We should go for it this weekend against Arsenal. Even with our strongest XI it would be touch and go whether we get a result at the Emirates anyway.
Best case scenario is we win and knock them lot out the cup. Imagine that!
Worst case scenario is we lose and then know we only have the league and Europa to play for. So no need to rest people this weekend, if we win - great, if we lose - at least we know where we stand in terms of what sort of squad rotation we may need going forward for the league and Europe
I think the players could do with a rest, they've played a lot of games recently. I think the domestic cup competitions could be a good way to blood in some of the youth players that play in positions we're light in.
We have to go for everything. But I think it was a blessing in disguise that we lost to West Ham as we now have 2 weeks with no mid week games (unless we get a replay with the Arse).
If we did get 4th place this year then we have to have a squad and mentality that allows you to then play in the Champions League and then perform again at weekends.
