Christmas Tree 4831 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Peoples thoughts on this given our current position, Europe etc. Sounds as though Pardew is only going to make a few changes and I think has also said Sammy Ameobi will definitely start. Not as important as avoiding the drop, but an FA cup final is still more important than reaching the latter stages of Europe (to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Would like to see Pardew play a strong team for this. Maybe include a couple of the youngsters such as Tavernier at right-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 878 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I don't attach a particularly high value to an FA cup run considering the situation we're in, but I don't want to go out to these bastards two years running, so I hope we do enough to beat them.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thankful there's an FA Cup weekend now tbh. Gives us time to get a couple new players in and a couple back from injury before Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe include a couple of the youngsters such as Tavernier at right-back. Don't think he'll have much of a choice? I mean, he could field the likes of Elliot Tavernier Colo Perch Santon Anita Bigi Abeid Obertan ---------------- Amalfitano Ameobi But I can't think of a centre half that's fit that we can play instead of Colo, or a central midfielder instead of Anita, or a left back instead of Santon?

PaddockLad 17660 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We need a win for morale more than anything....Tav in at right back is the only change I'd make at the back, Perch into the centre of the park for Tiote...after that its tricky....if we're going 433 theres not much choice but to pick Shola tbh. Thing is Marveux offers little defensively, and Obertan not a lot more...its bare bones time atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a sense of dread about this since Poyet always seems to take us up the arse. Having said that I hope we have a decent go at them notwithstanding our perilous league position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7492 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Young players all the way where possible, give the rest a break so that hopefully win some additional players it can be a fresh starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that. I'm going and was there last season, don't want to walk out of the ground again feeling fuckin humiliated. No midweek games, play as near to full strength as we can. If we play the youth team we'll get beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Definitely wouldn't risk Cisse in this one. It's effectively a moot game for us given the precarious nature of our league position. Will Ray Stubbs be trying to get any of our players retrospectively banned after the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3508 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We're playing a team that involves Gus Poyet! May as well forfeit now and save the players and embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
