Some fans are suggesting we should play a second team in our FA Cup 3rd round tie against Arsenal. This depresses me; if you don’t think a cup game at the Emirates is important then you have some mixed up priorities. Besides after beating United we have some real momentum now and beating Arsenal would be invaluable for our confidence.
After Spurs’ best performance of the season against Stoke the temptation would be to play an unchanged side against United. However with Paulinho’s injury (probably our best player in that game) this isn’t possible. Furthermore, it may be sensible to play a more cautious lineup away at the defending champions.
