Team for tonight?

I wouldn't play first team players. So no Kane, Hoijberg etc.

Even if we lose we can make up for it later on.

Do we really want to lose another game after the Palace defeat going into Sunday's game? I don't.

Definitely want to see Ndombele get at least 60 mins - we need him for Chelsea.

Is Romero still not able to play? Would be great to get him and Sanchez together or him and Rodon.

OP. You make a good point about all the subs. No reason why we dont start majority if players that will face Chelsea to get some type of cohesion and patterns of play.

Can always sub 5 outfielders in the second half.

Yeah I agree with this, need to build some momentum and confidence...winning breeds winning and all that.

Need a core group of playing regularly and only swap out for genuine tiredness/injury. Old school.

Just read 5 subs are allowed but you can only stop the game on 3 occassions during the match to make subs.

They claim they have all these stats on players. The first team players in the lower percentiles distances run and sprints should continually start.

Why should a player that runs 3km every game get rested more than a player that runs 5km every game.

Kane doesn't currently need rest the way he plays. Doesn't Sprint and doesn't run into space.

Someone like Hojbjerg probably does.

I thought this was for the kids, you should have no first teamers near this.

This is below the league cup in the pecking order

No way should Kane be playing tonight!!

Anyone playing on Sunday vs Chelsea, should be rested.

That means a full game for Scarlett...

Squad & youth players only...

Need to play a strong team tonight. Can't be left in a position to be needing points later in the group and using up players then. I'd rather get the points on the board then rest players if we can.

There is literally no one who needs a "rest" at the moment. We are 4 games in FFS.

Players needed to be getting up to speed, plus we should treat this competition with a little bit of respect considering we haven't won a trophy in 13 years.

We'll play a very weak side with an eye on the Chelsea game and probably get beat

Will be worth it if you take points away from Chelsea.

When has playing a weak side mid week ever worked for us?

posted on 16/9/21

It's not like we've won anything. So this theory has no real basis for me.

Also what happens if we make champions league? Play weak team in champs league so we can concentrate on the league? All stinks of weak mentality. I want to see youth get game time but only if player have fatigue not because of some hidden priority clash even when layers are all fit.

NEVER.

Was one of the reasons we didn't pick up a trophy under Poch imo

Play these players till they tired then sub them. That's all.

Pandering to them makes them soft. Gil, Bergwijn, Skipp Dele, are good enough to relieve most of our starting lime up when or if they get tired.

I actually think Gil will be starting instead of Bergwijn pr Lucas soon.

Lo Celso and Ndombele will replace Dele and Skipp

Simple thing in any formation is count how many players carry a goal threat. If its less than 5 then you are defensive.
