2) At the start of the season they're lower down in the list of priorities, but once you've got to the semis/finals, you shouldn't be resting players. I know Syn says we didn't really do that after the CC final loss to Chelsea, but I remember that the Carling Cup semi final against Tottenham had a fair number of second teamers playing, and in the FA Cup against Chelsea, he inexplicably decided to rest Arshavin who was on top form at the time.
1) Sunday 19 February 2012 22.05 GMT is when he said it, that was porbs after we were out of everything and he always says it then.

2) Yeah he should pay better team in semi finals but i guess its who you play against. We played the best possible team against brum and we still lost.
