Cardiff City (A) - FA Cup - Pre Match Thread

[St.Pauli support]

Silva should be fitter than anyone after getting a number of days rest around the Christmas period. KDB should definitely get this game off though.

Maybe David takes another rest vs Cardiff, looks for his family and gets back in time for the PL match next Wednesday?
Has been playing the last 2 games.

3-1 City.

I'd be giving Dave the weekend off and be back on Monday. He's got family responsibility and should not be risked against the cloggers.

We should play Bernardo in that Silva role, he plays on right mostly but is all left foot just play him on left, when he has played there he is in place of Sane not as well.

Gundagon has to start back 4 should be Danillo, Kompany, Mangala and Zinchenko, if they play the long ball this is an ideal paring at centre half may as well as won't happen against many other teams.

Manga and vinnie will be in for me both need game time and perfect to combat the long hopeless balls Cardiff will be pinging in whenever they rarely get abit of ball time. Anybody think Yaya could do a job at 10?

This will be as tough if not tougher than the Bristol games. These are no push over as they’re going for promotion too. They’ll want to test themselves for next seasons possible opposition.
We need a strong spine to the team that will play them. With a couple of big guns as back up.
Get it out to bed early and then rest a few.
Pass them to death and make them chase the ball. They saw what Bristol did and will no doubt try that tactic. No reason why we can win this, we just need to convert the chances and move the ball through them quicker.
