There is no way, we should be loaning out strikers to Stoke for a start.

No way we are going to play both Negredo and Dzeko. My bet is on Dzeko starting, if he's fit

we could really do with Guidetti involved on Wednesday so we can rest at least 1 of the strikers, and then loan him out. Don't think that'll happen though

It's an ideal situation to give one of the big men a rest - well, hardly a rest when it's a game we wouldn't have had anyway. But i'm not sure it will happen neither.

I hope Lopes gets a game!

 

[bluemc1]

Even if its risky, we need to make as many changes as possible and hope home advantage helps us. Start Panti, Lescott, Clichy, Micah, Garcia, Navas, Milner, Lopes.

I will add Guidetti and Fofana to the list

Kinda weird feeling, but the FA Cup is our least important competiton at the moment. Rest everyone, if we get knocked out i wont be as gutted as i normally would be. However, i still fully expect us to win even with a shit team out.

Seriously, Budweiser is among the crappest lagers of all time.

Yes but the original Czech Budweiser is nectar.

This. We have to play the fringe players in the early rounds to get them match fit in case of injury, whilst keeping the first team fresh - especially after the "brutal" Newcastle game. Given the draw we should be able to get through the 4/5th rounds with a second string. If we go out of the CL to Barca we can refocus our efforts but for now the FA Cup has to take a back seat.

My team;

Pants

Micah (if fit. if not Boyata)
Lescott
Demichelis
Clichy

Garcia
Milner
Navas
Lopes
Huws

Dzeko

Bench: ferna, Aguero, Nastasic, Silva, Hart, Negredo, Me

Same team for West ham and possibly slightly strengthened for the 5th round

Blackburn are dogshit and we have Chelsea coming up on the 3rd Feb which could be a title decider!
