"I see Martin Samuel has written an article demanding Moyes starts Fabianski over Areola in the semi. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10729609/MARTIN-SAMUEL-Pick-best-goalkeeper-games-really-matter.html I was quite surprised to read this as I hadn’t even remotely considered Areola a weakness and actually think he suits European competition very well. Do you any of you agree with Martin Samuel? For what it’s worth, in my opinion Areola has earned the right to be there and more than deserves his place in the team."

Trust in Moyes. (And Areola in the European games.)

"Areola will of course start. Moyes isn't a cսnt. Unless we get Pope, he's got a tough choice next season though."

I think we're going to need both in goal at this rate of injuries.

Areola hasn't let the side down so why change it. If anything he commands the box better than Fab plus his distribution is much better than Fabianski.

"I agree, you play your best payers in every position."

I partly agree with Samuel that w should pick out best goalkeeper. I just disagree as to who he thinks that is.

"Manuel 12:21 Tue Apr 19 Re: Fabianski v Areola Semi Final I like Samuel, but I won't be reading this piece, and would stick with Areloa, which Moyes will do anyway."

"If we win Europa league, Areolas save at home in the first half vs Seville to keep it 0-1 on aggregate will be the defining moment for me. He plays no question."

"If Frankfurt play by constantly pumping crosses into the box, then I'd want Fabianski. Otherwise no reason to change for all the reasons already mentioned. It's harsh on Fabianski, but that was obviously the deal at the start of the season. Same as Guardiola clearly had to start that clown against Liverpool at the weekend who probably cost them the cup final opportunity."

Not sure what kind of fuckwit would change it at this stage? Areola has been decent. Keep him in.

I think Randolph deserves a chance honestly.

I'm sure there was an agreement at the start of season that Fab plays the league games and Areola the cop ones unless of injury or complete lack of form. Go back on that now and not only does it piss off Areola but sends out a horrendous message about trust and honesty from the management to players.

"I demand that fat cսnt stops eating meat pies, Areola stays in goal for the remainder of the cup run"

"I like Samuel, but I won't be reading this piece, and would stick with Areloa, which Moyes will do anyway."

"I'd start Fab personally. However, wouldn't be that upset with Areloa."

reading that article just leads me to believe that Martin Samuel hasn't seen a great deal of Areola's performances this season.
