Fulham away always brings back memories of that FA Cup win in the chocolate kit and Keane having a belter.
Think that midfield is a big drop off in terms of their on ball ability than Biss,Sarr,JM.
I don't think Skipp is good enough for anything other than an emergency squad player. Sanchez too. Neither should be starting. I'm prepared to accept Ange may improve them.Well - a bit harsh considering that Bissouma, Sarr and Maddison would be one of the top midfield trios in the entire league - particularly on form this season.
But, Skipp, PEH, and Lo Celso have enough about them to make this system work.
9 changes…. He’s done what every other previous manager has done and often been blasted for. Maybe we’ll be fine because of the football we play now but that’s a risk and if we do lose will he be blasted for not taking a cup seriously?
I do still think we’ll win though, especially with that bench.
Good lineup. The cups are nothing but a distraction.

If Fulham go full strength I'm not optimistic. If they don't, our reserves are better than theirs.
When is the last time that a "top" team did not play the back-up keeper in domestic Cup matches - early rounds?Really surprised at that team. Fulham are reasonably strong.
Has Forster got something in his contract to play these games….
this will be a close game.
