Chelsea doing the double over us when they were utter dross. Gave Potter one of his very few wins as well. I'm massively of the opinion it should be a sackable offence to lose to a team with less men on the field especially when Gallagher got sent off in the 28th minute. If you think about if that was us, we'd lose the game 3 or 4-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 13 March Share Posted 13 March If Chelsea lose this, it could have quite massive consequences for them, especially Pochettino. They're at their lowest ebb as a club for many years.. Think most of the football community want a LCFC win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 13 March Share Posted 13 March Just posted this to keep our relevant business…top priority talking point… Other off field crap is there…but I have stopped wanting to take interest… As a fan my priority is the game against Chelsea…. Then…Bristol City… FFP has to sort itself out… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how every match we play regardless, should be approached, completely agree with everything you've said, and sets an excellent tone throughout the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_lcfc Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March They should hammer us really. Hoping for a bit of cup magic though - Could be a bit of a catalyst for the rest of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be high scoring though, could see a 3-2 or 3-3 going to ET easily. Both defences aren't exactly sound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Leeds gave them a game at their place last month - Middlesborough on the other hand, did not! Chelsea were the better team in the cup final recently as well, but still lost. Never know what you're going to get from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March I think a team selection somewhere between our league normal 11 and Bournemouth is the way to go. Agreed that those not playing internationals should probably start. Give some game time to the likes of Coady and Doyle. One we're expected to lose but can give them a scare and maybe catch them on an off day. And if you want a league benefit then there's the confidence factor but also that it would properly **** up the game scheduling for Saints.

Vazman Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March I'm expecting to lose, so if we win it will be a pleasant, unexpected, (but a Leicester thing to do suprise), that would be very welcome at the moment, considering our last few matches haven't been great.

Never know what you're going to get from them. As with most Premiership teams they have individuals that can turn a match in an instant despite being a shambolic club all season. Would play the majority of the side that earned us this tie at Bournemouth. Match is a free shot, just avoid a heavy defeat which allows the notion we are imploding at the sharp end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we are going up against Man City or Liverpool. It's a mid table PL team, barely better than the Bournemouth team we've already beaten. Why not go for it? This is a chance to do something special. Push the chips all in. Edited 14 March by Detroit Blues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 15 March Share Posted 15 March Stolarczyk Nelson Coady Doyle Hamza Raikhy Albrighton Yunus Marcel Abdul Cannon. Cant afford to lose any key players, those who want us to go full strength need to just have a sit down and think about the potential fatal consequences of not getting promotion. This needs to be our complete priority, our position is perilous and it’s extremely concerning that some fans are genuinely wanting us to go for this… the FA cup isn’t going anywhere, it will still be there next season and the season after that, this is not the time to be nostalgic and fall for the love of the cup, likelihood is we’re not going to win anyway, we could well end up coming off the top of the table this weekend too , which will further increase the pressure on us going into the final game of the season. Take no risks, get through the game without losing any players and then forget about it. We’ve got 9 cup finals coming up anyway, and we need absolutely everything to throw at those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep reading this but is our perceived strongest team actually our best team right now given we've been struggling when they've played and their record against better sides is suspect. Our fringe team perhaps don't have the same issues with form and mentality but it's probably coincidence. I'd go somewhere between the two, there's definite players who need dropping.

harpendenfox Posted 15 March Share Posted 15 March The only real issue is do you play Winks and KDH? They are our most important players, neither has an adequate replacement, but they both appear jaded of late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
