Making significant changes in an FA cup semi final

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Should have started McTominay, Ighalo and Romero as well. There's no escaping physical and mental fatigue.

De Gea and Maguire's performance is good indicator of the concentration levels dropping.

Personally I think the best team and the best performing players should always start in a game of such magnitude.

Magnitude?? It's the FA Cup ffs. The prize money is £3.6 million. Basic CL qualification is worth 15 million euros on its own. Do the maths.
