Part 1
Another year passes by and another year where people complain about FA Cup replays. For 2020, please welcome Nuno Espirito Santo to step up to the stand. After his Wolves side drew 0-0 with Manchester United, he said:
"If you ask me what is my preference, I would say straight to penalties.” He added that “the game would become more emotional, for sure. The FA Cup would be more emotional if it goes straight to penalties, as both teams would go for it."
