Django_Zooms Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Is this tie on BBC1 live at 1730 on Saturday 6th January 2024, as announced across all media on December 7th 2023, by any chance?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 It is priority number 3 for us but I never want to see Villa lose a match. Emery will make a few chances but so will probably Boro as they have a league cup semi final coming up as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Boro have been up and down in the league this season. However they're certainly the sort of team who could upset us if we mix and match and aren't fully on it. That said they have the league cup SF v Chelsea the next week so they'll probably make as many if not more changes than us. Do replays still exist in this round or does it get settled on the night? I'll go for a 1-2 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery will make a few chances but so will probably Boro as they have a league cup semi final coming up as well. I think I would also put it as the third priority. But I know others won’t view it like that which is fair enough. I don’t think Emery or the team would quite characterise it as the lower priority, but I am expecting a bit of shake up of the team to rest a few players. As you say, Boro will have the league cup semi final a few days later, they’re currently three points away from a play off position so they probably have an eye on that too…it’s quite likely that Boro will view this as the third priority.

I’m very proud of our League Cup wins, others have dismissed it as a competition throughout its history. I’d love to see an FA Cup win and don’t think we should just be junking the competition but it’s fairly apparent many need a rest next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 We will almost certainly take the chance to rest some players, we have some of the team running on fumes already. For me Emi, Konsa, McGinn, Luiz and Ollie all get the weekend off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Rest a couple for sure but still go fairly strong. I'd like to see Zaniolo, Iroegbunam and Jhon Duràn start the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Give the first team players a complete break from training and insist they go on a warm weather holiday with their loved ones. Keep the squaddies and kids behind for this game. Olsen cash. Carlos lenglet chambers (?) Kamara Donks Tim Traore Zaniolo Duran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Think I’d go: Olsen Cash Carlos Lenglet Moreno Zaniolo Kamara Tim Ramsey Diaby Duran Hopefully get Kamara, Carlos and Diaby off for O’Reilly, Chambers and Donks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted December 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2023 I don't want to see mcginn or watkins anywhere near this squad, 2 week rest for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Absolutely don't want to throw this game like some are suggesting. We haven't won a cup since 1996 and this is a very real chance for us to do just that. There are some players in the squad that need a long rest, that's fine rest them. Others need game time to get them back up to speed, Pau, Moreno, Ramsey, Diaby. Realistically the players have 7 days now, with 3 days off. They then have 8 days until the game after; a rest has come for them all regardless of this game. After the Everton game they all have a two week rest.

Sulberto21 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 If we had won one fa cup every decade since our last win I wouldn’t be too bothered about this one this season. But 1957 is too long for us to be without this trophy. Imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
