Do we stick with Pants for the Semi & Final?

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Pants has done well in the cup when called upon. However, he's not really played in big games for us and may well go to pieces on the day at Wembley.

Hart is solid, experienced and regarded by many as being amongst the worlds top four keepers.

I think the best way would be for Joe to start the game, and if we get a couple of goals up, then swap Joe for Pants in the second half with the game won. I'm sure Hart wouldn't begrudge pants a piece of the action.

He played him against the Scum in the 3rd round last season aswell.

It doesn't matter one iota what anyone thinks, it's Mancini's call and as a manager you live or die by your decisions.

For what it's worth I reckon he'll start with Pants

I agree. I think Pants has earned a place in the semi and I think Mancini will stick with him.

I agree and that goes for starting a strong 11 as we can. Pants deserves his "15 minutes of fame" though.

Sometimes i go with pants and sometimes i go with boxers.

It depends on the day really.

Panty Lemon will play and he deserves the opportunity.
