4 games and yes it will make a huge difference in January for a start. It also means we have 4 weeks with no midweek games. That means that Pep can actually prepare for the important stuff of the league and have players fresh and train accordingly.I presume by 'doing without all those cup games' we mean 3 more games stretched over the next 4 months? Huge undertaking for a professional sports team. It's the easiest cup to win.
Yet they were two of the best performers with Garcia and Maffeo.I feared the worst when I saw the line up. Whenever we have Fernando and Navas in the same starting eleven I pretty much write off a result
You do realise the players can't play every game flat out?This. Every cup and every game. Especially against those fuckers.
That'll be good then winning all our games in January's a certainty.4 games and yes it will make a huge difference in January for a start. It also means we have 4 weeks with no midweek games.

CorrectThe game on Saturday is far more important than any league cup match, no matter who it was against. Some right moaning twats on here.
Honestly, the worriers on here are unbelievable. Firstly there was no way we could field a full strength team last night, just not possible with 2 games a week being played at the moment.
Secondly, Maffeo! our academy RB just schooled Paul Pogba for 90 minutes last night!! and Garcia played with the composure of someone that had been playing senior football for years.
We are top of the league, we are in the champions league, and we are in the FA cup. Theres no need to panic and there is so much to be optimistic about
I think we need to be realistic and accept it was probably for the best that players like dinho, sterling, Silva got a rest. Doesn't mean we have to enjoy the defeat or sit happy clapping like many are suggesting, just accept its part of a bigger plan.You do realise the players can't play every game flat out?
Have you seen our running stats compared with previous years?
Wipe your fanny.Ok then the same question but Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea etc, same principle but we just happend to be playing them last night so that was why I asked the question about them, simple enough concept? So no it wasn't who we played at all, don't try to guess what my problem was please as you don't know. It was OUR cup to defend like I have said in other posts.
Why?We've not won in 6 games, we've every right to be concerned.
