pff, If we'd left Ogbonna and Masuaku on the bench and played with 9 men it would've been closer.

Is Masuaku that bad? We got linked with him at some point last season I think, sure I saw his name crop up, may have even been over the summer what with the concerns about Rose. Can't say I've seen him play much though.
 
After the state of that Wembley pitch the other night it's probably done us a favour sticking us away again.

Be interesting to see how we line up for it, no one wants to lose an NLD, regardless of the competition.

I think both teams will line up with a strong side. Although I think we'll stick Cech in goal and he's looking like a real liability at the moment.

He's not bad going forward, but he often forgets to defend, from what I've seen of him.
Having the supremely lazy Felipe Anderson in front of him probably doesn't help. Can't be bothered to track back.

Has the date been announced yet? Think the strength of our side will be dependent on how many fixtures are surrounding it.

We're not exactly having the best of times with our "number one" either. You'll find a large portion of fans, myself included, are clamouring for Gazzaniga to be given the number one spot. Been excellent in the games he's played, last season he played once and got MOTM and has been MOTM in three of the four games he's played this season, tonight he was only outshone by our young CB, Foyth.

That Anderson is ****ing gash, £40m or something weren't he? Madness.

He looks very talented in flashes, but he's as lazy as **** and his attitude is appalling.
I was disappointed to see him subbed at half-time today, as Snodgrass grafts and makes much more of an impact.
Mainly on Moura's shin, admittedly.

So the fixture is the 18th of December it seems.

We have Burnley at 'home' on the Saturday before and Everton at Goodison on the Sunday after. I'm hoping we rotate for Burnley and chuck a strong side for the cup game.

What's the rest of the draw?

Wondering who we might get in the Semis
Arsenal v Tottenham

Leicester/Southampton v Manchester City/Fulham

Middlesbrough v Burton

Chelsea v Bournemouth

City beat Fulham heavily tomorrow and the Leicester game was called off because of the crash, understandably.

We're away to Southampton and at home to Burnley either side of that game. We play you twice in Dec now.
