Would you guys be okay if Tim and Co focus their efforts solely on the league and play the kids in the EL and FA fixtures? or do you feel he must go for it in both EL and FA Cup games? or just focus on the league and pick one out of the EL and FA Cup to make an added priority?
I only ask because with the injuries piling up i wonder if we wouldn't be better suited to just focus on the league and give the other competitions a "pass". The obvious disadvantages to that are
1) We lose out on the opportunity to win a cup.
2) We lose out on possibly help the team gel in match game situations.
3) Some players might see their game time reduced with less competitions to play.
For me personally, the advantages to giving the EL and FA Cup a "pass" would be
1) More time for Tim and Co to implement their ideas to team/ actually get the team gelling in training (eg Liverpool , Everton )
2) Much less chance for injury
3) Much more time to prepare for League games and possibly drive ourselves up the league
I'm sure many will feel like we must go for it but i really want Tim to focus on the league. With one goal in mind (finishing top four) he could galvanize the team much more and treat every league fixture as final and definitely help push us further up the table. I welcome added opinions.
