Edwards will probably be out given he was wearing a protective boot on Tuesday.
Earliest chance of us winning a trophy, I don't give a shit if it's "mickey mouse" or not, I want us to start winning things and gain a winning mentality, we need to take it serious and I really want us to knock Liverpool out of it quite frankly as well because I can't stand them.
I do agree we need to rotate however but let's not do it in an insulting manner, I want us to win this thing.
Even if we are knocked out, there's still the FAC.
The positive that I'm looking at if we are knocked of the LC is that we'd then have the same number of comps that pool are in. If pool think that they'd then have a good chance of winning the LC they might put on stronger teams in the later rounds of the comp and thus open themselves up to potential injuries / tiredness from their players which might affect their league form.
If we knock pool out, then we'd be in 4 comps and they'd be in 2, which would allow them to easily concentrate on the league.
Of course, I'd like us to win all the comps that we play in but all is not gloomy if we lose out in some of them. I'm just looking at any potential silver linings.
Well no, its not.Irrelevant who we pick IMO.
Well, yeah.... we'd be in the same number of comps. but I'm not sure you can really compare the league cup and Champions League as equivalent drains on clubs' resources. We'd still have (potentially) many more games, against higher standard of opposition with much more travelling.
Let's rotate sensibly but not wholesale, give them a proper game and hope to make the quarter finals!
I like how people consider playing a weakend team as 'rotation'. I do hope these people never complain how this club never wins anything.
Or we could do what you suggest and play our strongest team in every match and then get burnt out by February...not such a great idea that is it?

You don't remember what happened February onwards during Redknapp's tenure, do you?
Boooo this post changed. I wanted to see me on the pitch too! Just buy my flight and housing, Daniel! I'll even take the tube like you and mix it up with the peasants on the way to the game!I'm just hoping Edwards gets some minutes. I'm desperate to see what the boy can do.
