These are probably more appropriate;
everyone who would play like this against us already knows it's the best approach. it's been the same since we qualified for the CL. it's alos not unique to us and is generally how most lower bottom half teams set themselves up against upper top half table sides and they do so because it's widely proven to be the best way for them to pick up points in tough away games
This is the biggest selection headache for Poch to date, I am all for going for the FA Cup but with a cup final carrot dangling in front of us coupled with the fact we left ourselves a lot of work to do next week in Sheffield we have to rotate for this one and have our best 11 ready and fresh for Sheffield. It should help we will have Chadli back next week. I would play Davies again as Rose needs to play next week and play Ade again so we can play Kane in his proper role with Eriksen behind next week as well. Maybe try Ade & Soldado for this one.
I would also leave Eriksen and Kane on the bench in case we do need to rescue the tie in the second half.
-----------------------Lloris-------------------------
Chiriches---------Kaboul-----Dier-----------Davies
------------Dembele--------Mason-----------------
Lennon----------------Paulinho-------------Townsend
--------------------Soldado/Ade---------------------
Then for Sheffield we go for
---------------------Vorm----------------------------
Walker---------Verts-------Dier-------------Rose---
-------------Stambouli------Mason-------------------
Townsend------------Eriksen----------------Chadli---
-----------------KANE DA GHod--------------------
I think Poch will put out a similar sort of side to the one against Burnley in the replay at WHL:
---------------------------Lloris----------------------------
-----Yedlin-------Kaboul-----Vertonghen------Davies----
-------------------Capoue-----Dembele-------------------
--------Townsend------Paulinho--------Rose-------------
-------------------------Soldado---------------------------
I would start Yedlin in this one to gel him into the side as soon as possible.

Don't see the point in that. We have plenty of squad players who need games if we want to rotate.
