BlackSocksRedTops 3,809 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 We need to find a balance between keeping the squad sharp and sensible rotation. If King, Lowry, Ramsey, Davis, Sands and the young Polish guy get game time tomorrow, I can't see that making a massive dent in our set up or chances of a victory. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,266 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 This game is in 11 days , the players aren’t going to lose any sharpness by not playing 3 games in the next 7 days , Sunday , Wednesday , Saturday , they are however far more likely to pick up injuries imho . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,823 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 We tend to struggle after the winter break, which is... Three weeks? I think if we're not playing for 11 days, we'll see a difference, a drop off. That doesn't mean we should be playing our full strength team Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday; that's too far the other way, risking burn-out and injury. Just manage their game-time, making sure they are at peak performance. I would like to see some youngsters get a game. King and Lowry deserve a shot; McCann, perhaps; Zukowski, etc. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. Everyone should get at most just enough minutes to stay sharp. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,679 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Rest the players who need it tomorrow and next weekend and play them midweek to keep their sharpness. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems the most sensible solution to me too. Play as close to our final 11 next midweek, and rotate the 2 weekend games. Should actually still be too good for our 3 domestic opponents who are all pretty gash and have nothing to play for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to play for?? I don't agree. They will want to beat us desperately, the Europa League Finalists and the most successful team the world has ever seen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
