Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 We need to move on from our Christmas hiccups and start the new year with a refreshing win. Would like to see a good bit of rotation but a win would be nicer given our pathetic record in this competition recently. I'd go: Emi Konsa Diego Carlos Lenglet/Pau Moreno Kamara Iroegbunham Zaniolo Diaby Ramsey Duran A strong bench then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_Zooms Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Marschall - Chambers, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno - Kamara, Dendoncker - Ramsey, Zaniolo, O'Reilly - Duran. 15 days off league football now. Send the key players on warm weather holidays until January 8th, as much as we would love to win the FA Cup again at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 any idea where Olsen is!??! Also, a pity we cant avoid risking our only left back in Moreno tbh. anyways. Marschall Cash - Chambers or Carlos - Lenglet - Moreno Zaniolo - Dendoncker - Iroegbunam - Ramsey O'Reilly - Duran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 We have 7 days before this one and 8 days after. We should be going full strength and trying to get through to the next round. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Perhaps we should ditch the fa cup this year. Our players are knackered and need a proper rest. The next 10 days would be ideal. We can then focus on our league position and enjoy a real go in Europe for the rest of the season. We really don’t need any more matches this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're professional athletes, we've got over 5,000 supporters paying hard-earned money to make the long trip to support the team and we're trying to instil an elite winning mentality across the club. I'm so glad the players and Unai don't share this view. We haven't won a trophy since 1996. Edited December 30, 2023 by wedge 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put out a team that allows the knackered players to rest and don’t go into a massive meltdown on here if we don’t win. Thanks for the info about our last trophy win didn’t know that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely responding to your comment and asking how a team 'ditches' a competition as you suggested we do. Thanks for elaborating and also for the petty sarcasm.

Villatillidie95 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Looking forward to the game as just managed to grab a ticket, think we will play a lot of the second string but a good chance to get a proper look at them, would like to see o'reilly and iroegbunam play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_Zooms Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Unai has now said that all of the players have the next 3 days off. All round to McGinn's for Hogmanay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post foreveryoung Posted December 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2023 Am I the only one not to bothered by this. I think we have enough to do with the European conference and league position to concetrate on. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Yeah one of the very few years I'd be fine bowing out of the FA Cup early doors. But you just know our route would be very winnable the year we don't care. Emi Cash Carlos Lenglet Moreno Kamara Iroegbunam Zaniolo.

villa89 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Have to take a chance and get to rest some players. Our focus is the conference league and CL spots this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
