FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[St.Pauli support]

I don't get this resting players point in a match 6 days away from the final.
Players need to keep their form and 6 days preparation is about perfect.
Don't think there would be much resting.

Whoever we get in a semi, they will fight for the final.

Managing all that matches every 3-4 days will be incredibly tricky.
We will need every man, even Delph and Mahrez have to step up full power.

Incredible weeks ahead and we have the privilege to be right in there.

There might not be players rested/rotated, but a week before a cup final you won't see too many giving 100% and risking injury.

We have to be 6th as we play Spurs on the Tuesday night

I wouldn’t bet on it

Obviously Watford is the one to get. But I wouldn't be unduly shitting myself about facing either of the other two.

Surely Millwall.

As a coach I wouldn't want to have such a player.

If you have "please no injury" on your mind it is about to happen soon.

As a coach in any sport you'll inevitably be stuck with a lot of players like that.
Dead rubber league game or cup final?

Be interesting if the title comes down to the last game.

Thank's God we have Pep.

Surely Millwall.

I was thinking more of from the perspective of the fans going to the match. Going on purely "on the pitch" matters, then yeah; definitely Millwall (although I think Brighton will do them today).

Yeah we might be relying on Wolves needing a result to finish ahead of Watford in the last European spot, dippers might be relying on Brighton needing a result to stay up, but both games could end up being dead rubbers or a lower priority for those teams.
