People calling to rest players...ridiculous. We are 4 games away from winning a trophy, of which this game is more than winnable. Let's give it 100% in the cup competitions because who knows when we get more chances.

I know we’ve never won the FA cup but for a top half club with European ambitions its a virtual irrelevance. 
Play most of the 2nd team and stay fresh for a demoralised LFC in the hope of picking up something.

We'd play a reserve/2nd string and lose. Then get rolled over by Liverpool with a well rested first team. So I would rather play every game full strength with one or two changes.

Rest players and we still have to beat Liverpool which is a very big ask, I say play who’s available and then the same against pool, we should cope, not like it’s a unique situation and the cup should be a priority along with the league and UEFA, play each game like it’s a cup final, the players will cope.

People wanting a strong side for this and Liverpool need to realise with the schedule we’ve already had lately and what’s to follow it’s not possible.  The amount of injuries clubs are picking up this season has increased because of the more hectic schedules and we need to accept we can’t be playing anything like our strongest side twice a week over a sustained period.  Initially I thought Brighton was a great draw but in actual fact it’s probably as bad as it gets in that they are one of only a few sides with nothing else to play for and will see the cup as a chance to do well in something.

You can’t keep playing every game full strength with the schedule we have. I don’t think we should play a reserve team but Brendan will use this game to change it up a bit, there’s going to be 5-6 changes.

unfortunately at this point in the season the FA cup will be bottom of the list of priorities.

It’s not just about the two results in those games. It’s keeping the strain on players bodies at a rate where we don’t pick up injuries through over playing. Even if we lose both games it doesn’t make it the wrong decision long term.

Mental that people don't realise this and it keeps having to be pointed out.

 

We have like 9 games in 29 days or something ridiculous like that and people want to play a full strength team every 3 dayslol We need to rest players, to give the first 11 some rest and keep the rest of the squad match fit and sharp.

 

No reason we can't play a mixture of first teamers and squad players and still win this.

The following have hardly played this season

Ward, Perrera,Soyoncu, Amartey Thomas

Under, Perez, Kelechi, N’Didi, Albrighton,Choudry, Fuchs, add a slice of Tielemans, Maddison, Vardy on or off the bench...enough there to win....

We've more chance of winning the cup than the league. Play a strong side.

I’d rather win the cup than qualify for the champions league, not that they are exclusive of each other. We can do both.
