FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

Yes Steer played for Yeovil. If Given doesn't make it,  who would then be the sub keeper?

[silhillvilla]

Well if Given is out there's no way you risk Guzan today , hence Steer playing ??

[Matt Collins]

That's definitely what he did I imagine.

Not sure who goes on the bench next week. Emergency loan for petr cech?

[PeterWithesShin]

If there is no Given, then we'd have to stick the U18 keeper on the bench I assume.

[MONCABA]

I think  the current under 18 keeper Charlie Banner is injured at the moment.

[PeterWithesShin]

We'd just have to go down through the reserves to the most senior/best keeper that is fit.

[Ron Manager]

If I remember correctly Peter McParland played in goal for part of a match when Nigel Sims was injured in the fifties and he will be there next Saturday ready for selection!

He can play outside left as well.

Eh ? Guzan in goal , steer on bench

Eh ? Guzan in goal , steer on bench

Steer is cup tied.

[PaulWinch again]

Well we play like we have the last couple of weeks and we'll lose. Hopefully we won't.

Kiraly.

Steer is cup tied.

Ah, I see.

[Matt Collins]

Who would have thought we'd be praying for Kieran Richardson to be fit for the final . .

Still don't really got quite what he's got against cissokho. Move him on maybe. But he's got to be a better bet than our other options

[silhillvilla]

Isn't Cissoko injured ?
I'd play lowton LB and Hutton RB

[john2710]

I think it's clear that Sherwood does not rate Cissohko, Lowton, Gil or Weimann as none of them have featured much or at all in weeks.

I hope that Sherwood is playing mind games when saying we'll go toe to toe with them, otherwise we'll be talking in years to come about our naivety. We need to keep things tight, close down the space, hassle them & hit them when we turn the ball over.

Arsenal's players & fans will be confident that they will beat us & in truth they should. But we might just surprise them, nobody gave us a hope against Liverpool.
