Re: FA CUP 2017/18
Great ...... all the previews (both clubs) seemed to think Chelski would make loads of changes with possibly 2 kids starting and Newcastle would go full strength to try and get the result ......
So Chelski play just about their stronegest available team Kante Hazard, Christianson, Cahill, Alonso Rudiger etc and Newcastle bring in all their squad players inc Haidara (cant remember the last time he played) and Saivet who has started a grand total of ONE game in the last 2 years.
If that doesn't say I'm not confident of doing any team strengthening this week so we don't want the FA cup fixtures disrupting our survival fight I don't know what does

No friggin Cockney mafia ere mate
Didn't think the reserves played too badly ..... Haidara showed he hadn't played for 2 years. A few bad touches/missjudging bounces/late tackles etc which was to be expected and Gayle/Ritchie are both so far out of form they'd struggle to give the Everton defense any problems

Re: FA CUP 2017/18
Funny ......... haven't heard anyone complaining that the manager of Channel 7 Television is not taking the FA Cup seriously
Lets show Chelsea Reserves v Hull, Man Utd reserves v Huddersfield Reserves (Wagner cant risk too many first teamers with the relegation dogfight in full swing) and Rochdale v Spurs Reserves
Not one "prime time" match even though Sheff Wed v Swansea has all the ingredients for a cup Giant killing and Brighton v ex winners Coventry has the "magic of the cup" fairytale script with the last time they met Coventry being the top level team against a third division Brighton

Re: FA CUP 2017/18
Rochdale v Spurs.
Just to stick out my neck again, ( I never learn ), I would like to see Pochettino relegate Kane, Eriksen, Lloris, Vertonghen & Dembele to the bench, for a well earned rest, and include Trippier, Alderweireld, Rose, Winks, Son & Moura, among the starting eleven, against Rochdale. The big guns can always be brought on, should Rochdale ,( or the pitch! ), be causing Spurs problems.

Re: FA CUP 2017/18
Strewth Mat ...... Lloris needing a break? Come on, all he does is stand and watch the others most of the game.
Even the "give the back up goalie a few minutes" holds no water as after the game he will be back on the bench and just as "rusty" again after 10 days.
Kane, Ali, Eriksen Vertonghen, I agree 100%, but Dembele has played nowhere near enough this season (1300 mins out of 2430 in Prem inc only 7 times a full 90 mins) to need "resting"

Re: FA CUP 2017/18
A prime example Statts, where you devoted statisticians, with your bare bones statistics, do not properly reflect the situation . In quick succession, Spurs played Utd, Arsenal & Juventus in, what could prove to be, three of the club's season changing fixtures. Coincidentally, Dembele produced MOM performances in each of those games, whilst running himself into the ground. Taking into account the very point you make, regarding his lack of game time, it would be remarkable was he not both physically and emotionally drained after such a prodigious effort. I think to give him a recovery period of a week, before the return leg against Juventus, makes sense.stattointhailand wrote: ↑February 17, 2018, 2:48 pmStrewth Mat ......

Actually, I didn't suggest Ali be rested against Rochdale; neither, you will note, is he included in my suggested Spurs line up for the second leg against Juventus Make of that, what you will
