LONDON -- Three thoughts on Arsenal and Hull's 0-0 draw in the FA Cup fifth round.
1. Managers make their priorities clear
We're now fully accustomed to managers heavily rotating their side for the FA Cup, but this truly was a reserve game. Incredibly, Arsene Wenger and Steve Bruce made 19 changes between them and each side only featured two players who would be considered first-team regulars.
Both managers were concentrating on more important midweek games. On Tuesday, Arsenal have a Champions League clash against Barcelona while Hull, who are top of the Championship, face Ipswich on the same night and Sheffield Wednesday three days later.
