Is ok to play or cuptied?

Hes cup-tied, but I would still play him.

Stupid rule.

I will worry if Holgate plays at right back against Son.

I worry more with Seamus these days though.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Pickford
Godfrey Mina Keane Digne
Gomes Doucoure Davies
Iwobi DCL King

Richarlison is devoid of all confidence so left him out

And put Iwobi in, he inspires confidence in erm, not sure!!

Big week in our season I feel.

Win both games and confidence high going into city/liverpool ...quarter finals of the cup and right in the mix still for top 6/4...lose v spurs and put in a newcastle performance v Fulham’s and it’s grim...

Hope we go at Spurs and not play like we did v Leicester.

Play James off the bench for this one

Play James off the bench for this one

He picked up a tight calf mate.

Wouldnt risk him 3 big league games coming up thick and fast.

I've said it before but the cup is a distraction this season.

Focus on the league wont have a better chance of top 4/6.

Coleman would get rinsed against Spurs.

How did the opening game of season go? Was Holgate good yesterday

 

[GwladysBlue]

Coleman has deteriorated massively.

8:15pm, weird kick off time.

I'm not sure what to make of either side at the moment.

They have good attacking player's but tend to be too defensive minded.

A win would be huge psychologically for us, we've beaten good sides this season even with iffy performances.

I just want to be in the next round of the cup. I want us to win the entire tournament come the end of the season

But the fa cup is a trophy and europa league 4th is ucl 5th is uel and 6th is europa conference league (7th of any of the top 5 win the fa cup). So the cup looks an easier option than 5th imo and with a trophy.

I want to put on record that the thread title originally said 9.15 and I am not, contrary to how it appears, losing it.

Probably.

You clearly meant Central European Time Chris.

Personally hope we get europa conference - we would easily be one of the better sides in it and could win the thing and get straight into the EL the following season with a trophy under our belt.

Would go down in history as the first ever winners of it as well.

Would probably get bantered for being the first winners of a ‘dead cup’! lol

Spurs are a horrible match up for us. Mourinho ultra defensive and with Kane and Son both back dangerous on the break. May just go to extra time this and the dreaded shoot out
