Turkish Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 20 years ago today we beat Watford 2-1 in the FA Cup semi final to go on to another heroic failure losing to Arsenal in the 2003 FA cup final. Will we see a repeat today of victory followed by the standard heroic failure to be successful like we have so many other times in our history? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Must build some proper momentum into those final four games. Predict the shoehorn and another needlessly nervy win to avoid the supporters gaining too much confidence 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Watford will be very physically strong and very quick on the break, but if we play well with the ball I think we'll be able to break them down and wear their resolve. Really need to be more than a goal up heading into the last 10 though because there are issues that will take Martin more than a season to resolve on that front.

Obstacle1 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Brooks has been less than convincing in the last couple games IMO. I know he has the quality but if Stu is fit I would prefer him to start there. Good to see Bree in though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Well SA has been looking weary so an appearance from the bench seems reasonable against a physical Watford side. Maybe Bednarek is still not 100%? I certainly don't know but if it keeps a few posters happy that they can trot out their glib 'shoehorn' cliché then look on it as care in the community.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t had much opportunity in his best position and shouldn’t be judged as a right-back or centre-back. If Downes is struggling today Martin would rather put Bednarek on and push Stephens into midfield, than play Charles there. Fucking madness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly he's the only other DM we have. So if Downes gets injured we wind up with a very lightweight midfield as you're either bringing on Stu or Rothwell. With 9 subs you should be confident of covering every position. Subs include Stuart Armstrong (AM), Joe Rothwell (AM), Sam Edozie (AM), Ryan Fraser (AM), Kalameen Sulemana (AM). There is not way all of them are going to get on the pitch in any sane universe. Also, none of our promising kids on the bench which is a backwards step from earlier in the season.

I'm not a Stephens knocker and I think a lot of people are jumping on a bandwagon. Walker-Peters / Che's goal wouldn't have happened without him. Bednarek wouldn't have been in that position and played that ball. I wouldn't play him at full back, but I'd play him at CB. We need strong leadership on the pitch and he gives that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
