We can’t afford to make too many changes. We are at home a top 6 side supposedly, should be aiming to win competitions so why should we let Burnley come to our gaff and win. A defeat would at home to Burnley bottom 3 side is unthinkable and there is no exscuse Ange could make for a loss due to team selection. They will make changes but we should go strong as possible to start. Same back 4, Vic in goal, Bent/PEH, kulu / Skipp, Gio with rich , bj and Gil. Be unforgivable to lose this one with a full house. We can’t just keep binning these competitions.

May be but the whole 11 need help in stopping the oppo attacking. If he could press better, keep the ball better, pass better and help out when we don’t have the ball then it would help towards controlling games better.
Why the defeatist attitude that we will never win the cup. If that is the attitude why bother. We have an expensively assembled squad that should be able to cope with another game. I don’t want to hear afterwards if we lose and made loads of changes Ange saying the side was good enough to win. If that is the case then any players who he brings in like the academy players why arnt they been given minutes in the PL? If he prefers to bring on dier ahead of Philips or dorrington when 3 up then he cannot then start them v Burnley.
As I said, he's just back from injury, in a new team, and learning under Ange.
Porro wasn't this Porro last season was he?
Give the kid time.
Same to you mate
Difficult comparing anyone with Greavsie but as long as Richi knocks them in on a regular basis I don’t care
I take your point about the money spent and £100 million for him Johnson seems excessive!
Great. If that's not a perfect storm for us to get fucked by "the authorities" then I'm a monkeys uncle.

May be let’s see but Porto came from Spain but BJ has played full season in PL plus in champo so use to English football conditions.
Finally managed to feel well enough to go to a match. Had to miss Everton and Brighton because of lergy. Got absolutely drenched, exhausted when got home, slept through New Year.
GLC - another v good performance. Since he's come back into the reckoning he's in the main been outstanding (silly pen at 0-3 notwithstanding). Without him I'd say we'd be half a dozen points down. We'd have no outball, no one able to see the next pass. Had several arguments with people here saying "Get rid, he's no good even if fit". Maybe they'll shut it now.
Royal and Davies another immense game in defence out of their normal positions. The latter's block popped the ball onto the bar saving a pretty certain goal. Udogie another great game, Porro less so with us looking v vulnerable down our right.
Sonny? lovely goal and a great would be assist, but otherwise pretty patchy.
Haven't been around to check the news on Veliz. Rotten luck. Ditto Sarr. Couldn't see how we'd win with Skipp and then PEH in MF. Couldn't believe his choice of a through ball to the crocked Veliz when Sonny was running though on his left.
Glad to see Richi getting another goal (great ball from Royal, great cross Johnson). He'd missed a chance earlier on. He's a confidence player and couldn't see the point of taking him off immediately after scoring. Could have got another on the break by the end surely with AFCB pushing up like crazy.
No such thing as a dull game with Ange Ball. Last season we hardly had anything that counted as entertainment.
Fingers X'ed we hang in there till the end of Jan with players coming back from injury and hopefully another CB bought. Let's bet Burnley and hope for a kind draw next round. Let's give the FA cup a real go and fuck Levy.

I'd expect Burnley to pick a team of reserves. They can't afford a cup run.
Yep I would as he didn't have control of the game and it got worse after the subs. We conceded after the subs and nearly conceded more.
Bentancur was the only sub that had to be made. Maybe one or two more but not five.
Heard a Fulham fan on Talksport at the weekend say "Fulhamish"
They have their own version of Spursy lol.
Totally agree, the other points re all this daft talk of "resting" players is that we have only three games in Jan, and during Jan we will get back Romero, VdV, Solomon, and Madders.
The rats in the loft were quiet last night. I expect the Gooner rats in the office will be equally quiet this week
Try this!

those changes are now our first team
That's funny but only 4 of the players who started the Carabao Cup game started against Bournemouth.
Just being realistic here, we aren't man City standard. This is how some are contented with where the club is.
We may not win all game but we put in a fight and give you opportunity. It's no point wanting to sign mbappe and Messi and build your fantasy football.
We need an identity where any young star plays w our DNA.
90 minutes. 7 minutes injury time the first half, 9 in the second plus a couple more slightly over.
Almost 120 minutes of football, with players that have played a LOT of games and are fucked. I wonder why he had to make subs.
Nah, keep them all on...
Thanks, I’m sure it’s really good, but I couldn’t bring myself to watch it!
