Geogaddi Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We should be rotating heavily for this but have a bad feeling we won't, Man City game has to be the priority followed by the PSV game the week after. Even the Wolves game is bigger than this and we don't have the squad to compete on four fronts in the space of 10 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 47th in a row must win game of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We have to make wholesale changes. City and Wolves are too important. Not ideal, but if that means playing several youth players, then so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Were it not for the way we'd won it the other night, I'd probably be going into this feeling apprehensive. Fixture congestion, rotated side, bogey team... but got to have confidence thanks to the vibes atm. Obviously keen to progress but Man City is the bigger game and if we phone it in a bit at the weekend in favour of a massive performance in midweek, I probably won't shed too many tears.

The Butcher Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Rotate as much as possible imo. Play Shahar, young Murphy, Alabi , Neave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It'd be ideal to rest Thiaw for this one, but I don't think we can. I think it'll be something like Ramsdale Trippier Thiaw Botman Tino Ramsey Miley/Bruno Willock Murphy Wissa Barnes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The injury situation (an underrated burden on our season imo) makes it so difficult to rotate. The academy players obviously aren't ready to start or we'd have seen them by now, but hopefully they can get some minutes off the bench. You'd want to give anyone a rest really but it's impossible to rest a CB and it's impossible to rest any of the established attacking players. The only options are at keeper, full-back and CM. Surely Bruno has to be sat down for this one? Miley too tbh, he's so vital atm. Crucial to give Hall a rest too. Ramsdale Trippier - Thiaw - Botman - A.Murphy Ramsey - Tonali - Willock J.Murphy - Woltemade - Barnes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The centre half situation is really grim, we could really do with making moves in the market asap with so many games coming up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I’d love to win this and go on a run, but something has to give for us this season. We don’t have the squad to compete on four fronts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I would play Wolte in this and keep Wissa fresh for Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Would imagine Ramsdale, Trippier, Livramento, A.Murphy, Ramsey and Willock come into the side as a minimum and we see Shahar, Neave, Alabi, maybe Seung-soo etc populate some of the bench spots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagSA Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Would keep Thiaw, Wally and Tonali in the side. All need some confidence for different reasons. Trippier as captain and Alex Murphy at LB..Tino on the bench if needed. Midfield of Tonali, Willock and Ramsey If Murphy is fit he should play RW, Wally CF and Barnes on the LW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because we don't seem to be able to win a game against them for toffee, they usually turn into Brazil 1970 when we face them but if you ever need them to do you a favour when playing a rival side they inevitably look like a crock of shit.

Sir Joel Inton Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If we win this we desperately need a home tie in the 4th round against someone like Boreham Wood. Our fixture list and the importance of them throughout January and February is pretty wild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
