Administrator Stan 18,432 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted May 9, 2021 Ole's gone strong today. I'd guess that's as strong as a line-up you can field at the moment? @DeadLinesman @CaaC (John) @Redcanuck @MUFC @Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman 5,938 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 No idea why it’s that strong tbf. Seems daft considering Villa are by in large the worst of the 3 teams we’re playing in this small space of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 He wants to get Champions league secured so he can then rest ahead of the Europa league final. Were pretty much there, makes sense to get us over the line as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,369 Posted May 9, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted May 9, 2021 Fatigued or not, other teams have been in the same situation and just got on with it, not worried about Villa really it's your Leicester at OT that I worry about when we play them, Rogers will have them geed up and remind them what happened last season, going strong early on then ended up out of the top 4 and only the Europa begging.

Totally get that but they're 9 ahead of 4th, 10 ahead of 5th and with a game in hand. West Ham & Liverpool would need to win all of their remaining games to get ahead of Utd, and that's with Chelsea & Leicester also losing all of their games, which is impossible given they play each other a week on Tuesday. CL is quite clearly secured already, in my opinion. Only mathematically is it not but when you look at some of the freakish results this season, you could lose all your games and still comfortably get top 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there anyway but making it secure allows him to play a full reserve side in our next game ahead of the Liverpool game which I think he'd like to win to put the knife into them.

Annoyed me that because I was only praising him yesterday for improved performances. I'm convinced Ole thinks other areas are more important to strengthen this summer, stuff like the mistake today make me question that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at their bench I think they should all be trusted to do a job against Aston Villa. They have Leicester City and Liverpool in the next four days. This squad selection on Thursday and today just seems mental. Surely there isnt a sports scientist who tells him this is OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for him but from a purely FPL view, I expected Leicester to be the game where the changes happened, purely as that was the game sandwiched in between. No way he rests anyone v Liverpool, under any circumstance where as, I think he feels let's beat Villa (the winnable game) and take our chances v Leicester.

He did this last season and we ended up out on arses, the game against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi and the Europa semi against Sevilla we looked exhausted. It's one of my biggest criticisms, lack of Rotation. Just now, Lucas said: I can't speak for him but from a purely FPL view, I expected Leicester to be the game where they changes happened purely as that was the game in between. No way he rests anyone v Liverpool after all under any circumstance. He won't be able to rest anyone against Leicester at this rate. They need to turn this around in the second half.

Definitely hit his arm, but he was so close to the Villa player with the ball coming off the Villa player's head at speed. It could have been given, and while it would have been harsh , you do see similar calls given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool win their game in hand and they're back in the mix. For that reason I'd rest everyone vs Leicester and throw the game and try beating Liverpool via full squad.
