FA Cup: Premier League managers disrespect the competition by making so many changes, says Vinnie Jones
Vinnie Jones has slammed the mass-rotation policy of top-flight managers in the FA Cup and urged them to respect Englands oldest cup competition.Newport County delivered the third rounds biggest shock by eliminating former Premier League champions Leicester with a stunning 2-1 victory at Rodney Parade on Sunday.Foxes manager Claude Puel has since been criticised for making seven alterations to his starting XI, but he wasnt the only manager to pay the price for ringing the changes.Neil Warnock made seven changes for Cardiffs 1-0 defeat to League One strugglers Gillingham, while Premier League clubs Huddersfield and Fulham were also punished by lower league opposition after rotating their line-ups.Leicester were knocked out by League Two Newport on Sunday1

And Jones, who won the FA Cup with Wimbledon in 1988, believes the competition should be treated with more respect.If I was manager I would put out my best side, see how things go, and then put a couple of youngsters out, he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.Some of these teams are not good enough to put a second-string team out.

Its a shame that when it does get to the semi-final, these lads that theyve put in during the early rounds, are they going to be left out? Probably.Its not fair all round and its an embarrassment for the club in the Monday morning newspapers [if they lose].The third round of the Cup falls during the most congested part of the season in terms of fixtures. Tottenham, for instance, will play their sixth game in 17 days when they face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. Nonetheless, Jones believes the Cup should sit high among managers priorities, particularly for English coaches.The English managers are disappointing me getting sucked into this, he added.They should have more about them. They should fly the flag for the FA Cup. Its our oldest cup and its our tradition. It should be respected.
