RowlattsFox Posted 8 January 2021 Share Posted 8 January 2021 I don't know if I'm just being old fashioned but I want to finish top 6 and win a cup It's ok for a club like ours in its current state to have ambitions of top 6 finishes consistently but I feel we're in danger of it becoming an expectation, and it's too soon for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drofmor55 Posted 8 January 2021 Share Posted 8 January 2021 Qualifying for the Champions league and winning the FA cup are not mutually exclusive !...Arsenal qualified for the Champions league every season 1998-2017 ,during which time they won the FA cup 7 times. Arsene Wenger had limited transfer funds due to the costs of building a new stadium ,so their squads were not deep quality wise but they had a good scouting system in Europe that provided them with a core first team of Henry,Annelka,Bergkamp,Pires,Petit alongside Seaman,Adams,Wright 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 8 January 2021 Share Posted 8 January 2021 I prefer the Champions League Hymn to 'Abide with me'. We are not currently strong enough to fight on three fronts. We are carrying more dead-wood than a Portland Lumber truck. This summer is going to breath of fresh air to the revamp of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a toss about the FA cup, to me it's all about the Premier League or nothing. If I were a player I wouldn't care less if I wasn't playing. I can't understand why you guys get so hyper about this p***s*** trophy and go all ga ga. But if Leicester win it, it be good for the club where LCFC will get abit more respect within the footballing establishment I suppose. Thats Why you are in America..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they will be the UK broadcasts, re-transmitted -- hopefully no delay. I’m tempted to look at ten minutes of Cheltenham/Mansfield Town Sunday just to see what “FA Player” coverage looks like. One camera, one announcer? It's on the iplayer on the big red button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 8 January 2021 Share Posted 8 January 2021 Ward Amartey Morgan Cags Tim Mendy Praet Thomas Perez Iheanacho Barnes Would be the team I’d choose. Potential banana skin. Make changes but let’s not get booted out the cup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well not play Vardy Tielemans Ndidi next week in the prem then just in case. In fact, let’s do what Villa did and just play our 23’s!

Ward Castagne Evans Soyuncu Fuchs Mendy Under Praet Perez Albrighton Iheanacho I don’t think it will be far off this, but have an incline that BR might pick “rhythm player” Tielemans and Barnes might play if Under isn’t fit. So maybe Tilly for Albrighton and Barnes for Under. But I’m only guessing ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, wanting to win a cup. That’s very niche of you fairplay buddy! The rest of us were all hoping to finish 12th and get knocked out of the FA cup tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridFox Posted 9 January 2021 Share Posted 9 January 2021 I don't mind playing weakened sides and certainly think we should rest players. But please don't shoehorn squad players out of position! (Yes that includes 3 at the back with Fuchs and Albrighton!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
