arseblog reckons we should look at resting Giroud which probably makes a bit of sense before the Christmas period as this is probably the easiest game we have in December. As we definitely need him for the next 4.
Having said that we only need to score one goal nowadays to win games. 5 clean sheets in the last 6 not bad effort.
Not sure we can get away with resting Bif at the moment. Unless Podolski is available perhaps.
I fear we won't be able to rest him either even though it is really unideal. Podolski is out to the new year and I'd rather play Theo up top rather than start he who shall remain nameless there.
This isn't the footballer you're looking for....
I'd prefer Voldermort over him too...
No time to rest anyone. We can make substitutions to give various 1st teamers a breather against supposedly easier opponents.
We're trying to win the League here. To realise this, we have to ensure we beat what's in front of us on any given day.
Not taking any of these pub teams lightly.
Reckon it will be another clean sheet.
3-0.
