I'm not holding my breath, but I can see why Otamendi and Fernandhino didn't start, especially as they were both in South America midweek, and neither of the two CB's that played today, played midweek.Resting players to win on Wed had better pay off.
I think we'll see a significant reaction though, but winning the group is important for the next stage, and as I said, like it or not, our owner would accept third if we could win the CL.
Personally I don't think we're even close just now, and would prefer to win the league like most blues, but we're not Pellegrini's boss, and I'm sure his main target this season is to get as far in that as possible.
