Port Vale (H) - FA Cup 3rd Round Pre-match Thread

[ninjamonkey]

I hope we go strong in both cups particularly in net but with respect, for this tie full rotation should be in effect given the standard of opposition.

The question is does he concentrate on giving players rest/minutes or look to incorporate the 5 at the back formation too to get more minutes in with the system. I think he will go for the latter.

Given I somehow predicted the Everton team bar the keeper, I’m going for back to back mind sync’s with Pep

i think it may be a little stronger and if Stones is fit, he may get a run out purely for fitness purposes. Pep takes this cup pretty seriously usually but last year we had Burton after, not United and he only played Foden of the younger lot.

Stones definitely could be in for Garcia if he is fit. Otherwise I think we will be resting most of those that played last night for the utd game.

Bernabe.......Merlin............Braaf

Shouldn’t let Dinho, Rodri and KDB anywhere near this game. Sterling and Bernardo to get a couple mins of the bench. 60 mins for Aguero

Like the idea of stones with one of the kids beside him, might take responsibility a be the leader in that situation

Think we will play 3 at the back now till end of the season.

 

[Marvin]

Very difficult to predict. I think we'll play Harwood Bellis and Garcia so I think he will play 4 at the back

....................Bravo
Cancelo..Garcia..Harwood-Bellis..Zinchenko
-----------------Gundogan
----------D.Silva----------Foden
--Bernardo-----Jesus------Sterling

I think Ederson, Mendy, KDB, Walker, Rodri and Aguero will be rested for Utd.

I could see players like Doyle and Bernabe getting some game time too. I would like to see young players starting and experienced players on the bench as insurance if needed. If we are winning then bring on more young players instead of older players, but above all pick a side which is strong enough to win.
