It’s arrogant of me to say this, but we’ve got IMO the perfect opportunity to do what I spoke of just after the home loss to Bournemouth or loss to Watford.
This is a fantastic opportunity.
I hope we don’t flood the starting 11 with ‘fringe players’ but let’s get at least 3 or 4 in?!
We want to see Loftus Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi get game time. I hope Sarri at least starts with those 2 in all our Europa League matches and they use it as an opportunity to force Sarri to take them seriously for the Premier League squads.
It’s as close to ‘risk free’ as we’re gonna get this season.
Do you want wholesale changes? Or do you want a blend? And which players do you want to see?

yeah I guess so, did not know that you were referencing last season, we literally just played bournemouth, and watford beat spurs yesterday so threw me off.
Plus I don't remember what posters say months ago.

Cab
Zap AC Ampadu Emerson
Barkley Fabregas Loftus-Cheek
Hudson-Odoi Giroud Willian
Bench: Kepa, Cahill, Drinkwater, Azpi, Hazard, Moses, Morata.
Pıss easy group, fringe should play over the next few weeks to adapt to Sarri as they'll be needed further down the line with fixture congestion, injuries, fatigue etc.

Actually probably sensible to have Kante on the bench.

Think we can near enough guarantee cahill will play. Isn't he still captain?

Looking at the UEFA registration rules...two of Drinkwater/Cahill/Green/Moses will be left out of the Europa squad.
Fabregas & Barkley nailed-on take 2 of the 4 nation-trained spaces.
Requires only 4 nation-trained players and they're not eligible for the 4 club-trained spots (only Loftus-Cheek & AC are).
Hudson-Odoi will be in the "B-List" as he's u21.
One spot available for Ampadu (or Piazon) in the (non-homegrown) A-List.
