It would be but if Madrid is close after the first leg he will risk it. It’s just the way he rolls.I think it would be much easier going into the final as league champions, rather than having the pressure of making or breaking the season all on one game.
When we play Watford, Real have a free weekend to nicely prepare for our 1st CL semi.He will also take risks in the league too as the CL is the one that has escaped him. He will want that one more than any. I think we will see key players rested in the Watford and Leeds games.
Don’t worry it won’t happen, absolutely no way will Pep rest players imo for the run in, rest key players for Leeds away, just can’t see it myself.Hope not .
Which won’t go unnoticed by Pep either. I can’t see either De Bruyne/Rodri playing against Watford. They are the two players we can’t don’t without and with Cancelo banned, I can’t see Walker being risked even if he is fit. When he said we were in big trouble, he meant it! Our squad lacks depth and the younger players don’t get enough game time to risk them. Be interesting to see what he does.When we play Watford, Real have a free weekend to nicely prepare for our 1st CL semi.
And Real have a minimum 9 point lead in La Liga.
Do you have the stats to prove that, or is it just your impression?80% of our posession was in our own half, fucking around trying to play it out from the back. It didn't work all game.
Despite him saying time and time again that the PL is the priority as it is the hardest of them all to win? He wants them both equally, just for different reasons.He will also take risks in the league too as the CL is the one that has escaped him. He will want that one more than any.

He just said they were better, just not much better.Funny how you can never admit they were the better team.
.... and it felt like 80% of that was in our 1st third, with the back four having a laugh trying to see how many times they could casually knock it back to our nervy keeper with red shirts buzzing around instead of turning and playing up and through the midfield. Barmy.80% of our posession was in our own half, fucking around trying to play it out from the back. It didn't work all game.
At least Villareal also have a free weekend pre CL 1st legWhich won’t go unnoticed by Pep either. I can’t see either De Bruyne/Rodri playing against Watford.
