It was suggested in the media today by George Graham that it may be wise to rest players for this game and concentrate on domestic games. Just wanted to know what the views on this are from the forum? Me personally, I would certainly rotate and keep players fresh to the Scum game on the following Sunday.
do what we did last year. fairly strong team but rest some players. 2-0 isn't unassaible so we should give it a go, but if we go 1 down before half hour, then id give up and not fight so much and sub players etc
The game is on Tuesday I think and the Spurs game isn't till the Sunday so we've got a decent rest but IMO we're not going through whatever we do so I think we should rest some players.
Wenger should've listened to me the first time. Throw the cup, win the league.
Was thinking about this. No way will Wenger chuck it. He may have a surprise like Sanogo in the first leg but IMO CL is more of an obsession for him than the league.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I would rotate as much as possible. To be honest I can't see the likes of Gnabbers, Poldi, Oxlade etc doing any better or worse than the first choice players would. It would be amazing and a huge upset if we went through, so just play the percentages and realise there are 2 other competitions we have a genuine chance to win.
Rotate a bit but still field a strong side and try to win. If we field too weak a team we will get murdered. Lose by 4 or 5 goals (or worse...) and the confidence of our team will be destroyed. It will have the opp/site effect of the 2-0 win there last season.
