Biggest game of the season since the last one and before the next one and subsequent games. COYS!

Should be enough to get through. With Dele probably not 100% it's basically our first choice 9 out of 10 outfield players, not sure why Poch took a risk and didn't just go 10 unless Dembele isn't fit enough.
Looking forward to seeing Lucas again.

Fabianski? So was I.

Because it makes it seems I'm having a pop at sissoko and it upsets people so they feel the need to neg rep. I personally couldn't give a fuck about neg reps.

My point was I would have preferred dembele.

Ask any footy fan who would you play in any game, let alone a FA Cup QF, Dembele or Sissoko? We all know the answer but somehow Sissoko starts and Dembele is on the bench. I love Poch but this better not backfire. It’s a QF ffs.

If it does backfire it won't be because of sissoko, unless he scores 5 own goals and then gets sent off for drop kicking the ref in the face after the 5th goes in.

We should still have enough to win with our lineup overall, but would have preffered demebele as he is playing well at the moment.

Not happy with Sissoko starting but Poch is the guvnor.

Just another thing, can somebody remind me what division Swansea play in? From what I’ve seen here on this show and the way BT are putting it across, are they even in the football league? I could have swore that they are in the Prem but the way this lot are banging on it sounds like we are taken on part timers today?

No replays in the QF Gaz.

Sh*t, I didn't realise that. My expectation here was a poor performance and hopefully scrape a draw. Now I am expecting a poor performance and we need to scrape a win!!!

Building it up in case there's a 'shock' that's all. They do it all the time.

I can actually understand Sissoko's selection in this line-up. Moura, Lamela, Eriksen, and Dembele if he was in, will all want the ball to feet and come towards the play. Without Alli you miss someone getting up in support. Sissoko on paper adds another option to make runs and get ahead of the ball.

Whether he translates theory into coherent practice......

If the pundits are to be believed Swansea have won 7 in a row at home. This won’t be a pushover No, Sissoko won’t lose us the game but Dembele might win it for us. I hope you’re right but resting players in a QF when you have two weeks off is ridiculous.
