[PaulTheVillan]

4-1

Olsen
Garcia Konsa Mings Maatsen
      Bogarde McGinn
  Bailey Asensio Rashford
  Malen

Can't ever see us keeping a clean sheet ever again.

Callum Robinson to score with their first shot.
El Ghazi to get a round of applause.

If thats case and we go out i and many others will not be happy.
.if we go strong we should have too much for them.

The best thing about this is that you can just say “well, it was only Cardiff reserves” if we do beat them.

Win win.

Edit - Gwyn Gwyn?

I saw on Twitter that Cardiff will be looking to rest players on Friday due to injuries and the upcoming schedule.  Academy players may feature.

They will still score with their first shot.

You don't say.

Performative, pre-emptive rage.

This cup should be priority number one now. We've fucked the league up good and proper and have only a minimal chance of winning the European Cup. Full effort and selection in for a cup we haven't won in donkeys now.

Agreed. The Europa League for next season looks like a vey good opportunity.

I have an under 16 ticket for the game but the young lad can’t go. Don’t think you can upgrade to an adult? If not, does anyone have any idea how strictly the turnstile operators ‘police’ the restricted tickets/entry?

I do look young for my age.

I think you can upgrade if you pay the difference or at least you used to be able to. Might be worth giving them a call.

Win this cup and we can lose every league game 4-1 until the rest of the season for all I care.

I go with my lad and they never check if I go through on his ticket...I just scan.

Indeed. Shall we get all the adjectives in now. EMBARRASSING…..DISGUSTING………DISGRACEFUL

Garcia and Maken are sure to start as they can’t play in Brugge.

If Martinez is out I’d go Zych in goal, putting Olsen in just kills the crowd - obviously won’t happen but that is what I would like to see….

My side would be;

Zych
Garcia Konsa Mings Digne
Bogarde Teilemans
Malen Rashford Ramsey
Watkins

Likes of Maatsen, McGinn, Rogers, Bailey, Barkley amongst subs but would like to see Jimoh-Aloba & perhaps Broggio and Borland on the bench too and Jimoh- Aloba actually get on after half a dozen bench appearances

Demitri I fully expect your Mount Olympus rage if we lose to academy players. I will sit back and enjoy!

But I do think we have the best chance to get silverware this year in the FA cup as opposed to winning Fuck All. Let’s do it as I am in the generation of only seeing 2 league cups. That was 29 years ago. We should be winning more silverware if only to shut the rags up a bit. No chance in the European Cup really so let’s go for it tomorrow

Olsen, Garcia, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, Bogarde, McGinn, Bailey, Asensio, Rashford, Malen

Can see a bit of a struggle in all honesty. Any kind of win in 90mins with no injuries would be ideal.

Exactly what I think it will be, shame we can't give McGinn a rest but there are not many other options, other than Ramsey in centre mid, but I've never seen anyone play him there before.

Ramsey would seem to have the ability to take the ball under pressure and turn and pass so in that aspect you'd it might be worth trying him in that role, the tactical discipline would be more of an issue.
