Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 ok resting hazard means we are basically surrendering this tie and going all out for the league, interesting tactic by Conte. I hope we are not choking big time now. I wonder if Tottenham will rest anyone. As for us, we are not gonna score much without hazard. however it might also give us freedom as our play is pretty much dependant on him as well as confounding any man marking tactics by them. I still tink it pretty clear that we will most definitely lose without him.As for Costa or Bats, I think both are pretty much useless bc of lack of form and rhythm.

But assuming that's true, does that mean that Mitchy starts? Yep, just saw Matt Law tweet Michy will start. Seems like Conte will place utmost priority in the League and treat the FA Cup as a bonus. Which is actually kinda fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, new theory: Conte actually hates cups which is why he has never won one as a manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,907 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Now seeing that JT may start as well. Truly a 2nd team here possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 So the rumors are true.... ...and suddenly the pressure is off of us and all onto Spurs! I've no idea how much a part of Conte's think that was, but I have a feeling it could work in our favor here like it did for utd last weekend.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow, that's disappointing from Conte. WTF is he thinking?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Ballsy call for sure. Could backfire on Conte. But fair play to him particularly for the demotion of Costa. Many of our past managers would have just stuck with him for this huge game because of his previous performances and ignore current poor form. Buzzing for Nathan Ake too, make a name for yourself in the mighty blue of Chelsea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Demotion of Costa? Are you guys mental? That's not a demotion, he's "resting" him. Tuesday vs Southampton more important! How else could Hazard be on the bench? Seriously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 No Fabregas? Our midfield will be overrun the third time in a row by Spurs. He would provide some vital passing for our front three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The interest level I had for this game just took a massive nosedive. Evidently, Conte doesn't think too much of the FA Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tautvix 1,321 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The question is. If we are resting players even if we don't play in CL how are we gonna cope next season? There's no need to rest Hazard. Happy to see Costa benched tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
