Gone for a score draw - would like to see Jose go 3 in the centre and try something different but not confident he will - hence the score draw

If he doesn't go 3 in the middle with Kane out of action, he never will IMO.

Quite difficult to get motivated to watch this. Depressing enough going back to work tomorrow.

Seems Cirkin is part of the match day squad. Probably won't start but good to see him there. Think someone said Jose is a fan?

Who is Cirkin? I am guessing a youth player but not been in and about the youth thread for a while.

In the summer Pleat told me we had some good left foot young player.
No names were mentioned.
Probably one I guess

We've currently got a paper thin squad due to injuries, so you can bet your house on this being a score draw and a replay. Still, I'd take that over being knocked out today: this is the only competition we can realistically win this season, and IMO we should be prioritising the FA Cup over all else for the remainder of this particular season.

I'm at the point where even though the step up to 4th isn't massive if we get our shit together, it's so unlikely we will that it's better to go all out for the FA Cup and CL run and let whatever happens in the league happen.

That being said, even with a bit of rotation and a handful of youngsters in we should in normal circumstances be able to beat Boro, despite their recent good run.

Mourinho is worse than Poch when it comes to giving academy players the chance loool

Very strong team tho, we should be able to beat them

Strong team given the circumstances, glad to have a manager on board who will treat the cups with the respect that they deserve.
