We will go through if we win our home games and pick up some points on the road. I would concentrate on playing a stronger side at home and resting more players for away trips.
We also need to give fringe players minutes on the pitch, so that they have a chance to push for a first team place and are match fit when called upon.
The only way I think rotating works is if you put out a side you think is capable of winning the game - with that in mind I think we need to put a strong side out against Monaco with few, if any, players rotated in

I really hope that people are not thinking this is going to be easy. I would take draw. They have some good players we will be stretched
!
To be fair id rather stretch one of these ladies.

But I think we need to prioritise this, then play Wimmer, Trippier, Winks, Townsend and Njie against Swansea.
We can win this cup with proper effort, whereas we'll finish 5th (worst 6th) in the league whatever happens

@Gutter Boy the coefficient will not impact this seasons qualification. Next season maybe. You are doing that stating things as facts when they are not thing again.

If it was a home game, I would be all for playing our strongest side. I think that playing reserve players in the league would be a big mistake, we have a chance whilst the other clubs are faultering that may not be there later in the season.
That's nonsense, none of the top sides look convincing early on and we have every chance of finishing above one (or two) of them if they underperform for the duration of the season and we play to our best.
That's not to say we should sacrifice Europe, we're more than capable of taking both this and the Swansea game seriously

I take your point but I think that there is little difference in quality between some of the players that we would be looking to rotate. After that it is a combination of keeping first team players fresh and giving fringe players game time. On current form, the only duds in the squad look to be Vorm, Fazio and Townsend.

The final league tables usually correlate exactly to wage bill, with 1 or 2 minor exceptions (West Ham underachieving and Soton and Swansea overachieving).
I'm pretty confident that in 9 months' time the table will look like: Chelsea, City, United, big gap, Arsenal, gap, Us, Liverpool. The old saying was there was no point looking at the league table till Christmas. It's the second half of the season when resources ensure the table falls into its established order.

I agree that Dier needs a break but it is difficult to see how he can get it until Bentaleb and Mason return.
Yes usually that is the case, but as we have seen in the recent past that is not always what happens - and when the season is at an early stage and the teams above are looking less than convincing it would be outright foolishness to give up on the league
