Look, I know the cup final is important but, if you've lost one of your kids, you should probably be focussing on that.
Don't, just don't...Poch to fuck us all over and play Paulinho behind Ade in the final.
Bit worrying that Eriksen hasn't scored or impacted on a game recently. Neither has Chadli, for obvious reasons. 2 of out top 3 goal scorers have become anonymous.

I understand the selection, but IMO that lineup would leave Rose horribly exposed to Hazard.Hugo Strange
Walker / Dier / Moody / Rose
South Park Goth / Bentaleb
Lamela or Townsend / Dembele / Eriksen
Kane
For me, the only real decision to be made is which 1/10 (as in how many chances they need before the pull something worthwhile off) player to pick out of Lamela and Townsend.
For me Lamela is far better than Townsend. He draws 2 or 3 players towards him constantly and often gets the pass away too. Townsend just loses possession far to often. I wouldn't mind Townsend coming on as a sub for him latter on in the game. Wembley is a massive pitch and he is an option if we play long and put the ball over their defence for him to run onto, which worked for him well with his England appearances last year.Hugo Strange

With this in mind, how about Davies, with Rose playing a bit further up? Nullify Hazard & keep Rose as a threat going forward. Move Mason out to the right of the three instead of Lamela/Townsend- Just a momentary thought. Tin hat at the ready.I understand the selection, but IMO that lineup would leave Rose horribly exposed to Hazard.
He's not in great form, but would rather have Chadli on the left. Possibly Townsend there.
...with Freidel in goal!Poch to fuck us all over and play Paulinho behind Ade in the final.
