Dark Munster Posted 10 February, 2014 Share Posted 10 February, 2014 Personally id make a few changes and give Lallana, Jay Rod, Davis, Fonte, Lambo, Shaw a break with saturday in mind. A loss to Hull means nothing really if we can save players for the cup game. Im sure most would take a loss tomorrow if we can win on saturday. id go for Boruc clyne - yos- jos- chambers ---wanyama---cork---- Guly----------------JWP --------Reed-------- ------Galagher-------- Like. Maybe replace Reed with Adam and Boruc with Kelvin. Full strength for Saturday, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 10 February, 2014 Share Posted 10 February, 2014 The league is far more important than a Cup match, so if anything I would put your team up against Sunderland and play the stronger one against Hull. I hope you are taking the **** and seeking a bite? If not, that is seriously retarded thinking. A day out (and hopefully a win at Wembley) vs finishing 1 or 2 places higher ... jesus christ.

We are sleep walking to relegation I think. Right: 1. You are right, we are not safe yet and we need to get to 40 plus points before we can relax. 2. Each place in the premier league is worth a lot of money. We could finish 7th or even as low as 17th, we could even be relegated. That is a lot of money at stake. 3. The chances are we will come a cropper against one of the 'bigger' clubs. So, we concentrate on the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 10 February, 2014 Share Posted 10 February, 2014 I would pick: Borutch Chambers. Font. Yoshida. Clyne Wanyama. Davis JWP. Guly. Rodriguez Gallagher bench: KD, Jos, Targett, Morgan, lallana, Lambert, Isgrove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 11 February, 2014 Share Posted 11 February, 2014 Surely Gallagher won't be ready to return tonight? I'm not one for resting players but I'd start Rickie on the bench Boruc Clyne Fonte Jos Shaw Wanyama Schnederlin Guly Davis Lallana J Rod That team should be good enough to scrape a point.If Big Vic and Cork can't play together, I'd rather Cork plays on Saturday.

jasonb Posted 11 February, 2014 Share Posted 11 February, 2014 Hull are awesome at home. Check the stats. They don't concede - probably because they attack. Have to say HOME WIN. Sadly, my gut instinct agrees with you. Then again I've got man-flu so it's touch and go I'll even make it to kick off. As a result, my gut is decidedly off. I would happily accept a defeat tonight and a win on Saturday. If the footballing gods could sort that out cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 11 February, 2014 Share Posted 11 February, 2014 (edited) People saying we don't need to strengthen the squad, then predicting us to lose tonight.. Crazy.. And then they'll no doubt moan and lambast the team and the manager because we lost. We needed a striker and a left back if we want to maintain our league position and go for the cup but as we seem to be on an economy drive just now I doubt that we had any real intention of signing anyone. I calculated that with the departure of Cortese, sale of Puncheon and loaning out Osvaldo we could in theory have saved about 3.5 million £ in the second half of the season...not bad.

I guess it does, but not by loads. You win £1.8m for the FA Cup. It's now about £1.3m a place in the Prem. I know you'd have to add up all the Gate Receipts and merchandise and all that lark, but it's not masses of difference, esp if you finished 2/3 places higher.

But you get extra TV money from the FA Cup as well (provided you're on TV that is). £247,500 for the 5th round game per club I think, plus a load of extra money for winning in each round. when you add it all up a cup final appearance must bring in about 5 or 6 million more than getting knocked out in the 4th round.
