I get that, it's going to be a tough few weeks but I don't believe he will intentionally sack it off.The fixture schedule and the importance of the other matches soon to come. Hope I’m wrong, a trophy is a trophy!
He'll pick a team he believes is good enough to win the game but having to utilise his squad in order to give the team the best chance of winning the next couple as well.
It's a delicate balancing act.

I fear that we will have a similar team to last weekend starting.
Yes exactly. He’s a great manager but ....I fear that we will have a similar team to last weekend starting.

Unfortunately i fear you are right , we will be solid at the back but our creativity is hampered with KDB,Phil,Gundo and Bernardo sat in the stands , if we dont make any daft defensive mistakes we might nick it 1-0 or maybe go to penalties.I fear that we will have a similar team to last weekend starting.
Don't keep us hanging, the suspense is killing me.Yes exactly. He’s a great manager but ....

If we do lose please make sure it's not one of those 35 shots on goal v Spurs 1 shot on goal.

Some very strange reactions. We played brilliantly against United to get here. We really played them off the park. Did we do all that, to now lose this one match and a trophy with it? All in the name of maybe winning a semi-final? And then there's the final to be played. Maybe winning that? So no guarantees whatsoever.
I will never, ever be blasé about being in the final of a cup competition at Wembley. I was too young for ’69. I had just got back from a year on the road in distant lands in ’76, and didn't have a pot to piss in. I was at Wembley in ’81. Then the long, long wait. I have been lucky enough to be at Wembley in more recent times, to see us win against Arsenal and Watford.
If we turn up and play today, threaten them, create chances, maybe hit the woodwork once or twice, and lose, it'll hurt, but I'll accept it. But if it's that snoozefest, that nothing event where there appeared to be eleven zombies on the pitch, like the Chelsea match, I'll be outraged.

id be fine if that’s the case because we went for it and not our day. Much prefer that type of defeat to last week when you can count the number of shot attempts on one hand.

That's a fair comment.You won't get an argument from me there. '81, the late Gabby winner chalked off by VAR and the last minute Raz goal in the CL game. I really can't stand them; they're up (down?) there with utd, L***s and Liverpool, in my opinion. I was simply prioritising the next 3 games.
