Knew exactly what would happen after seeing the line up, so sick of teams, including us, making needless changes for cup games. The EFL and FA need to look in to setting fines or limits on squad changes and any teams that don't like it can withdraw or be thrown out

The FA aren`t arsed one bit mate, it`s the Champions League or nothing.
 

Let me put something straight here....

Fringe players do not need game time. They need their game limited to an absolute minimum because they are so far short of the required standard it's frightening.

If Silva rests in the FA Cup he needs shown the door before kick off.

Silva took a huge & unnecessary risk with that line up....

Lacked goals which stood out like a sore thumb....
 
We conceded another cheap goal. Why are we backing off when they are coming at us in the final third? Kenny backed off, Schneiderlin reacted too late.

The amount of times Schneiderlin had the ball at his feet with space to run into and he decided to pass sideways. That type of football needs knocking on the head. First half we desperately needed a decent striker and second half we needed to be more ruthless and pressed harder.
 
I agree with Marco trying out other squad players. They would've been told that they will get their chance to impress. How else will he determine their development other than perhaps long term injuries to first team players. He needs to see them competing. It's a squad game and unfair to not ever give them game time. The other thing is this Carabou Cup has no decent reputation anywhere anymore. It's not taken seriously at all. Our manager is learning who he can trust and in what positions they can adapt to. Give him time. We will have a great cup run I'm sure. Chill. Onwards and upwards, the battle for 7th (or is it 8th) continues. COYB.

Then the EFL need to grow a pair and tell Prem clubs play a strong team or don't bother entering, there are clubs in the National League, some ex League clubs, who would kill for a shot at that cup when most top flight teams just can't be bothered
 
What happened to play your best side ??...am I too old school to think that. Even down to our goalie Pickford who might have given us a chance instead of Stekelenburg? Are our goalies tired/over saving shots ?

I couldn`t agree more mate and it`d be much more exciting too.

The FA cup has gone the same way, completely devalued by the Champions League.

Yes, and all the more reason to win it. If they're not considered first squad players, then the best way to change it is a long Cup run. Opportunity missed.
