Beat Sunderland in the CC and you'll be looking at:3rd and 4th round ties will have no Partey, Pepe, Auba or Elneny.
Considering we’ll have to go to Sp*rs with only Xhaka, Sambi and AMN in midfield I’d go with the likes of Patino for this.
Shows what dunces the mod team are if they think this should be a priority and run the few options we have into the ground.
If this wasn't literally the only image ever to make it out of our last successful run in the comp I'd be well up for another cup win btw. I was on cloud 9 last time (and the one where we broke the Emirates drought).
Beat Sunderland in the CC and you'll be looking at:
A tough FA Cup game sandwich between a potential SF against Tottenham/West Ham, Liverpool or Chelsea, having played Man City on NYD
You try and win every competition you compete in bar the EFL. Big clubs with good squads can afford to do that. So full tilt at the league and FA cup with no compromise.
Surely AFCON is a complicating factor though?
Sp*rs game is going to be absolutely massive for top 4 so I’d forgive Arteta for putting the kids out in this.
