No it won't. He isn't making it up as he goes along. He rested those players so they would be fit for Dortmund and Chelsea, two much bigger games within 4 days both which could go 120 minutes.A possible positive of this defeat is that it might make Pep think twice about not playing his better players vs Chelsea after the Dortmund game.
It's been a rough few days on this place, you have done well to stay away, mate.This thread is a depressing wake-up call as to how many forum regulars know nothing whatsoever ever football.

I'm not quite sure whether we're agreeing or disagreeing. What I'm saying is that Pep will have pretty much known his teams for Leeds, Dortmund and Chelsea last week, obviously barring injuries. The priorities are the latter two, both of which he will be putting out the strongest team available. It might not be an identical team but it will be close. Leeds was basically the others. So I agree with you that we will need to be strong to beat Chelsea and obviously Pep will as well. Not a cat in hell's chance that the likes of Mendy, Aguero will feature. The big guns will play both.I think he’ll definitely make changes. But I do think it’ll make Pep make not as many changes as he might have done if we’d beaten Leeds.
It’s nothing to do with ‘making it up as he goes along’ either. It’s about making sure the player’s schedules are managed throughout the end of the season.
He’s done a great job of it so far this season despite the loss on Sunday with wins at Leicester and Fulham using a team many didn’t consider full strength. I do think we’ll need to go full strength or very close to it in order to beat Chelsea though.
Totally illogical post from you once again. 3pts is 3pts. Win against Leeds and take the pressure off.No it won't. He isn't making it up as he goes along. He rested those players so they would be fit for Dortmund and Chelsea, two much bigger games within 4 days both which could go 120 minutes.
Sorry. I keep reading it and it isn't going in.Totally illogical post from you once again. 3pts is 3pts. Win against Leeds and take the pressure off.
Why do you only post when we get beat?All on the manager that and his obsession with the CL. Ake, Jesus, sterling, mendy and even though he scored Torres all not good enough.
