Should we play a weakened team against Chelsea?

[Bombo]

As we are playing allborg which is more important should we play a virtual reserve side against Chelsea in the match between the two legs. We would probably get beat anyway with our first 11 so why risk injuries to key players and chance going out of the urfa cup. My line up for Chelsea would be
Hart
Logan berti ball garrido
Weiss fernandes elano vassell
evans bojinov

Something along those lines anyway

Hart
Logan berti ball garrido
Weiss fernandes elano vassell
Caceido evans

^^I wouldnt go as far as that ^^

but there is definately a case for resting some players, how much can we expect from the game anyway.

just put bojinov in as forgot he's not in Europe squad

Fair point but if it's still in the balance think we should forget Chelsea game and concentrate on allborg 5-0 tonight might change my mind though

I agree tht we should play a strong side tonight, but if we play a weak side against chelski, we'll get battered. So imo, were better off playing a strong side for both games.

That team would be lucky to keep the score below double figures. And results like that damage team morale, regardless of who the personnel were.

What? You mean you have a side that isn't weak?



(That's probably gonna come back to bite me on the arse now!!)

Errrrrm.......Aston Villa.

But I agree, they've had a nice 8-day break. Think he's more on about avoiding injuries than resting players due to tiredness.

One or two key players may be pulled out, but there is no way on this Earth that he'll change the entire team.
