We don't normally concede 5 at home do we? Leicester beat us 5:2, seems ages ago that but it was last season wasn't it?
Happened a few times at Maine Road, Leeds in the FA Cup and Arsenal (2002?)and Liverpool (early 80s) put 5 past us. Those 3 teams were a lot better than us at the time ofcourse.
Although I'm one of the FOCs who still think we'll draw when we're 4:0 up with 10 mins to go (it never leaves you!) Going out tonight would take some doing!!
Lot 5-2 to Everton in 1993, declaration defending.
 
It would be nice to see McAtee and Delap both get 30 minutes or so. Hopefully it won’t be one of those games where the first team don’t give a shit and we’re 2-0 down so Pep won’t risk bringing any kids on, like the Leipzig dead rubber.

It won't happen, but the best way to avoid one of those games with the players going through the motions is put one or two hungry kids in. It won't happen, but Pep did it with Foden in the Spurs league match after the Spurs Champs league defeat. He said in the post match that he wanted Foden to inject some unadulterated hunger after the harsh defeat.

Obviously Delap and Mcatee are no where near where Foden was at that point. But if you want to avoid malaise, that's what I'd do.
 
Gone off these 8pm games now i sleep early , have to hope we get a few ahead then i can sleep easy and not get a shock in the morning !
