I just really really want us to win the FA Cup - selfish, I know, but it's been a dream for years (it was massive in my younger days - sadly not so much now). I know and I get it but this season is not the year buddy.
RowlattsFox Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 We need to take advantage of the cups this year, next year we will likely have the champions league to worry about so the domestic cups take a back seat. Go for the cups this year when we're in a great league position. Of course, I don't want any of our best players to get injured and miss Villa so I would make changes to keep certain players fresh but it should be a mixture of first teamers and fringe players, as it has been in every cup game so far. Injuries can happen anytime, Ndidi got injured in training. It just happens and there is always a risk.
Gerard Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 We shouldn't be blooding U23's just to fill out the team but I'm certainly in the camp of playing the squad players. Playing our squad team give the first XI a chance to rest up and concentrate on getting us to a cup final on Tuesday and then facing Chelsea on the Saturday. It's not like we're giving up on the FA Cup as the team we put out are more than capable of not getting beat away at good Championship side. Iheanacho Albrighton Praet Choudhury Gray Mendy (if fit) Fuchs Benkovic Morgan Justin Ward
filbertway Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Ward Justin Soybean Evans Chillwell Hamza Gray Praet Tielemans Barnes Kelechi Maddison and perez on for Tielemans and Barnes around the 60 mark. These have a very good front 3, so i'd like to see a strong defence. Morgan and Fuchs would get battered by these on the counter
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 This season is the best chance in the CLUB'S RECENT HISTORY to win the FA Cup. - We have a banging squad, possibly the best ever - We have a manager who values the cups and has experience winning them - We have no European football to clog our fixture list - League status is safe, and top 4 is all but safe barring a total collapse in form - Next season we'll have at least 6 European games to fit in, so as stated above those will take precedent - The traditional "big 6" are terrible other than 2 of them No more "the league takes precedent". No more "we'll have a better chance next year". Let's do it NOW.

Lambert09 Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Huge banana skin if they play their strongest 11. I think theyd give most lower premier league sides a good game, so if we play a full reserve team we could be in danger. I actually think this is a hugely important game for us. If we end up knocked out of 2 cups in 4 days it could completely derail us. Going into Tuesday knowing we are still in the hat might actually take a bit of pressure off of the boys.
Wrighty22 Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 See no reason why we shouldn't start Soyuncu and Evans in defence.
ealingfox Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 As long as Man City are in either the League Cup or the FA Cup no other team has a good chance of winning it, at any point.

David Hankey Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Seems they have a mean defence with 21 goal conceded in 28 games. Should be a cracking cup tie.
NewEnglandFox Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Very excited. Let's Go. Would like to see Barnes up top again. 2 cup games before the next league game. Would love wins in both.

VLC86 Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 The time to bring a couple of youth players in, if he thought that was the best way, was Wigan at home. I’d be shocked if we saw any new youth lads in this.
Raj Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 We are not at the level where we can dismiss a competition that we've never win. Some of us WANT to see us win the FA Cup before we die!!!! It'll be hard enough to beat Brentford with s full squad. Let's not add any youth players who could lose confidence if we lose. This could be detrimental to the whole club losing this tie...just remember Wycombe and that guy bought via Teletext!!!!!!
reynard Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Going to be a very tough match and a very tough team to call for Rodgers. Can't imagine either Vardy or Mendy will be fit. Don't think Ndidi will be risked. We need Maddison firing on all cyclinders against Villa so he will probably be rested. Ward will surely play in goal and Justin at right back. Fuchs probably left back. Not sure about the two CBs. Albrighton and Gray will probably get a run out. As to the others who knows. It would be good to advance but not at the expense of injuries or tiredness affecting our chances on Tuesday night which will be a very tough match at Villa.
Manwell Pablo Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Can see us putting out a weak team and struggling to be honest.
l444ry Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 No chance he'll start U23 players. Dopy suggestion given Brendan's approach to each game. We'll be going there to win.
Farrington fox Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 These Brentford boyz will put up one hell of a fight. If we want to progress in this cup we need to take em seriously.
