That's sad.. I would much rather a draw than a loss any day of the week..This is the FA cup ffs.
Personally reckon we will dick Leicester in the Cup and League. The party is over for the crisp eating melons.
It's a lads mag for dyslexics
Bloody replay, Leicester are like that relative you fucking hate but have to keep seeing at pointless family gatherings.
I'd take it all day long over another 3rd Round exit.
Son was pretty funny trying to be a centre forward today. I know all the 4-3-3 arguments, but no. Really no. Buy a centre forward or don't, but please stop pretending we have players that can cover for Kane - we don't - this is obvious.

If Naughtons handball against West Ham was a pen then that one was a stonewaller and a red card and a life ban.
Surely the below team is good enough to win the game? An awful lot of changes, but some real quality on show.
Would be tempted to start Lamela and Dier too for Carroll and Mason.

Getting top four is not only about playing in the most exciting competition in the world next season, getting a shed load of extra revenue, keeping your best players, and attracting other top players...it also means less games next season, less long distance European travel, and less of a hangover on the weekend as you don't play Thu/Sat. All those factors mean you play better in the league and the FA cup when it comes round. It is one major reason why the likes of Woolwich have had success over many years. Pretending it doesn't matter would be foolhardy. It is totally logical to prioritise finishing top four over the FA cup (at this stage!)
Were we in a semi final or even the quarters you would have to reassess your priorities but at this stage in the competition it is worth putting out a weakened team that should still have enough to overcome Leicester.
And that's before you consider that we are only one quality player in Jan away from a real chance to win the league this year. Personally I'd love to win the FA cup but I'd love even more to win the league.
Edit: anyway, I trust Poch, so whatever he does is fine by me.

How many competitions are we going to bail out of at the first attempt? And how many fans would be happy with that? I'm not against rotation - we have a squad - use it.
Trippier is a great crosser of the ball.
Crouch at half time??

Ref gives the goalposts a yellow too!!!!!
