Prem form will determine who plays in the semi

RM has stated that the premier league form of players over the next few games will determine who plays in the semi.

So what about those who have only started in cup games and don’t get picked to start in the Prem games ?, how can they prove themselves to RM over the next couple of games from the bench/stands ??? .I thought he said that some players will get their chance in the cup to push for a Prem start.

At times he does talk some serious bottom burp stuff

confucius say ………………
play well in the prem you can play in the cup but if you play well in the cup you can play in the prem .

make sense now ?.
