It's not always possible if we want to win the trophies we're still in

we can rotate in the FA cup....

I think he'll play most of the team that played Wednesday, then rest a lot of them for Bristol. Then again, this is Pep, who the fuck knows! :)

...and the Pl...and the CL.
Anyone who thinks Pep won't do this hasn't been paying attention

so you don't want to win the others?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Need to go on one of our proper winning runs now and that starts by giving these a new bumhole.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

It would be great to win the c/l and fa cups but the premier league takes preference for me. Soz.

I think we all want to win every game and every trophy . . So, yes, let’s win the others but not at the expense of being the Champions of England.

Arr ok. That changes the landscape. Maybe 3 or 4 changes, then put them back in for the CL. Personally, I'd prefer to go stronger for league.

 

[paulsimpson]

Start with the strongest 11 Pep please!
Can always bring on 5 subs on the hour mark or thereafter .

 

[BringBackSwales]

I was going for the more realistic option....but yes hopefully 2 ....arsenal maybe getting a bit twitchy and anything but the full 3 pts for them and the nerves will really kick in as their game in hand nearly becomes redundant (nearly)

No mate it’s 3 points for a win so if Villa get a draw then they rake 2 points off arsenal, that’s what I meant anyway

 

[Cricket Blue]

Not bothered about performance , just get the points and get home and rest , busy time coming up , going to be a fiesty game and a ref who is used to being in the championship so will probably let tackles go

Will do the match thread , please dont be such twats as you were in the last games , pretty please

Team news at 155pm Kaz?

Did you miss a comma?

It's my preference too, but we all want to win as many of the trophies that we've still got an interest in. Pep will always pick a squad that he thinks is good enough to win the next match. It may not be our 'best' 11 (whoever they are) however, as he's trying to keep everyone fit/rested/ready to win 3 competitions

 

[Goro]

We also need to balance match sharpness for everyone
For example Jack got better by getting more game time
It’s tricky but we are also blessed with options

 

[Rammy Blue]

No point beating Arsenal if we then fuck up this one.

It‘ll be near as damn it our strongest 11 although expect 1 or 2 tweaks like Phil getting a start for example.

Who's the guy that leaked the team early on Wednesday. He was spot on.

I'm jlnot saying he won't but it shouldn't be wholesale changes as was being suggested
