Sure, there's no reason why there can't be rotation in both, but Shaktar is important given we need to avoid two additional games, picking up points at home is crucial
yes Bournemouth is crucial too but the lineup I've posted is easily good enough and again it's not just about resting players but keeping other players involved, I think the PL is a more familiar envionment to play more fringe players in
Saka is borderline injured and therfore should not start at the weekend under any circumstances
I would disagree. I think that lineup would be fine for the champions league against a team that we should be comfortably beating. But away at an established premier league team…no you absolutely don’t want to monkey around and select anything other than your best team. Saka should start unless there are legitimate fitness concerns and then taken off after 60 minutes if we are leading.
That’s how I see it anyway
I...hope we win, tbh,
Rest and Saka are two words that never seem to go together so if he is fit he will start.
He’s not with the squad which is not good news
