If its different players (and it will be, unless someone is carrying a knock), there is every reason, as I said medical advise will have been offered, players are tested daily for levels of fitness, some will be less or more tired than others. I don't know without checking, exactly how many games each player has played, how many miles they have run etc etc, but some will certainly need to be rotated more than others, and that is all that is being done.That's a different argument but if he does end up making changes which is very likely then it means there was no reason for last nights, especially after not being overly worked at Sunderland.
Not losing to them is more important than beating Stoke, because they are direct rivals for top 4, and so it prevents them getting points. I'd have thought that fairly obvious.You say a game we need to not lose against Liverpool, why is that?
Aguero diving in front of him didn't help either, if that is the chance you mean, I think that put him off slightly.I thought Nacho's miss may have had something to do with Shawcross holding a big chunk of his shirt but have not kept a recording of the game and couldn't be bothered anyway to go back and try and study exactly when Shawcross grabbed Nacho's shirt but he certainly had a good hold on it; not that the ref noticed...
...or Arsenal.Could be worse, you could be a PSG fan this morning.
yeah same here, I am not sure what it was but they started playing and it seemed to be the City of last year. We have had a couple of games or so like that this year.... And sometimes we score, sometimes the opposiotion score in the last 5 mins, basically it feels like anything could happen in these games. We need to control these gamesBefore the game I had a feeling we'd either draw or even lose by a late over the top punt upfield. The game played out as I'd feared but we got the draw.
A boring game only livened up by Silva's late sub appearance. The new balti pies at half time were a treat though.
