After the Boro performance Okazaki and Ulloa should never be paired up-front together.

They did ok the last time they were paired up front together (4-0 v Swansea at home in April).

They're both good players and could start in a lower level (yeah I know) prem team, however they are really matched well to play together. Okazaki is best when the whole team is pressing and Ulloa tries but can't really do that. Ulloa is best when the ball is being crossed into the box (like Slim).

Inspires me to listen to a great German neo prog group. Check out what are you listening to thread Blaarev.
 
We should be looking to go through to try for a decent cup run, but also to try and regain a winning mentality. We need to breed a bit of form.

Pick a strong team and only rotate where needed, but definitely don't go picking a youth team or Was. The likes of Musa and Mendy need some game time. If Ndidi signs in time then he should play. But pick a strong team and only rotate in players who have a realistic chance of playing their way into a first team spot.

Winning this competition would (providing we don't also get relegated) make this the second-greatest season in the club's history, and if we take it seriously we have a fighting chance. It should have equal priority with the league.
 
I was only 2 when we lost in 1949, but I watched the next three attempts at Wembley in 61, 63 and 69 and coming upto my 70 birthday in May an F A Cup Final would be a wonderful way to round of a couple of truly amazing years for our football club, we must play our strongest side available for this one.

I was there for the '69 final ( and also saw us relegated), have seen us win the premier league and the league cup - love to see us win the FA once in my life... maybe the Champions League too - who knows?

This looks pretty much spot on to me. I think Morgan will play although I do agree that it may be better for his game if he didn't. Vardy must play whatever the selection as he needs valuable game time.
 
It's a balanced side, I like it. It's certainly the strength of side I'd look to field.

I think the extra defensive midfielder gives us protection for an untried centre back pairing. It probably would force Everton wide looking for crosses rather than playing through middle. Also frees Drinkwater to go forward. Gray will need to look to support Vardy.

That all said, I'd be surprised if Ndidi starts.
 
Doesn't matter what referee we get really. Not a fixture goes by without one of them making some sort of clusterfuck.
