You have worded those really to backup your point. You could just have easily come up with soundbites like Quarabag are nobodies and should be easy to beat, or Arsenal are our biggest rivals we need beat them for momentum and morale.Which i think is valid in the QF or SF, perhaps not in the 1st round. Not being difficult but which games would you have rested players in?
Qarabag = We hadnt won a game yet in the season
Stoke = We hadnt won a game in the league and would have dropped into bottom 3 had we not have won
Palace = Where is took everything we had to win and going in i didnt think we would
Ar5ena1 = Carling Cup 1st round where they were also resting players
Man C = Top of the league team where we need a performance at top of our game to get near them
I don't think you would find anyone on here that would argue against a bit of rotation/form/whatever. I would just question the timing of it in this instance. In my mind that match was the biggest match this season so far and we didn't go in as strong as we could have. A win would have been a tonic for the players and fans.
