Unlike many here, I’d have taken, and will take, the CL this year over ALL the domestic trophies. The League and FA Cup clog up the schedule completely unnecessarily, as they end up forcing games to be rescheduled and put in every little nook and cranny in the schedule that can be worked.
City should play kids and “reserves” needing valuable game time in BOTH Cup competitions and allow the “First Team” to expend all their energy on the CL and, secondly (unless things change dramatically with the injuries in the squad and Liverpool fall apart), the PL.
