Cup-tying players is your concern? I'd feel much safer with Azpi at RB and Bertrand at LB....with Kalas coming off the bench for a 25-30 minute cameo...

I'm not worried about cup-tying them, but it hurts their value if they are. Really we're probably only talking about Bertrand in that regard and he hasn't been fancied by Jose for much of the season. I'd rather see Azpi at left-back and Kalas at right-back simply because Kalas has a future at this club.

We can't underestimate them. Even if that smarmy dodgy car-dealer lookalike berk who cost England a place at Euro 2008 is in charge. They are in with a very good shout of promotion.

I'd give a few players a rest (although we don't have a midweek game this coming week) and bring in a few, but not play so few first teamers that we look vulnerable.

Schwarzer

Kalas Luiz Terry Cole

Essien Mikel

Willian Oscar De Bruyne

Eto'o

Subs: Cech, Ake, Schurrle, Cahill, Ramires, Torres, Clifford

all these youth im seeing is not a good idea, they are flying high atm in the Championship, so us coming to them is only going to get them buzzing even more.

Aussie, Dave, DL, Cahill, Cole, Rambo, Essien, Schurrle, Mata, KDB, Torres

After a long time, players will have a whole week to rest after this game. So I expect a pretty strong lineup. But I hope that Hazard is on the bench at most, he started in our last 4 matches.

Derby are a handy enough side and we will not want to take them too lightly as we need to win this one .I wouldn't tweak our team too much as too many changes don't benefit the team in my opinion. Plus we will have had a full weeks rest which should be enough for any professional player.

My Team

The Aussie

Aspi Cahill Luiz Cole

Ramires Mikel

Schurrle Mata Willian

Eto'o

JT could do with a break so trying this partnership could be a possibility.

Dont think he'll play Essien or De Bruyne as rumours are they are on the way out. But hey! What the f@ck do I know :cry:

Surely the 4 up front should be Schurrle, KDB and Mata any order with Ba up front. Anything else would be stupid.

We do have a week off between this game and the next....playing the 'first choice' of Willian, Oscar and Hazard gives them another proper match to build that chemistry. The first priority needs to be to get a win.

Play the youngsters. I'd love to see someone like Boga or RLC get a game here.

Like to see them on the bench, but Derby aren't going to be a pushover.

Yesterday, you wanted to play Traore, Kalas..today, you want the best to play ? lol.

One thing I agree, one week between the games, just hammer them, by half, then rest the boys.

People are living a fantasy world if they expect to see the likes of Ake and RLC or any other youth players in the team. The FA Cup is a big trophy and Mourinho won't be playing any youth players for sure. It is a trophy he wants to win. That has always been the policy here.
