@The only place to be,

I have said, our priority should be top 4, but i can't see us not making it simply because we had an fa cup run, especially when most of the fixtures are more conviently arranged than capital one games.

Say we get to the semi-final. That means pushing back the Spurs home game to possibly after an away trip to Liverpool, or after a home game to Swansea or maybe even to before or after games against Man United (away), Aston Villa (fighting for survival) or Everton (pushing for top four possibly).

That's if we don't progress in the Europa League, and today demonstrated that we simply can't rest Mata who already looks like he's ready for flip-flops and a beach.

So what do you suggest? Purposely getting knocked out of the europa and Fa cup to hope we can increase our chances of getting top 4?

Putting out the reserves. Saville, Feruz, Lalkovic, Swifty, Marin, Ferreira, Bertrand etc.

Having seen the performance today, could it be much worse?

I think today was an exception to the rule, but i agree, we should play more reserves than we do in the early rounds if the opposition permits it. But when we get harder opposition in the quarters and semi's we should be playing our best team to try and win the FA cup...
