FA Cup 3rd Round - ManUre (A) Monday 10.1.22 7.55pm KO

[Risso]

You've got to play the "big boys" at some point.

[Brazilian Villain]

Chelski always seem to get  easy draws ..  Flukey fuckers .

This is a regular bone of contention on the Yanited forum i.e. Chelski and Citeh get easy draws in the early rounds of cups. Here are Yanited's 3rd round draws for the last 10 years so not really an accusation that could be thrown at them recently (apologies for the use of United).

United v Villa
United v Watford
Wolves v United
United v Reading
United v Reading (again)
Yeovil v United
United v Swansea
West Ham v United
Citeh v United
United v Liverpool

A mancunian Man United fan I'm mates with said he's nervous about this draw. He had hoped for an easier draw.

I think Gerrard will approach cup ties differently to how Smith did. I can't see him changing all 11 players and I think the only kids he'll use are ones who are already in his thoughts in league games. He'll have to go strong with this game so it's a shame that we don't get to see what his approach would be against lower league opponents.

[LeeB]

Full strength team for this, he's made noises since he joined about the FA Cup which suggest either someone has tipped him off that it means a bit more to us than most, or he's been canny enough to work it out for himself.

[OCD]

He's also the type that wants to win everything and will understand what a good cup run can do for a club. He won't let the players think it's ok to get knocked out or send out negative vibes by fielding a weak team selection.

yeah if we're about 8th/ 9th/10th or lower come January I can't see any reason why we wouldn't go for it.

[Drummond]

We have to go for it. First 11 and nothing else please.

[Brend'Watkins]

We have to go for it. First 11 and nothing else please.

Absolutely.  We're not in Europe or the League cup so every game from now on we have to go for 100% to win.

This is something I quite often think.  If you're not in Europe, why not go full strength in every cup game?  It's not like you're going to have massive fixture congestion even if you reach the final of one of them.

No doubt we'll sell out again, but what a rubbish KO time for away (and in this case home) fans.

Now there's a surprise.

I'm not sure there's ever been a Man Utd FA Cup tie not shown on the BBC (when they've had the rights to show the FA Cup).

Monday night what a absolutely crap day and time for the game
