So now I've had to go put money on Lucas at 20/1 and Son at 11/1 to score from outside the area. Fuck this resting lark, keep them playing, hardly the pitface is it?

If it’s a 433 is Dele up top? Or maybe Sissy and Moura out wide, Dele as a CAM and Son up top? Could even be a batshit 3421 with Dele and Moura in the LF/RF roles. Giddy times

Suddenly not quite as confident as I was before, but with 10 games in 40 days everyone needs a rest sometime

Poch could’ve planned this much better, should’ve rested him vs Southampton not Leicester
And even after he should’ve been taken off with 30 minutes to go

This is a important and hard game against Leicester

Zero creativity.

That's my big worry too, I'd feel a lot more confident if Lamela was amongst the starters. Son's in good form so I'm not worried about him, but we'll need big performances from Lucas who seems to be a bit hot and cold and Dele who on occasion can be a little anonymous.

I know the Barcelona game is a big game but dropping points here would be pretty bad IMO. Considering how tight the league is right now every league game is vitally important too.

if Toby needs a rest, then rest him for Southampton at home not Arsenal away.

If Harry needs a rest, then take him off at 60 mins at home to Southampton when we're 3-0 up.

shows 2 things i guess - we have no idea what the fitness charts are showing on a day to day basis. Could be that Harry's numbers and fatigue indicators have shot up in the last 24 hours and secondly, we are really going to go for it in the Nou Camp.

Not very hopeful for a win as both our most important attackers are rested.
I have no problem benching Eriksen, he has not been at his best. We should always pick on form, not reputation or sentiments

Even if he's not getting assists or goals, we tick more when he's playing IMO. Still vitally important.
