Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has been left with a selection poser after watching his second-string players turn in a superb performance in Tuesday night's 3-0 FA Cup demolition of Sheffield Wednesday.
Holloway made eight changes to his side from Saturday's impressive 3-1 win at Cardiff in the npower Championship, but the standard of play was equally eye-catching as the Seasiders eased to victory in the fourth-round replay at Hillsborough.
Blackpool's win set up a fifth-round tie against Everton at Goodison Park and came courtesy of three goals from the top drawer by Matt Phillips, Lomana LuaLua and Ludovic Sylvestre.
Holloway admits the showing of his players has caused some confusion in his mind.
"I thought we were as professional as we have been since I've been here," he said.
"The goals we scored, the way we defended and then attacked, we didn't get them much of an opportunity.
"I was delighted for myself and the team I picked and some of those performances are going to cause me some problems in the future.
"I don't think anyone could tell me my best team now and I don't think I know either and that's what makes me proud.
"I thought we looked like a foreign team rather than an English team with the way we passed it."
Wednesday boss Gary Megson said he wanted to progress but was happy to now concentrate on their bid to earn promotion from League One.
"We certainly wanted to win but everything at this football club points to being successful in the league," he said.
