Birmingham City (H) - FA Cup R3 | Pre-Match Thread

What;s wrong with Laporte Covid or injured?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

This very well could be a game where he starts a youngster out of the blue, I don't have the balls to predict who though.

Fortune favours the brave. :)

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

No way that Dias, Foden and Sterling should play again so soon. Allow them the rest they thoroughly deserve.

Nor Cancelo. He was here, there and everywhere last night.

Nor Cancelo. He was here, there and everywhere last night.

I was referring to the starting eleven picked by the previous poste Blu3moon. I agree that Cancelo needs to rest. The only possibly starter from last night (other than Steffen) might be Zinchenko as he can play in midfield allowing Mendy a run at left back.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Should rest a few for this, whoever we play should be enough to see off a Birmingham team in poor form.

I’d like to see us start with:

Steffen
Walker
Laporte
Aké
Mendy
Rodri
Doyle
Foden
Bernardo
Delap
Aguero

 

[Didsbury Dave]

The perfect game to have next. We can play the players coming back from COVID, to test their stamina. We can give Sergio a start and 60 minutes. Laporte, Bernado, Mendy and Ake need game time. The EDS lads haven't been given much this season either.

Some of you will hate me for saying this, but it doesn't even matter if we lose. There would be a massive silver lining to that cloud because of the forthcoming fixture pileup. The focus this unique season is the big two.

You're about as likely to start as McAtee.

If he was going to start a kid in midfield it would be Nmecha, he's the oldest and has been on the bench lately.

 

[supersonicblue]

Shame Palmer and Doyle are out because they probably would’ve started. Nemecha is the most likely to start

 

[Vienna_70]

Think it's only fair we play Frank Carson for this one.

That’s a cracker!
