I would rotate the Full backs, rotate Fernandinho/fernando and assuming we have s striker back rotate Milner/navas/lampard. No point in resting CB's, no point resting yaya for ACON and probably won't have any choice up front
What people seem to forget at Christmas is the opposition have done the same thing. I'd expect our players to be fresher than a Burnley side that are only capable of competing if everyone of them is at 110%.
City only played for 65 minutes yesterday, asides from the full backs the running was minimal for a PL game. Contrast that to a much smaller WBA squad, they will have been physically and mentally crushed after working their socks off for a late defeat. Much the same for Burnley.
Our players are running much less than the likes of Burnley. Our intesity levels can drop in games.
I'd be worried if we had Burnley and they'd not played for a week, but they'll have have 3 games in a week.
Slight rotation, and hours intesity and we'll be fine. It's much easier to play 5 games in two weeks if you're winning. You get a lot more tired losing.
To the guy suggesting we rest Hart. Come off it. The guys in the form of his life.

Joe Hart will get a rest against Sheffield Wednesday in the F. A cup .
We will have to do some rotation in both games . We did last season when we played Liverpool and Palace . From what I recall Boyata played against Palace .
He was right back that day .

It's fact as sports science is currently understood. They do it every year, and every year we get complaints from managers, rotation and daft results at Christmas as a result.citytill1die84 said:Marvin said:They are professional athletes, but they are still human and you can't recover in 48 hours and if you work inside the recovery period it will be sub-maximal and there's an increased chance of injury.citytill1die84 said:They're professional athletes and imo if not injured they should be able to play every day. We play WBA & Burnley who have much weaker squads than us and imo they're the teams who should be worrying about who's gunna play 2 games in 48 hours. That team you've put down to play Burnley is a joke and simply won't happen pure lack of respect towards Burnley who ain't all that bad of a side.
Hart
Zaba Demichelis Mangala Clichy
Navas Silva Fernandinho Yaya Nasri
Milner
For Burnley
Hart
Sagna Demichelis Mangala Kolarov
Navas Silva Fernando Yaya Nasri
Jovetic
Full backs & Fernandinho, Fernando like for like only and if Pellers is rite Jovetic back in.

It's the same for everyone.
Of course it's not ideal for the players to play constantly over the Christmas period - but the point is that it's a busy time for the benefit of the fans, who are off work. There's not much left in football for the benefit of the fans after all.

Yes that's never happened to us has it?!
It's not an endurance sport. It's a combination of sprinting and endurance.Corky said:It is an endurance sport, it doesn't matter how much you get paid. They could play every day but they will get worse due to it and have to hold back more and more.
If it was more endurance it would be easier and safer to recover from. But footballers will be putting high force through fatigued muscles = injury

MrE said:Given our current injury list, and run of games, what teams would you put out in the next 2
Away at West Brom on Boxing day
Home to Burnley on 28th.
V West Brom I would play the same line up as we played V Palace
V Burnley it would be

Sagna Boyata Mangala Clichy
Fernandinho Fernando
Milner Lampard Sinclair
Pozo (or Jovetic if he is fit enough)
I genuinely give up - let's swap 4 of our back 5. End of thread.
