Not only are we still in the competition with the field thinning out towards the business end of the campaign, but the manager also sees the match as another opportunity to give some game time to some of those around the squad who need it.
“It’s an important game for us,” said Mauricio. “If we want to go to the next stage of the FA Cup, we must win. The competition is so important for us and, of course, we want to go far, so it’s a great opportunity to have the replay.
“I’m happy because it’s a good opportunity, like I’ve said before, to use all the squad, for them to feel important and part of the project.
