The club understandably want the CL And it’s important for our development.

We built up a 4 point lead over Arsenal from way back. Unfortunately their poor form has ended and the Newcastle win has really put pressure on us.

We have to rotate vs Everton..at least half the team. If half our second string can’t cope with Everton then so be it. RM could still knock us out but at least we will have gone into the game without one arm behind our back.

Its times like these when I think we should have an 18 team PL.

Ultimately, if we drop points v Everton we are still in the PL race but if we don’t beat RM we are out for good.

Definitely NOT our strongest team imho.

Looking at some of our players in last few games & what games are left I see this game as the one pep let’s go or we take a point.

Madrid next week is bigger than Everton regardless of title. We are still 1 point ahead of arsenal & some players need a rest. Gundy, Bernie, Kev, jack even haaland needs to sit this out. Tackles will be flying with Everton. We lose this we are still ok. We have Madrid & cup final to manage too. We need big guns for remaining games.

The squad really has to turn up v Everton. 3 points here & one of the biggest wins all season as it releases lots of pressure. I will take the draw if need be as that could be crucial come last game

I largely agree but I wouldn't take a draw. Think we are likely to win even with 5-6 changes. The likes of Laporte, Foden, Mahrez and Alvarez are top players. Rico can help too.

4 days rest. Strongest possible team. Make subs if we’re winning. Simple as that really.

No thank you. We should rest nearly everyone who played last night. The return leg against madrid is our most important match.

This is the side I’d play:

Ederson
Rico dias Laporte Ake
Foden Phillips Palmer
Mahrez Alvarez Gomes

Gomes as a left forward? Thank God that Pep will be picking the team on Sunday and not our fans lol.
 
The grass will be long and the pitch dry and bumpy,dyche bringing Burnley to goodison. Knock it into the channels and turn our back four, we all know exactly what is coming, thankfully so does pep. We'll control the ball and wear them down, not pretty but not bothered.

You’ve gone too far there!
 
Assuming Arsenal win all three, we need three wins of our own in next 4 so all matches are important irrespective of Madrid game. We have Everton Chelsea Brentford Brighton with three away games.
 
We are the best team in Europe
We’ve just do been to Madrid and drawn
We can go to Everton confident and get a win even making 4/5 changes
Mahrez, foden, Laporte, alvarez in
Definitely rest gundo and rodri
Need to play Bernardo, de bruyne and haaland for me
