"We will have one youngster playing; the rest of the team will be the players who have played this season in the Premier League." I think I'm right in saying Watmore is the only youngster that has played in the Prem this season? So Pickford and and then some fringe players from the senior squad?
Pickford, Yedlin, Coates, O'Shea, van Aanholt, Cattermole, Lens, Toivonen, Watmore, Graham, Fletcher subs: Mannone, Jones, Borini, Defoe, M'Vila, Mavrias, Beadling.
Fairly safe choice from what we have - leaves a little room for changes as game progresses - if we play well good but if injuries occur BSA will be criticised
Totally agree about Mvilla needing a rest. In a sure to be nothing game I would have took both out if possible. I've got a horrible feeling Catts might aggravate an injury, it would be typical of our luck.
It's always the same on going area with Catts. Big Sam said he's over it like but recurring injuries are bitch
can only see an arsenal win here to be honest, we've put a decent side out but so have arsenal I think Pickford is going to have a busy day on debut, I'm just hoping to see a decent performance and it's a chance for the likes of Lens and Toivonen to show what they can do from the start.
I always use http://firstrowsportes.eu/ No idea if it'll work on FA Cup day though. I suppose we'll find out in a quarter of an hour!
Get in there Lens!! I know some have given him pelters recently but I think there's a real quality player in there somewhere. Hope he knuckles down and shows us what he's capable of!
I don`t think that what ever disputed mate, it`s his work rate Sam`s not keen on. Maybe this will help.
