It’s 3 subs in the FA cup is it or 5?

5

I wish we'd played a stronger team too. The way some people are talking you'd think this is the Carabao Cup 3rd round, we are 3 matches from winning the FA Cup with the runaway champions already out of the competition. Some players need minutes yes, but not this many changes, the likes of Rashford could do with trying to find form anyway. Better hope it doesn't go wrong otherwise it will be a real dampener on the positivity from recent results.

I like the team. Stunned to see Fosu Mensah there on the bench. Good gesture given all the injuries he has had.

Yeah. We may get to see him if we are able to get convincing lead in the game.

Got a feeling we’ll struggle for some reason.

Yeah, that was nerve-wracking. Hope Ole won't regret this. Kill the game quickly, sink 'em with 3 goals and sub out Bruno early.

absolutely! Every game we get through without an injury to Bruno or Pogba and our top 4/EL chances increase. Those two should be carefully handled.

Havak · Jun 27, 2020

Will admit I'm a little worried that we will be a bit slow and lack width on the counter attack in particular, but if things aren't going well that's one hell of a bench with five changes available!

Are we playing the same* team that played in the last round for the sake of it? Seems a bit amateurish if it's more than a coincidence.

That makes no sense at all

Suvvernmanc · Jun 27, 2020

This Norwich team beat spurs in the last round. They beat man city earlier this season too.

This is not going to be an easy game with that starting lineup.

Deleted 112447 · Jun 27, 2020

Just realized Fosu-Mensah is in the squad. Could he actually have another chance at making it here?

From the line-up, it looks like we're expecting a lot of the ball.

Not much pace there.

Bruno, Mata, Lingard - looks like we're gonna be trying to unlock a deep defence (maybe that's why James isn't in the squad?)

Not expecting a pretty watch. Very strong bench though if things are going tits-up.

Prediction: 1-0.

Is he injured? I would have expected him the squad today. I'm pleased Ole has completely changed the side, as we can't underestimate this tie. That team should be plenty good enough.

Romero another CS.
Ighalo score another goal.

Creativity will comes from Bruno, Mata and Dalot.

Subs are interesting.

Plan B --- 2nd half Total Attacks!
Lindelof injured in training?
TFM still exist!

Salus Populi Suprema Lex · Jun 27, 2020

I'm not turning on the game until kick off, in case they discuss you know what :lol:

Sassy Colin · Jun 27, 2020

Not Lingard, ffs. Andres was doing alright as a sub, give him the minutes.

I hope we'l have most of the possession so pace might not be the biggest issue, i suspect this is what Ole was thinking too. Mata is not bad at all at finding good passes and with Bruno, we hopefully have enough to break them. If not, bring the cavalry in the second half.

We will, but Norwich commit players forward, so there would be a lot of use for a bit of pace. It’s why we didn’t struggle with them earlier in the season, they were one of the rare teams not to sit back.

A three month break with no proper training regimen, suddenly being thrown into long intensive games. Don't you see players dropping like flies everywhere else?

How exactly do you know there wasn't individual training regimens? Or are you assuming?

Yes, but i hope we don't have to run after the scoreline!

Not sure why Williams isn't being given a game.

Think it has to do with playing Dalot on the other side. Playing both of 'em are somewhat risky defensively.

Very good point!

If Lingard plays well today he might earn a big move to Norwich next year.

Same feeling here.

With that midfield I think we'd dominate possession. But both Dalot and Bailly have issues with their concentration. Really hope no brainfart this time.

He could be a key star as a right winger for us to push for the title. Who needs Sancho?

I‘m shitting with you. I’ve already explained the latter though, you’re making an assertion with half of the information required to do so. Williams might not have been training well, might not be fit, might have a tight calf, might have a cold. It’s just daft to question why players are playing when we don’t have any of that info.

First I didn't make an assertion. I'm just asking questions, didn't say any information or facts, just asked "why", second, you know you could have just said that without saying "stupid things" and "calling them out", you know ?

BeforeKeanetherewasRobson · Jun 27, 2020

Alan Shearer .... "Pukki has to get back to scoring goals".

Stay tuned for more insightful comments from him.

Sure, why not? Most people seem to be judging him based on his long time out and short cameos in the reserves. Everyone deserves a chance and no one knew Brandon would look so good in the first team until he actually did.

It shall not be mentioned, like Mafia omerta. Just win today and cheer us all up a little.

Hope we don’t regret the selection. Norwich look desperate with recent team selections, but they are under no pressure today.

From our point of view, no home support is a big plus. We should be more than good enough.

No problem at all. I was just surprised that's all. I don't really want to pick problems with anyone.

Have a nice day and hopefully we'll all enjoy the match.

I IMMEDIATELY turned it off, only when bbc started the match discussion I turned it on. It's ALL over, stay far away when its not a match. Wouldn't be surprised if Lineker or the others throw it in there. Of if there is a ad.

Rado_N · Jun 27, 2020

I get making changes and why but I would still rather have played full strength, give this lot a thrashing and further build confidence and momentum.

BeforeKeanetherewasRobson · Jun 27, 2020

Feck negativity.

2-0.

MUM · Jun 27, 2020

Shearer and co rightly giving Bruno plenty of praise.
Let's be cruel to Krul tonight lads.

SirAnderson · Jun 27, 2020

Interesting to see Ole's mindset, that this team has just 1 change from the last game and his reasoning was that Maguire was actually supposed to start that last game, but he was ill. So they had a system on who was to play this game well before lockdown, as he says this group has been playing together as a team and they deserve to get another chance today.

Here most of us are making lineups and wishes based on current fixtures and the like, they picking up from the last game months ago.

DWelbz19 · Jun 27, 2020

Worried about the lack of penetration in the side. Everyone in the front 4 wants to come short or play with the ball than without it — Ighalo in the targetman sense.
