Team vs. M'boro FA CUP

[wirE]

This is a cup we need to win. We have our next game against Liverpool 6 days after this game, so I don't reckon Jose will spare anyone from the first team

Don’t care, I’m not gonna watch it. But give the kids a chance and play Alli & Lucas as well to be thought a lesson.

I think Tanganga should play to be honest. I have no confidence in any existing back four players.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Go strong. These players need something to look forward to and play for. Our season fell apart last year as soon as the PL and domestic cups fell through in Jan/Feb.

Hopefully competition for places in FAC and CL games will give us an uplift in the PL games.

Gazza, Foyth, Sanchez, Toby, Sess, Dier, Winks, Eriksen, Lamela, Dele, Son. Parrott on the bench.

It would be arrogant to underestimate Boro, and I hope Jose won't make that mistake.

Go full strength in the 1st half, and give the kids a run out if we're comfortably ahead in the 2nd.

We have almost a week between games, no reason whatsoever to play a weakened side.

As strong team as we can put out or we will be on the end of another cup shock. Boro have picked up a bit of form lately

 

[Japhet]

I think Mourinho will see the FA Cup as his salvation this season the way things are going. I expect him to put out a strong team (whatever the fuck that means at the moment). I think Dele will start and maybe regain a bit of confidence - same with Dier and possibly Foyth at CB. I'd really like Skipp to be given a chance but I doubt that will happen as I expect to see Winks and Dier chasing shadows in midfield when we should have 3 in there controlling the game.

Foyth shouldn't be near a squad never mind starting and Rose is injured.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Has to be full strength, we have 6 days until the next game and this is our only chance of silverware:
Gazza

Aurier
Toby
Sanchez
Jan

Sissoko
Eriksen

Lucas
Dele
Sessengon/Lamela

Son

 

[spurs mental]

If the players care enough and try hard enough to win this game we will have enough.

We should have enough with some rotation to win this even though they've picked up some form.

Gazza
Foyth Sanchez Dier Sessegnon
Winks Sissoko
Lamela Lo Celso Moura
Son​

 

[Marauder]

Yeah we will be full strength, that's for sure. The last thing we need right now is to be knocked out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle.

And tbh, we could have used an easier fixture! I can see this one being not just tricky but quite difficult too.

 

[JollyHappy]

Skipp Tanganga and Parrot played against Colchester and that didn't go well!

 

[Gbspurs]

Mourinho plays the strongest side available all day long on this one.

 

[JKendall13]

The Southampton game was unacceptable but you could also see quite a few players were absolutely knackered, which is understandable considering how Mourinho has leaned on a select group of players coming in. Have to give some of those lads a rest, or the performance will be bad and they'll still be tired.

I hope we'll see something more like this:

Gazzinga
Foyth Sanchez Tanganga Sessegnon
Skipp Winks
Lamela Lo Celso Son
Parrott

but we won't.​

Boro will fancy their chances, rightly so too.

They will almost certainly have more intensity and desire than us so we need to make sure we turn up ready for it.

We will lose. There’s just something totally wrong with us.
