Pep might take it seriously, loads still don't. Ipswich made 10 changes today.
I think he's taken the FA and Caraboa cups seriously. It sad other managers just see them as a distraction over finishing higher in the table.Pep has always taken the FA Cup (and league cup) seriously and played very strong sides, certainly after his first season. Yet I seem to recall that every other side used to play B teams in the cups, but gradually they have caught on and are all playing much stronger teams, like we do.
So not only has Pep given us the best football the Premier League has seen, not only has he changed the way everyone plays football, he has made the F A Cup a far better and more competitive tournament.
The Bald fucking Fraud strikes again
This is the correct answer. Our squad is competitive for 1st team places. There is not much drop off from 1st team player to substitute. Peps genius is the players are all interchangeable.The second string keepers have cost us in semi-finals against "b-teams".
He makes a decent amount of changes, just has a better 20 to pick from.
Made me LOL well playedBut does he have super big teeth?
That is something I've never understood. We used to do it ourselves back in the day playing a weakened side to save players for league games and plenty of clubs still play weakened sides for the same reason. Most fans don't just want the mediocrity of relegation, survival they want to see their club progress each round with a chance to dream of walking down Wembley Way.Fulham dropped their best players to the bench, most sides couldnt give a shit about the FA Cup
