Tricky game and a tricky week coming up i think OGS will play a strong team today and then maybe rest players for the Leicester game on tuesday and then have our strongest team ready for the victims

If you beat Leicester are the fans going to storm the stadium on Thursday to get the match called off again?

  • Tuanzebe

I think the reality tonight was to rest some players after playing so many games , disappointed to have lost but players needed a breather , with Maguire now facing a race to be fit for EL final was right thing to do , hopefully some will be back for thursday and we can give them a proper game , the title had gone a long while ago realistically

Trotting that out and making those subs was basically saying, "I want the title, but I'm not risking Europa on an extreme long shot to win the Prem."

He'll have a proper go at Liverpool and then take his foot off the gas. Keeping them out of CL football pleases the fans, eliminates a competitor in the race for this summer's big fish and might get Salah out the door.
 
Realistically yeah we would love to beat them , but i think OGS was correct with team selection playing 4 games in a week is crazy stuff whatever the circumstances, our main game was always in Gdansk on the 26th we hopefully can get maguire and martial back for that , would have been crazy to risk more injuries , i think on thursday will be a strong team against Victims but not full strength

The RS in the Europa league will also derail their title bid next season.
 
Integrity of the game means nothing to some I guess, If we fielded that kind of side there would be uproar from the media.
 
Vialli and Chelsea kept us in the PL playing a first choice team in a dead rubber a couple of days before the UEFA cup final didn't he?

It seems to me that's the right thing to do if you respect the league.
