So our full strength 1st team then? whats your reasoning behind this? Don't you think its better to rest key players ahead of the game against united? or do you just see europa as a priority and think we need a full strength team to win?
I think the Europa is the main priority for me, the club needs to somehow try and hold on to some sort of profile in Europe in order for people not to forget us, if we do well in it we can at least get some sort of recognition like Athletico Madrid are currently doing. I think if we beat United 5-0 or got beat 5-0 it wont make a blind bit of difference as we will still finish between about 7th and 10th regardless, games against the big four wont define our season while success in Europe will help more.
I honestly dont think we are in any sort of position to have a strong enough squad where we can rest players or pick and choose, the squad is weak and threadbare anyway and a defeat on thursday with kids playing will mean catch up in what is a very difficult group for a Club like ours.
