Mods, is it possible to ‘like’, lots, the second paragraph of a post, while running away as fast as possible from the sheer silliness of the first?!? 1

To win the league and an FA cup in the same decade would be amazing. 3

Angus Scott Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 All this talk about playing a weak side does my head in. There is no game this midweek or the midweek after, so we should play as strong a team as possible. We play our players vast sums of money to actually play football, not sit on their asses at home watching soccer saturday. What is the point of football if you don't try & win things & we have a very good chance of winning the FA Cup, whereas we have little chance of winning the Prem & even qualifying for Europe will be very difficult. We cannot afford to take Stoke lightly & we do not want another Newport so I do not want to see Choudhury or Nacho but would loe to see Ricky & Cags 2
Gazza M Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 No need to rest players for this. If they can't play once a week there is something wrong. Maybe a start for Soyuncu to get 60-70 minutes. 1
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 I can remember the 1969 final and if we get a chance to win it, which we are capable of I'm sure, then let's play a side decent enough to win and get as far as we can in each round. 1
Gamble92 Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 I went uni there and have a lot of friends from there. We are infinitely better and I should have a great weekend. 0-1 loss garunteed then.

Bats8711 Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 Yes - there is a week before and after this game. But then we play Chelsea 3 days after Southampton. If we want certain first teamers to play both games (*cough* VARDY *cough*) then they need to be rested for this one. Vardy, Tielemans, Evans, JJ are all obvious rests (wouldn't even have them in the squad). Also call me crazy but with our recent record of bringing injured players back I don't want Ricardo anywhere near this game.
Popular Post The whole world smiles Posted 3 January 2021 Popular Post Posted 3 January 2021 There's a break between Stoke and Southampton. However.... There is no break between the 4th round (if we qualify) and Everton away or the 5th round or the sparta prauge games, so we need our squad players to be sharp and feeling engaged. 6
StanSP Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 Kasper Castagne - Amartey - Soyuncu - Fuchs Mendy Under - Praet - Maddison Perez - Iheanacho No need to risk too many senior regulars. Would be good to get Soyuncu more minutes and to be honest I've only picked Amartey there as it means Fofana and Evans can rest, but really it could be anyone with Soyuncu as long as they or he don't get injured. Similar for Castagne - was today vs Newcastle his first full 90 since returning from injury? The midfield and attack can be quite flexible. Could easily be a 4-1-3-2 or 4-2-3-1 with Perez dropping deeper just behind Kelechi and Praet dropping in the 'Youri' role next to Mendy. No need to play Ndidi, Vardy, Youri, Justin. Got a feeling Albrighton could play. Under has to play surely. Needs a full 90.
Webbo Posted 3 January 2021 Posted 3 January 2021 I wonder if we'll want to put Slimani and Gray in the shop window.

They mentioned this on radio leicester. I didn't get the logic, Surely clubs know what they are signing with them two, must be loads of footage and scouting data available - they have played in over 175 Premier league matches between them. I could understand if it was a player like Tavares who's mostly played reserve football but these are established and famous professionals no club is gonna let a performance against Stoke in the cup influence their decision one way or the other are they? 1
Aus Fox Posted 4 January 2021 Posted 4 January 2021 Get some game time into some fringe players, make sure everyone is as close to match fit as possible if required to be called upon. I would expect with Stoke chasing a playoff spot, they will rotate. I would give the players who have come back from injury and those over 30 a rest. Ward JJ Soyuncu Amartey Thomas Mendy Praet Under Perez Barnes Iheanacho Bench: Fuchs, Choudhury (If still here), Morgan, Stolarczyk, Ricardo (give him 20 mins if fit enough), Leshabela, Tavares Should be enough to get us in the bag for round 4
HybridFox Posted 4 January 2021 Posted 4 January 2021 Saw this thread and thought we'd gone back in time Completely forgot about the cup!
