That only happens as they get near to the semis, in the early rounds the big four put out weakened sides.

But get through, Man Utd "Weakened" side that lost to Leeds was

29 Kuszczak
02 Neville
06 Brown yellow card
20 Fabio Da Silva
23 Evans
08 Anderson (Owen 69)
28 Gibson yellow card
09 Berbatov
10 Rooney
19 Welbeck (Valencia 57)
26 Obertan (Giggs 57)


Which isnt that weak....

That is because their squad is so strong but at least 6 of those are not what would be classed as first choice first team if all players are fit.

So its not really weakening, Without looking I am willing to beat they played the same sort of team at home in the league or Champions league this season at some point.

Chelsea at home to Cardiff

Chelsea
40 Hilario
06 Carvalho yellow card
19 Ferreira
33 Alex yellow card
08 Lampard
10 J Cole (Kalou 46)
12 Mikel
13 Ballack
18 Zhirkov
11 Drogba (Borini 88)
23 Sturridge (Malouda 78)

Warnock for England , what a joke! He is as slow as John Terry. Shorey would be a better bet at left back! Dawson looked ordinary for Spurs against Fulham where Bobby Z looked a better bet than (Spider) Crouch. I thought Greening looked good for Fulham as well.

Semi-finals ???

Fulham
Portsmouth
Reading
Stoke

Dawson Has marked Zamora 3 times this season and They have scored 0 goals against us, If Zamora is somehow international class what does that Make Daws?

Im better than Crouch, But he does have a nack of doing it for England

Zamora Was well controlled by Dawson And the ever improving Bassong. His two right footed efforts where feeble, the one in the second half was terrible.

I wasn't paying much attention to the game yesterday, but taking this as true, it doesn't mean a lot. In the replay he may own them. He may have a much better performance knowing he let himself down yesterday. The defence may take him lightly having managed to contain him and becoming complacent. The defence may have an off day. Both teams will likely approach the game differently, both as the home/away aspect is reversed, but also because there isn't the fall back of a replay.
