I couldn't be less arsed about the FA Cup.
We need to focus solely on the league now.

Really . I hope the team and management don't think like you. Jesus wept.

No No No

Back to back domestic doubles and four PL titles on the run will mean it would be one of the most remarkable club achievements in history!!!!

Chavs aren’t all that…….I’m sure whoever Pep plays will be well up for it and will win. CTID

OK maybe I was a bit OTT, but all the league games are far more important moving forward.

They are but we're a big team and until last night we were in everything and going for everything. Let's not throw away another trophy.

I think they'll be at least 6 changes to the team that started last night(not finished) Stones, Bobb, Kovicic, Rico, Ake and Doku. Maybe even Nunez. The thing that worries me is although the names mentioned are more than adequate, it's when we make wholesale changes in these games we struggle. I very much doubt Kev, Haaland or Walker will start and he might even play Ortega. You never know with Pep, but some of them players last night were knackered.

I think he'll go pretty strong recovery dependent, we've threw away a couple semi's before due to rotation (Chelsea & Liverpool)

We got lucky last year when drawing Sheff Utd though, enabled us to rest Rodri and a few others IIRC.

Who has not thrown away a couple of semis :-)

It’s been a long season and those non England games didn’t help our players……proud as fuck with this club

 

[SWPISHOME]

Have Chelsea got any injuries for this one?
