Seven times FA Cup Winners and the Pilgrims from south

Probable line-up


Get it done boys, can't afford any replays.

Only seven times?!?!

Pretty poor

Not that bad tbh, Arsenal and United on 12, Spurs on 8 and we are on 7 alongside Chelsea. Its okay imo

FA Cup has always been our Achilles heel. Only Everton have lost more finals than us.

Starting XI: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Lucas, Moreno, Stewart, Can, Ejaria, Ojo, Woodburn, Origi. Sub: Mig, Klavan, Clyne, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Firmino, Sturridge

The average age of the starting line up is just 21 years and 296 days, comfortably beating the previous record of 22 years, 303 days in the first division against Wolves in 1965.

Karius - 23
Alexander-Arnold - 18
Gomez - 19
Lucas - 29
Moreno - 24
Stewart - 23
Can - 22
Ejaria - 19
Ojo - 19
Woodburn - 17
Origi - 21

They deserved a draw. Let's get the replay date and move on. Bigger fish to fry.

Me and my big mouth . The replay on Jan 19.

With a win against Swans needed in the league on the weekend, and the 2nd leg of the cup semi the following wednesday, we definitely need to play a young side again. Perhaps we can tweak the mix a bit. However, I don't think we can risk the first-team starters in this one.

TBH, I'm not terribly bothered with progression. Of course it would be nice to progress (and perhaps ultimately win the cup), but we do have bigger aims this season. Moreover, we already have an opportunity for domestic cup success in the EFL cup. Come out guns-blazing in the 2nd leg and press on in the league. If the FA Cup falls by the wayside, I won't be bothered this season. Use it to develop some of our younger talent and progress as far as we can.

Lucas scored unluckeeeeeeeeeee

Pretty average performance this. Not really arsed.

Job done. Good performance.

Do we have a plan that doesn't include Firmino, Coutinho, Mane and Lallana??? Most of the time we played without either of those four we struggle.
