Hope so. Had a dream that he came back, started up top and the front three of

sanchez - Perez - Walcott

began terrorising. Obvs this is the reason why I'm now running late for work. Wonder if my boss will accept this as a valid excuse.

Need to win this to keep run going.

Arguably the worst ever 19 game undefeated run anyone has ever had but even a shit run is a good run

In fairness it has had PSG x2, Utd Away, Spurs and Chelsea.

But I know you mean the quality of our performances over the results. :smartass:

It's time for Ramsey and Iwobi. Ramsey has the ability to lead a bunch of average players. So 4-4-2 with Iwobi as No 10 and Ramsey playing B2B. Make sure Coq can cover Holding and we are good to go.

Martinez
Maitland Niles Gabriel Holding Gibbs

Elneny Coq Ramsey Iwobi

Perez Giroud

on Lucas…
Lucas is for the first time in training today [Friday]. He might be in contention for Wednesday [against Southampton], but one training session is not enough to be involved on Sunday.

Anyone else just love to win this f***ing 3rd cup after 20+ years of coming close.

We have had some fantastic nights watching the youth and potential with flashes of brilliance; only for the senior players to f**k it up come the semi-final / final.

Do it for all those rejects who have come and gone :arsesmile:

If we win the trophy, we should have a parade but only with the likes of Vela, Bendtner, Denilson, baptista etc on the bus.

Add Szczesny and kos as they cost us last time.

Yup. It's silverware and I don't give a shit how many people hate on it. I don't mind if we dropped it to go all out no distractions for the PL etc. But for the first time in ages, I feel we are equipped to win this and go to the wire in the PL.

If this is our shit patch and we still aren't losing excessively, we have a great chance when we hit form and start giving people real problems.

Yeah I fully agree I believe we have a very strong 'B' team with the quality of the squad that could take on the weaker squads of other teams. If the senior players cant get going for a semi-final 'hopefully' than they just don't have the hunger come Mar/Apr in the League IMO.

Need to start Ospina. This is a big game and we cant afford to chance Martinez.

Also rest Sanchez, Kos and Ozil.

Put Hollywood in the number 10 role and give game time to Holding.
