Do we stick with Pants for the Semi & Final?

[BluePurgatory]

0 goals conceded in 4 FA cup games for Pantilimon, barely tested I know but looks solid enough.

Should Bobby stick with him for the semi/possible final OR recall Joe?

Could we win the cup without conceding a goal to!

Edit:
IF we go on to win the cup WITHOUT conceding a goal we will be the 1st team since BURY in the 1902-03 FA Cup to acheive this rare feat.

This is gonna be a difficult one, Mancini will be dammed if he does and dammed if he doesnt. My Heart says yes but now I know who we have my head says he has to play his strongest squad. Do we play Kolo instead of Kompany etc etc.

No i'm sorry but we have to start with our best 11, this is a semi final of the FA Cup and the winners of this game go into the final as favourites with an a better than average chance of winning the cup and no way do want to take any chances of anyone freezing on the day. Hart's played there countless times and will take this game in his stride.

Pantillimon hasn't done anything to deserve being dropped but sentimentality does not come into it. This is our club and we should want the best for it and to win as many trophies as possible and not to use it as a plaything to bring players on and feel sorry for them. Costel will know this is the business end and it's a harsh fact of life but thats the world he plys his trade in and is well paid to know what to expect.

Best 11 and if we happen to get to the final and be well ahead bring him on for the last 20mins to feel the experience of a major cup final.

Play Joe in the Semi and Pants in the final where he should have little to do again.

Pants is the FA cup keeper. He should play unless injured.

Joe didn't cover himself in glory in the CL so no reason he should step in in the FA cup.

Hold on, Pants nearly saved that Rooney penalty and wasn't at fault for any of their goals last season and has made one cock up all season, against Chelski. So he's shown he is a good keeper and not far of Hart.

As they say....it's a nice problem for Mancini to have.

Short memories and that
I also like to see how we can compare Barnsley to Dortmund, Leeds to Real Madrid and Watford to Ajax

I have confidence in both our keepers. If Joe does get left out it might be because he seemed to put a shampoo advert before our title challenge.

Either that or Pants' recent performances have been Heads and Shoulders above Joe's.
