2 man midfield
Last Man Standing finalist 2021/22
If there are young players ready then this is the time to introduce them. What Rashford has done this past 12 months will not go unnoticed, so you can bet your left nut they'll be up for it.
Not such a big squad right now attacking wise if we play 4-2-3-1. We don't even have enough substitutes for every position (I'm not counting Young as a winger anymore).We have a big squad, and can feesibly deploy a whole second team that is pretty decent on paper. For that reason - with a bit of mixing involved - we should be able to remain competitive on all fronts. It just falls on Jose to manage his squad properly.
games after EL cup, coming always on SundayEL quarter final first leg and then play Chelsea with only a day in between, that is madness. If we make the EL quarter final and the first leg is away that is going to be extremely difficult to deal with for the players.
impossible, if we advanced in the quarter final of the f.a. Cup, the game vs Sounthampton will be postponedThree games in four days, has this ever happened before?
Seems completely insane and can only have a detrimental impact on our performances.
Want to stay in all comps but at the same time don't see how that is possible under the circumstances. Would be an incredible feat by the squad if they succeed.
Surely the FA is going to have to consider extending the season by a couple of weeks to account for this?

Come on guys.only issue I see is the squad size
with Memphis and Schneiderlein away we actually have a small squad
Club world cup as well.In 2012/2013 Chelsea finished 3rd, made it to the semi-finals of the League Cup, semi-finals of the FA Cup (which included two replays), and won the Europa League.
They also had to play the Super Cup final that season due to winning the CL the season prior.
Oh yeah, forgot those games.Club world cup as well.
Am I right in thinking the most we could play is 66 this year?Oh yeah, forgot those games.
In all they played 69 games that season.
Yeah that's correct.Am I right in thinking the most we could play is 66 this year?
When is the next international break?Feels like old times.
I just wish we didn't have the international break. So pointless this time of season.
End of MarchWhen is the next international break?
It is utterly pointless and complete bullshit, I agree.
Could be wrong but we don't get top seed for winning the EL?Barring any injury crises we easily have the team to be able to fight on all fronts.
My biggest concern is the next round of the Europa (assuming we get there), as those games are before and after the Chelsea game.
If we get a team which is quite easy on paper, I'll have more confidence of us progressing past Chelsea. Right now though with the Chelsea clash and number of big teams still in the FA cup I'd personally make it our lowest priority. I want us to win the Europa and be a top seed in the CL next season.
Chelsea will play a full strength team because they have so few games in comparison to us. Winning the FA cup this year is a very tall order.
I believe you're correct. EL winner would be an automatically pot 2 if they can't qualifying for pot 1 (winning their league).Could be wrong but we don't get top seed for winning the EL?
It's the winner of each league plus the holders of the CL
Looking back, that's actually rather impressive. Benitez is a very underrated manager.In 2012/2013 Chelsea finished 3rd, made it to the semi-finals of the League Cup, semi-finals of the FA Cup (which included two replays), and won the Europa League.
They also had to play the Super Cup final that season due to winning the CL the season prior.
People say this all the time, but its the World Cup qualifiers! I don't understand how the biggest and most prestigious football tournament in the world is considered pointless and bullshit. If it's just international friendlies, then yes I completely agree with you on this.When is the next international break?
It is utterly pointless and complete bullshit, I agree.
