Shakhtar (A) Pre Match Thread

Agreed.

We haven't just won 20 games just to throw it away without a fight.

Strongish team for me tomorrow.

And if Walker or Aguero gets injured and is out for 4 weeks ie about 8 games. Remember Aguero is injury prone. Please be sure to come on here and tell us all how you still thought it was worth it!

The above wasn't what I responded to.

Rather I was saying it was silly to blame Pep for not winning at United because he played some starters.

When we very well know he could lose at United whether he plays some starters or not.

Here, you are saying something different. I.e. saying if a key player gets injured... Totally different claim.

Still a totally unnecessary risk playing first team players for no reason. And tiring them out before arguably our hardest game of the season.

Aguero could pick up an injury in the opening minute of the derby. What then?

Anything can happen.

Strong team for me. Can't afford to lose momentum.

Yes there's the win streak, but this is ultimately a game that means absolutely nothing for us.

Unless they need minutes to get match fit, Pep shouldn't play anyone he's planning to start on Sunday. It's just not worth the risk when the last few games we've already begun to show signs of fatigue IMO

An injury to Walker, Silva, Fern, Delph, etc. - even just a knock - could be disastrous over the next month when there are so many crucial matches that actually matter in December.

Fuck the win streak. We'll start a new one this weekend.

Sergio hasn't been injury prone for at least 2 seasons now,aside from that i agree with you i don't want anyone playing that wil start the derby

He could, but at least it would be in an important game. It's not the same argument is it! Tomorrow counts for nothing and the hardest game of the season is 4 days away.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

I can't believe some on here are advocating playing a strong side! Please explain why this game is worth the risk and the added tiredness before the hardest game of the season. Because I must be missing something.

Just arrived it's snowing but surprisingly warm (well not warm but not as cold as expected)

Look forward to seeing people's pics and whatnot (it's not a part of the world I'm familiar with at all!), but stay safe out there blues.
