I'm going to take a wild guess and say Willian might get MOTM tonight.

Good wild guess.I'm going to take a wild guess and say Willian might get MOTM tonight.
He shouldn't be first choice at the moment. Guy hasn't scored since Boxing Day. Giroud deserves to play against Barcelona IMO.Morata is so shit
But the stupid thing is he probably won’t. Giroud provides some good hold up play and linked up pretty well. Morata simply seems to slow everything down, lose possession and make wrong decisions. But because he is ‘the big signing’ Giroud will most likely miss out in the big game.He shouldn't be first choice at the moment. Guy hasn't scored since Boxing Day.

Doubt chelsea will be able to put sustained pressure on barcelona. Morata is a monster on the counter. Giroud is...not.But the stupid thing is he probably won’t.

I thought Morata is out for the season ? Or I read he could be ?Doubt chelsea will be able to put sustained pressure on barcelona. Morata is a monster on the counter. Giroud is...not.
He played last night.I thought Morata is out for the season ? Or I read he could be ?
What do you make of Giroud and how would you compare him to Morata? I personally rate him.He played last night.
He heFirst tie of the 6th round now confirmed Chelsea to host the winner of Brighton V Coventry. Unless Rochdale or Wed pull of a shock of course.
I don't agree with the draw being held before this round of fixtures is finished, since that draw might affect how teams approach the ties tomorrow and on Monday.After our game it appears the programme on BT starts at 7.45 pm.
I agree that the draw should be after all the games are played. There are going to be a stupid amount of either or games. City playing on Monday evening doesn't help matters. Just play all the games on the Saturday or all on the Sunday. This is what saturation TV coverage does for you.I don't agree with the draw being held before this round of fixtures is finished, since that draw might affect how teams approach the ties tomorrow and on Monday.
Let's say, for example, that Spurs are drawn away to City. It's not inconceivable that Pochettino might decide we only have small chance of coming through against that tie, and so decide to field an incredibly weakened team tomorrow against Rochdale.
Or, we might be drawn at home against Swansea/Sheffield W, and so decide to field a very strong team tomorrow.
It is when there are no PL games. Fulham/Villa in the Championship looks good and is not TV. I would have loved to watch that at lunchtime and had to sit through Sheff Wed/Swansea which I found very boring.I kind of find FA - cup weekends dull as far as watching football.
That'd be pretty shocking. Spurs need to win something or at least try to and can't just go "oh, we're gonna be playing City so may as well forget about it".I don't agree with the draw being held before this round of fixtures is finished, since that draw might affect how teams approach the ties tomorrow and on Monday.

It certainly wouldn't be "shocking". It would be a pragmatic decision based on pushing for top 4 and aiming to go beyond Juve in the CL.That'd be pretty shocking. Spurs need to win something or at least try to and can't just go "oh, we're gonna be playing City so may as well forget about it".
Yet supposedly Evans is wanted by everyone.Hope the Baggies get dumped! Evans and Barry shouldn't even be in the squad.
