Must make changes here, can't risk injuries to our key players.

We'll know before kick-off if it's even worth going through.

.............................Areola

KWP.....Mavropanos.....Todibo.....Scarles

Traore.....Magassa.....Kante.....Lamadrid

.............................Soucek

.............................Wilson

Get Pablo on for 20-30mins in the 2nd half.

[Mad Ferret]

Hoping Pablo is involved tonight.

Winning breeds confidence. Go all out for the win.

Yeah I agree with this. Also, I know the tickets are cheap, but if he chucks this like Moyes did with a league cup quarter final I am going to be pissed off about buying a ticket for it and wasting my Monday night traipsing over there. As much as I love spending half my evening with our Asian friends holding the stop/go signs whatever the score might be.

I hope this racist slur against Asians doesn't skip the new AI mod bot

I said I like spending time with them. Specially when we lost 5-1 and they cheer me up with crossed hammers poses as they turn the sign from green to red. Makes it all
worthwhile.

It’s not about wanting to give the players a break. It’s about not wanting them injured in a meaningless game.

And it will be meaningless as you just knew we will have been drawn against one of the big boys prior to kick off.

I don’t know why I’m bothering to explain this but here goes.

Firstly “ we “ can’t be drawn against a big boy because “ we “ got knocked out by Villa.

Secondly the team sheets have to be handed in way before the draw is made but I guess in your fucked up mind you think Nuno hands it in then finds out the QF is away to Arsenal and goes back into the referees room and asks if he can change a few things.

Painful. 

This is a new low for Ferret being corrected and rightly so by feet... Much worse than his Spurs predictions and saying BFS would keep WBA up at a canter... This is up with BoleynGone's Wilfred Nancy post

On Planet Ferret, If City play well, that's also a meaningless game. stop talking bollocks you cսnt

[Fauxstralian]

We aren’t in Europe and are not playing twice a week
Played in West London on Tuesday, are at home tonight and again next Saturday night
No travel & plenty of rest time 
Winning breeds winning 
No excuse not to go full strength 
Maybe Potts back after his ban & Areola in goal. That should be it
Learn the lessons Fulham & Sunderland who are safe got yesterday 

[Fat, Bald n 50]

I would love it if we went balls deep and full strength 

I would too, but being realistic..

Prem survival is more important than a cup run.

The lazy useless cunts haven't had to endure jollies in to Europe midweek and got knocked out the Whatevertheyfuckingcallitnow Cup dog early in to the season. The part-timers even get a sodding winter break now as well these days! No wonder the pampered wankers have avoided injury all season long, they rarely have to play as it is with Ramadam breaks forced upon them an all.

More chance of picking up an illness from the canteen eating poorly cooked Lasagne or one of the players chucking a dart with it landing on their foot poncing around in their sliders in the 'Players Welfare area'.

[Tomshardware]

Don't mention spurs I mentioned them once but I think I got away with it.......

[GBHammer63]

Even if we manage to get all the way in the cup we have a dozen games between now and May, it’s not a mammoth task. I’d be pretty sure that none of the team would want to be “rested” in the cup games because silverware is what they’re players for, also if Nuno “rests” some of our better players it makes the rest of the team have to work harder to try to get the result, thereby risking more chance of injury to those that are playing on an already thin squad. As said earlier what’s the point of resting players who are more than likely not going to be here next season anyway? 

[fraser]

It's actually a really boring debate that's been done a thousand times before, even more so because Nuno doesn't come on here and is going to do what he wants anyway, no matter how some of the edgy crew on here keep screaming about it. 

Fwiw, I hope he goes strong, but I suspect he will mix it up and not due to fatigue, as said we're only playing once a week, but more so due to the fear of players getting injured. Don't shoot (yell at) the messenger.

And while I'm here, stop talking about fucking Spurs all the fucking time!!

Have a snickers son. 

I'm calm, it's the others that are getting their knickers in a twist over something that they have no control over and nobody is listening. It's quite bizarre  really.

Nah it's just West Ham fans discussing which team they'd like the manager to pick for a West Ham game on a West Ham forum.. Without it what's the point.. Unless you'd prefer to talk about politics

If anyone's played sport, you can't go in half hearted or worrying about protecting yourself, that's when injuries occur. I'm also sure this group of players won't want to be sitting on their arses for another week

Probably why spurs have so many injuries.. 

everyone of their back four is apparently lined up for a big move in the summer, they're already on holiday

[Rossal]

If any of the names mentioned pick up a knock tonight and out for a while, thats relegation pretty much nailed on.  Not worth the risk IMO, leave them on the bench and hope that Traore has learnt how to play football over the weekend. 

 

Seriously you want to throw a cup.. What about if we throw it and they get injured in training... In fact may as well rest them all against City too as chance of getting anything is minimal 

 

 

Who said throw it?  I am saying I wouldn't start Summerville or Fernandes and probably Taty also.  Obviously still going for a win. They get injured we are good as down, for me its about limiting that risk to priortise best chance of survival over a potential FA Cup QF.   
There is far less risk in training than a game, that's just obvious.
