Vs Everton (H) F.A.Cup 3rd Round 06/01/23 20:00GMT K.O.

Let's keep this good run going.

I want the FA Cup back, its been far too long. Full strength side against a poor Everton side and get it done.

Martial needs to start firing. It’s not as though he’s not trying and isn’t in one of his lazy, petulant moods. Hope it happens against the scouse.

Martial to start “fireing” is sadly akin to fish riding a bicycle!
He’ll certainly wear gloves though to look good!

I'll be tuning in for sure for another Casemiro master class

Imagine if he’s rested for McTominay 😇

Better not be 🤦‍♂️😂

If Erik does want to rest him though then surely it'll be the Charlton game on Tuesday.

I'd say we're more likely to play full strength side tonight and then make a lot of changes for the Charlton game. I want to see that 1st choice back 4 playing regularly now in most games though again after the WC disruption. Maguire Lindelof etc have been ok in these easier games, but there have been signs, even in the Bournemouth game

Stupid Friday night games, I'll miss this as I booked theatre tickets months ago (to see My Neighbour Totoro).

I hope we win this, ideally whilst resting a couple of lads. The fact we've only won the FA Cup twice this century is outrageous, should be 5/6 times at a minimum. No better time than the present to start fixing that.

[caino]

full side, put them to bed early on and make subs.

DDG

AWB - Varane - Martinez - Shaw

Case - Eriksen

Rashford - Bruno - Garnacho

Martial

Martinez can't play 90m as just returning.
Martinez for Maguire
Case for McTom
Eriksen for Fred
Rashford for Elanga
Bruno for Antony

real shame as VDB is out as its an option of the bench not available

Charlton game is the quarter finals. It would be a mistake to take it lightly especially as a lot of big teams have already been knocked out of the competition so it could be our best chance of silverware. So I would be OK with resting a few players against Everton especially given their terrible form and the early stage of the competition. Charlton on the other hand have nothing to lose and will see the QF as a cup final which makes them dangerous.

But Eriksen rather than Casemiro is the obvious one to rest as he seems to struggle playing twice a week. Also Antony is coming back from injury and doesn't really deserve a starting place anyway based on current form especially as Rashford has demonstrated during the World Cup the ability to play on the right and Martial is amazingly still fit (but not firing).

My team would be:

De Gea-Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia-Fred, Casemiro-Garnacho, Bruno, Rashford-Martial

Antony can come off the bench later in the game to get some minutes and Eriksen and Shaw can come on if we aren't creating anything

Hopefully we can give these a good spanking tonight, would be lovely to be the final straw that sacks Lampard.

Part of me really wants this, but I’d also like him to stay on until relgation is assured for them.
