So if we try to rotate; Lewis Martina ? ? McQueen Clasie Hjobjerg Reed Sims Long Boufal (?) Any other youngsters can come in at the back? Young Player of the Season last year, must be fairly useful.
Even if we wanted to return Yoshida and Stephens we don't really bad anyone to play unless Gardos is finally ready! Hopefully we will see another CB come in soon.
I would like to see Yoshi and Stephens play this weekend to continue to build that all important relationship and understanding. Also important experience for young Jack
This. If he can cope with anfield and the kitchen sink then play him here. Romeu providing protection is key. If he's not there then cbs much more vulnerable.
Let's hope he has a good one. Would rather we played Forster for every game, but not practicable and it does give the lad experience if the situation arises where he has to step in for Fraz for a few games.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38743727 Lawro and guests go for an Arsenal win. Lawro for 2-0. Says although we deserved to win Wednesday's tie 4-0, it puts us at a disadvantage to Arsenal who haven't played.
When was the last time Lawro predicted us to win? Yet here we stand, mid-table and in a cup final. The guy is a tool.
It is a midweek game so this year the very lovely Mrs Godders will not be setting foot back in her native Wales for this match. This will be a tricky one for us as they have come into some good form of late. This is a match that divides our household so I always hope for a draw.
Not to worry, I'm sure you'll be able to chauffeur me again soon Getting a lift there and back so I don't even have to worry about parking.
It divides me down the middle, if I'm honest, especially this season as I really want Swansea to stay up (I get a nice easy away match!) but I'm still pretty much 70/30 for a Saints win.
My favourite teams in order of priority are: 1 The Saints by a mile. 2 Swansea (but not when they are playing us). 3 Arsenal. They are all good footballing sides.
It's fortunate we have a manager that can rotate players, because he has a difficult task for this match. We have players injured and players who could do with a rest and an important league match coming up in the week. With a Wembley trip in the bag, I suspect this game has dropped down in importance for Puel (if not the fans). No risks will be taken. On the other hand, Claude doesn't treat cup games with the contempt that other managers have done, so who knows. Over to you, Claude.
