They're not mutually exclusive.
There will be changes : definitely Robles; Miralles, Lennon, Gibson, Osman, Naismith in with a chance; Baines too if he's ready. But if Martinez wants to use his squad - which I support - why should the Bournemouth game be exempt ? Make a couple of changes on Saturday and a couple against Boro, and everyone's happy.
I won't be happy. No point changing a winning team.
It's tough to play 180 minutes in three days. The best way to turn a winning team into a losing team is to exhaust them.I won't be happy. No point changing a winning team.

For the first time in a long time, we talk about replacements and the team still looks strong:
Drop: Galloway, Barry, McCarthy, barkley, Delboy and kone.
Include: Baines, Cleverley, besic, Gibson, lennon and Mirallas.
Quality is still there, great squad of players at our disposal now.

But we'll lose some silly games where we're expected to get the points and will end up 6th (max)
Tbf that doesn't really count as Baines is our starting LB. Aside from that we do have decent depth, but I wouldn't want to change them all in one go!
Everton that.
I vaguely remember Naisy having a fairly big impact on one of our games earlier this season but can't recall which.Have either of those two been on the pitch for a significant time during our recent big wins?
I would change them all in one either, you could change any of them and we would still be fine. I always agree that you should play your strongest team though unless carrying a niggle...
