Pre-match views from the forum:
1macca1: “I don’t think there’ll be much change for all 3 of this week’s games. Martinelli is a forced one. Strength in depth/new arrival means Jesus, Ramsdale, Tomiyasu and Havertz might start. No Timber or Partey and there are still a few quality options that I think have no chance of starting. Pretty good squad.”
Blood on the Tracks: “It’s our first game back in the CL for years, put out our best side. Take important players off after 60-70 minutes if we’re in control.
Players shouldn’t be feeling fatigued this early in the season anyway and If they can’t get up for the Sp**s match there’s something wrong with them.
We’ve got a good chance to go deep in the CL this season, in a way I’d prioritise it over the PL if I had to choose.”
dripping: “The only problem is that the game afterwards is NLD. If it was an easier game and not a derby rival, the choice would be very clear.
I think a little bit of rotation has to be considered, as some players are injury-prone. And it’s not possible to substitute the whole team.
A win is very important to be able to rest later in the group stage. After that next UCL game away against Lens it’s City match, so it’s more important to rest there. So maybe go totally full strength here. That away game has travel included so it’s tougher. A draw from Lens away is not a bad result at that point.”
