Brighton is the priority and if we're as fucked as it appears fitness wise we need to make sure the 11 we want on Saturday at Brighton are rested. That's going to be a really tough game.

This one we can lose and still qualify, and in all honesty a changed team can still get a result there.
Be nice to get a bit of momentum back going into the Brighton game. Just shown the open training session on Sky and Stones, Dias and Grealish were the only ones missing from the players in doubt so we should be able to put out a very strong side tomorrow night.
 
Mentality & result over performance.

A battling win with good form for Walker,Nunes, Gundo & Phil along with goals from Erling and Savinho will butter the parsnips !!

I thought the starting eleven on Saturday were good enough to come away with all the points. We lose tomorrow and then get a stiffing on Saturday that'll be four losses on the trot. We getting a bit Ericky!
 
Pep will be doing all in his power to avoid the extra games and the extra risk of a 2 legged play off.I think the Sporting game was also in his thinking with some of his choices at Bournemouth too. There won't be a single manager in the C\L \ with any expectation of going deep into it that will want to be finishing outside the top 8
I agree, although there is a slight train of thought that those 2 extra games could help some of our returning injured players get the minutes they need.

Pep always goes strong in the CL though, so tomorrow isn’t likely to be any different.
 
Going to be tough on Ake to start again but there's probably not much choice. He looked like he was towing a caravan at Bournemouth on Saturday. Not ideal having to overuse him at the minute when he's just back from a hamstring injury

I think the juries still out on taking the 8 group games seriously to avoid the 9th-24th playoff game.

Whilst your bottom part may be true, I'm almost certain a couple of big sides will miss out on top 8. Wouldn't shock me if there's a side that finishes 9th-24th makes the semi or final to be honest.
