What about the 70 year olds?For the love of fuck, just get it done so all us 50 years old+ Blues can fucking well relax.
Because they all have to be televisedWhy are we playing this on friday evening? I'm aware the cup final is taking place the following day, but there's 3 other PL games taking place on the saturday.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that.Because they all have to be televised
Proper smart i amGood point. Hadn't thought of that.
Did you leave a word out of the middle there?Proper smart i am
Ha, yesDid you leave a word out of the middle there?
I agree with this. Also we only had one in midfield yesterday. We'll only one midfield player.But the backups played as an 11 effectively. It's wholesale changes. There's a huge sense of unfamiliarity about that. Stick a few of them in with the first team and they wouldn't look out of place. For example, Cancelo, Fernandinho, and Laporte are backup guys that bed in perfectly with the strongest XI.
True.Not really. There is no guarantee that we would have won the game even with our first 11.
Zinchenko, Bernardo? Starters or "back up". Glad you didn't include the Derby defeat either. Speaking of "back up" guys, that's the last thing Fernandinho is.Really?
Leeds had 1 outfield starter playing in their starting position (Stones)
Chelsea in the cup had 3 (Dias, Rodri, De Bruyne)
Chelsea yesterday had 2 (Dias, Rodri)
That would tell me for all three games, most of the team was changed from the usual.
Show me all the losses where we've played our strongest team with the exception of 2 or 3 backups then.
PSG was an example of us playing our strongest team but with one backup player (Fernandinho) and we won playing excellently. It works
