Next Seven Games

[Raziel]

The CL games that matter are Dortmund away and APOEL at home. Get the results there and the Real games are meaningless. We're not likely to get much from either game against them anyway, so I consider being fresh for the following league games to be our priority. If any of our most important players have to miss one game out of the three against Bournemouth, Real and Liverpool to perform at the required level, they should miss Real IMO.

Not really
- APOEL is a must win, anything else likely means we are out.
- 1 Draw against Madrid in either game gives us a massive advantage re what we need out of the Dortmund game.

I'm not too worried, its a tough run, but I believe we saw last year, the more games we have, often we play better. The Poch system depends on the players being in a rhythm, and regular games actually seems to help.

I hope we play the best team available for each game, I know people think we should rotate the team, but I believe you should only rest players who need a rest. Not a fan of looking at the games to come, think we should win the next game you play as you never know what's round the corner.

Indeed, the next game is the one that matters win that and move onto the next one.

We should not have anyone suffering from fatigue at this point of the season and with the injuries that could happen were better off playing a team to win every game as they come surely

The point of qualifying is mainly to make more money. If we're in someone, else is out. Right now we need to keep qualifying to continue raising our profile. That will increase our commercial income which in turn increases our ability to sign and retain better players. A win over Liverpool is a lot more important.

I think a win over Real would arguably also raise our profile, so would go full strength in at least one of the two games.

By resting everyone once or twice over the next seven games we help prevent fatigue, but it isn't just about them coping physically. Nobody can be 100% switched on for every game if they're playing twice a week for 9 months.

But plays will get injured and then by default get rests

We joke that Kane scored those goal and missed 9 games last season but maybe missing those games helped him do that. Every player got injured for a least a couple of games last season and we never ran out of steam... who,st not resting players that much IMO

 

[awesome dawson]

I hope Southgate gives Kane a rest, even though I'm sure Kane won't want it. Last thing we need is him getting a reducer from a Leichtenstein player.

Re: Madrid and playing full strength - remember the noise we made around europe when we played Inter Milan in the Champs League and turned them over?

We put everything into the CL games that season and lost out on another top 4 finish because of it.

That wasn't why we lost out on top 4, but I guess it's an excuse to use

That's how I remember it, but it wasn't so bad was it? Lot of good memories from those games. The alternative was to ignore the CL so that we could get in the er..CL.

Plus we should have Wanyama, Rose, Moose and even Lamela back in this coming period to switch in and shuffle things up.

Indeed; it was Redknapp's mediocre coaching and squad management that did us in the end, especially wrt to our forwards as the goals dried up big time

Is no-one going to do the OMT for the next match ffs..

Done

A lot depends on match fitness on those returning (lamela, rose, Wanyama) and those still to hit form (alli, son, Dier). Good thing that we are 3rd despite a lot of absentees.
