Should we rest players on Thursday?

yep -We certainly should rotate the side to stay fresh
Bissaka (if injury free) to give Dalot a fixture rest. Malacia also to startalong with McTominay, Fred, and Elanga
Martial possible return date is October 27 - hopefully will see him Thursday
I expect Ronaldo to be included and ending the drama
Antony to play last 20 min - Sancho to start

We need Garnacho getting more games. A young striker to get a few mins too.

Wonder if Ronaldo will come back. Score a Hattrick become the GOAT again.

I would like to see Garnacho play too. He's in a no man's land at the minute where he's not playing for the under 21s because he's in the first team squad but he's not getting any minutes for the first team either

We should be able to get away with changes in midfield and maybe even one or two in attack. Agree that Garnacho and Pellistri need minutes if we’re going to have them on the bench for big PL games, and there’s Elanga as well. Sancho should probably start though.

Defence is harder. With Varane out, I’m not sure we can rest Martínez as well - and is Wan-Bissaka even available to give Dalot a break?

Sheriff will be well up for it so if we make too many changes we could be caught cold.

OP Ronaldo should definitely start

I would start him on Thursday all jokes aside.

Yes I’d go with something like that. Probably play Dubravka though and I’d imagine Elanga would play. AWB are meant to be close to fitness also.
