We were on poor form at the time and had to adjust a bit because of that.
I think it's very likely that if all players are fit, we'll play the same XI as we did against Chelsea (maybe Sanchez instead of Rodon depending on his performance today).

So we need Son Ndombele Hojbjerg off ASAP.

When has Jose ever taken our best players off ASAP? Dollars to donuts they all play at least 60 minutes.
 
I've heard the line up is stronger than expected could some please confirm that the line up is stronger than expected also is it true that the line up is stronger than expected?
 
Fans of teams that Mourinho used to manage I have heard criticise him for running players into the ground, playing his preferred 11 at every opportunity.

I trust the fitness / sport science people at the club really, though hard to argue against that notion seeing the team sheet today.

One game at a time as they say. Though would be foolish to ignore the importance of our upcoming league fixtures.
 
I was going to ask why such the strong lineup but because I never bothered to check the EL table, I never noticed the table was so close.

A lost today would make for a nervy match next week against a team that beat us in the first leg , so a strong lineup does make sense.

In some ways it makes sense, as all we hear about from the manager and the players is that the focus is only on winning the next game, and no sights set on anything more than that.

If you say that over and over, but play what would clearly be the B-Team on the basis of a full rotation, it's a contradiction.

All the players and Jose know about the importance of rotation. That’s why we heavily rotated for Ludo before Chelsea. Furthermore if what you said was true, Lloris would be in goal.

No more excuses for Jose on this. He’s made a bad decision.
 
We're not far from Xmas either. They better at least come out firing. Because if we coast thinking "it'll come" these lads are gonna have heavy legs Sunday.

Hope he's hammering into them they come out and blitz them.
 
Strong line up to ensure we get 3 points today and guarantee we get to knock out rounds - with one match to go.

There are 3 players starting who I'd like JM to take off, maybe at 45-50 minutes for preference - Son, Ndombele and Hojbjerg. So we hope we get several goals in the first half to help that.

With Sissoko, Winks and White we have players to come into midfield - especially if we are ahead when they come on.

There's no natural prolific goalscorers on the bench, other than 16 year old Dane Scarlett for whom 45 mins might be unfair to give him so Dele or Bergwijn might be the sub to come on.

But with 5 subs allowed on, we can rest all who need to be rested for Sunday
