It’s a very frustrating line-up, and the manager cannot come out and say they don’t care about the FA Cup but getting champs league is and should be the overwhelming priority.

Giving a few a chance to prove why they have a Chelsea shirt…

Charlton will sense a chance to get stuck into us!

Enzo won’t play as a pivot under Rosenior. Caicedo a given then a choice of Essugo, James, Santos or ahem…. Lavia to partner.

Unless we change formation I don’t see him playing anywhere other than a 10 and we have better there too.

To be fair to Rosenior he’s been brave considering it’s his first game in charge. We will sneak it in extra time probably but hoping for an easy night and a comfortable win.

hopefully he knows theres no extra time

I'd have thought Rosenior would put out a strong team for a good start to his reign tbh

Great to see the new manager putting out a statement line up, great to see him respecting the FA Cup and looking to give us fans a proper spectacle while showing intent to win and entertain.

Obviously player for player we should still have enough but players that have rarely played together and our lots odd attitude and I just think why?

Serious lack of respect by Rosenior to the oldest and most prestigious club cup competition in football. Already disappointed in his approach to this club.

This is the FA cup we have no right to d

Same I was expecting a strong lineup win the game first then rest players

I would argue that the FA cup is the lowest priority given we’re in the semis of the league cup. FA cup means nothing these days..

It's not as if we've put out a bunch of kids, this team should be more than good enough to win.

That said, badiashile and Tosin at the back always frightens me

Well he has taken a major stupid gamble here. Very few are onside for this appointment as it is, lose this and he's failed at the first interview stage. Massive gamble when he hasn't even got the players on his side yet.

That line up certainly isn't going to stop all of the "the board picks the team" talk.

Our average age tonight is 21.9

In the grand scheme of things in professional football, that is very much "a bunch of kids"

Charlton line up average is 25.3.

Tosin, Baddie, and Gusto?

I just hope both sets of players and coaches enjoy the game and make it home safe to their loved ones also much love and respect to the match officials.

Tosin, Badiashile, and Hato are going to sh*t themselves by the home crowd.

Well I mean they're not a bunch of academy players, they've all played a lot of top flight football.
