McGoldrick must be due a goal

Brewster certainly is.

Werner has to play here. He must nick a goal or two.

Hmm Barnsley after this one, I hope Tuchel takes that seriously we need to give it a good shot in the cup.

Don't really care about the cup. Top 4 is the priority.

Always loved the FA cup, even since RDM 43 seconds in in 97. 

Sheffield's been very good lately. I still think we are too strong to them in this current form. 1-3. McGoldrick scores a worldie, Tammy x2 and Pulisic.

Irrespective of Sheffield being bottom. They can be a very tricky team, they beat Man U, and city barely scraped a 1-0 win. We can’t take this game lightly 

 

3-4-2-1

Just don't underestimate them and remember we lost 3-0 against that same team in July. Yes they are having a terrible season but most of the games they've lost by a one goal margin.

I still think they have a slight chance of staying up.

Is Ampadu allowed to play in the game for Sheffield?

No

I wouldn’t be deviating much from the team played in the last few games. It’s another must win. Barnsley game Tuchel can rest most of the starters and give others a chance whilst still putting out a very strong side.

97.................

Chelsea at 1:15 Sunday... then my Chiefs at 5:40 later! Sunday is about to be one heck of a day. Really not looking forward to the below zero Fahrenheit <-- that word looks and sounds completely made up to me right now.

Oh, go chelsea win

Agree, unless we are three up why risk a banana skin and without Silva we will be less secure defensively.

Hey @Dubair why not introduce yourself on the Newbie thread, your who and when about CFC etc?

8 changes? I’d expect 2/3 at most

I expect Tuchel to agree with you. However with this and Barnsley coming up it gives him the chance to look at others and this is an ideal game for Gilmour and Anjorin.

Keep Jorginho & Kova in the middle, play one of Giroud or Tammy up top, give Chilwell another run at LWB (Alonso must be an injury risk playing 180 minutes in a week after playing none for months) and keep CHO, Reece and Mount on that right hand side. 

With 6 nations coming back I finally get to justify wasting a whole weekend getting pissed infront of the screen and thank god the matches dont clash

I am sensing a lot of worry already here. Maybe respect to the Blades for the results last season. They are deserving of respect certainly for their work ethic and passion however they are not the same side as last season.

While the blades are better than their position imo, and miles better than Fulham and WBA, they have been hit hard by the loss of O'Connel, Berge and Henderson.  (They are my dads team therefore my second team so have watched them a lot).

They are as hardworking as anyone but Ramsdale is not a patch on Henderson and O'Connell was their best defender last season. Those are big misses for a side like them, as is the fact McBurnie and Brewster are big money signings and their attack has been poor most of the season baring odd spurts from Sharp and McGoldrick.

If we do as we have been doing and match their work ethic we win, and can afford to make some changes and still do that. At home and in need of points they wont park the bus like Wolves and that space we can get at them.

You sound like a Gooner, the fa cup and all it’s tradition, the Premier League, FA and Sky tv, have done their up most to kill it, but still means lots to me, a day out at Wembley fantastic
