I can't quite believe I've just read this, the FA Cup is a massive chance for us to win a trophy. As for playing our reserves we have played good, strong team to get through the first two rounds so we aren't going to change it now.

As for the Europa League there are some really good teams left in it, everyone is creaming over Napoli but there is Inter Milan, Ajax, Roma, Wolfsburg, Sevilla and my favourite for the competition is Villarreal, anyone who watches La Liga will know why. However we have just as good a chance of winning it as everyone else! We bought a squad to compete on all fronts in the summer, every game and every competition is a priority!


We don't have enough good quality eggs to put them all in every basket. If we prioritise the league and the FA cup AND europa league we will simply fall short in all areas. We need to determine what is more important....winning the FA cup or winning a place in the Champions League?

To be honest winning a trophy would give everyone at the club, especially the manager a confidence boost.

Everyone knows the priority of being in the Champions League but I wouldn't prioritise one over the other.

BR has said repeatedly that we built a squad to compete on all fronts this season so thats what we should be doing!

We bought a squad to compete on all fronts but hardly have a striker.

I believe we are in a really tricky position right now. Spreading our resources over 2 competitions(europa and PL) may end up being our downfall. As it is right now, we are 4 points behind 4th spot and another thing to note is that all our recent good results have been against inferior opposition - our record against the teams above us this season have been absolutely abysmal. I believe the BPl should be the absolute no.1 priority, although the Europa is a decent shot at getting into the CL next season, I can't imagine Rodgers outfoxing Benitez or other seasoned European managers.

If we end up against Napoli in the Europa League, Rodgers will probably play with no strikers in one leg and Napoli will edge us and in the other leg we will go all guns blazing, with Rafa setting Napoli up to build a brick wall and then counter us.

Rodgers is clueless at tactics.
