We really wanted an easier draw for confidence I think. Another year dumped out of FA cup immediately is no good. We've got to get the confidence in the group up so should be playing the best team we have got imo...could work the other way against you of course!
Actually what we should do is buy a whole squad of top players and just register them to play in the FA Cup, so they wont affect our Premier League FFP status. They can then concentrate on winning us our first trophy in 52years.
