Keeper for Semi?

[DoomMerchant]

if our decision of goalie decides the game then we've fucked up bigtime.

cheers

Without doubt Joe Hart.

Pantillimon has done a great job in the FA Cup this season but this is a semi-final against one of the best teams in the country and we need our best goalkeeper and Hart is that.

Play Hart in the semi and then hand the gloves to Panti for the final against Wigan or Millwall ... and everyone's happy!!

[dazby]

I'd stick with Pantillimon but I reckon Mancini will go with Hart.

Yep.

[DoomMerchant]

When I get a semi almost any girl's a keeper.

FACT.

[BlueinBosnia]

how many goals has pants conceded in the cup so far?

We're on target to be the first team since Bury (I think - season before we first won) to win the FA Cup without conceding a goal.

I want us to win 2-0, then win the final 3-0 in a shootout after a 0-0 draw (or vice-versa for those results). What a statistic that would be.

Have we played anyone worth a shit?

Stoke away.

But, our results would be 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0.

When Socrates once creamed himself on walking out on a Fibonacci number, that's gotta be worth something...

[ant london]

I'd play Panti...mainly as Joe has been gash this season. Costel will play his arse off whereas Joe may (again) be half-arsed

I really would too. Why tempt fate and fuck with things?

They also had the highest ever score in a final that year (6.0), which we should be looking at as something we could possibly match given the likely quality of the opposition in the final if we get there.

Go with Panti, he's earned it. Joe needs a kick up his ass to regain some motivation. Costi has done 0 wrong and been solid in the cup.

Joe is coasting a bit this season and he needs to pick it up, we don't want him turning into another Paul Robinson!

[Nige]

The cup is our only glimmer of success this season. Mancini and his growing bunch of minions need to play our strongest 11 and that means no Panti, number 13 or Dzeko'.

Even in his worst moments joe is still twice he keep Panti is. Harsh but true. A cup semi is not the place to show joe he needs to step up. It's only us fans that will suffer if it goes pear shaped with Panti.

[lets all have a disco]

[Avalon]

Costel for me. He's been doing a good job so far and I think he earned a chance to really prove himself.

I seem to remember him being a bit dodgy in the shield match.

Not the worst idea.

[Goaters 103]

If we are serious about trying to win the Cup, Hart has to play. You play your best team, and he is our best keeper.

We are not here to be nice to people, but rather to win things.

[littlebig]

Tough one, Panti has been solid for us in the cup regardless of the quality of the opposition. Joe has been erratic this season.

I'd go with Panti
