We will only be up against Adebayor, Defoe, Friedel, Chadli, Lamela and Sigurdsson.......much easier!!
So what and who cares.? But Good experience for whoever SB plays tomorrow. Yes i am going but the game does not matter. Sunderland has to be the focus now. Great game for the rest of our squad and some kids to play on a big stage.
Many thought that sundays team would suffer that fate. But in the end it Does not matter. We have more important games to worry about. I would put the kids on the bench but maybe start Sam Topliss at right full back.
There's a strong chance we're going to lose anyway, at least with a paper thin squad we'll not be risking anything and the kids who've done best in training can get a reward, because they aren't going to break into the PL side any time soon.
Put the same team out again tomorrow. They've had 90mins and looked good against Spurs best 11 so they will feel confident about playing their second string. It will also give Faye, Brady, Aluko and Quinn a good rest with Livermore before Sunderland. If City come away with a win tomorrow and get a good draw in the next round we could be better placed to win a cup than ever before.
