the better keeper now and I believe he would give us the best chance of winning the final. Having said this Cech is still a decent keeper, just not on Leno's level anymore due to age.

Cech will play but I would start Leno...IF.... we get to the final. That's not guaranteed by any means.There should be no room for sentiment. If it goes to pens in the final and Cech is in goal we will lose. Cech is better on crosses but Leno is the better shot stopper and better distributor of the ball.
