Yes,
Fine line between saving players for bigger games and not having them match ready.

Haaland will have had 2 weeks off!
Good point. I'd rather of brought Haaland on in the last 25 minutes against Chelsea than play some part in tomorrow's game.That would of had him ticked over nicely. But Pep knows what he's doing.

9 days without a game, he played on Thursday, and it's not like he is on a beach for 2 weeks doing nothing, he's training during that time. you don't lose your sharpness that quickly. If you're knocked out of the cups early, you go longer than that without games. Haaland shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11 for this ahead of the derby.
 
1St half v saints maybe
Maybe, but Peps got form for not just playing a player in just the first half. He tends to keep them on a lot longer. He may get some game time just to keep him ticking over. But who knows with Pep, he's hardly the easiest manager to second guess a starting Xl.
 
Looking forward to this one, being based on Winchester I can jump on the train and go watch us live for the first time in a while. Come on city!
