It's not just one day though is it , your talking like we are already in the final
I don't have any faith in this team in it's current state or the Manager sadly
Oh, so we are guaranteed winning the EL if we play the kids in the EPL? Would be a pretty shocking season if we end up 14th in the league an lose in the EL semifinal
You said it’s alright to disagree as long as you give a reason why, so I thought I would just say I disagree , is it funny how I explained it?
How da fuck is the final 3 days after the end of the season?
Imagine if Leicester get to the final as well
No.
You shouldn't put all your eggs into the EL basket as if we get knocked out we need something to fall back on.
Also today that squad was basically a completly different 11 to the one that we see in the Premier league - the best XI . With Aurier and Lo Celso to add to that to. We've actually got very squad depth and I believe we can rotate some positions in the Europa league / Premier league but still have a very strong team.

My thoughts exactly.
Given the fixtures list, I found 5 (of our remaining 14) PL fixtures we should rest our key players. Our squad depth is good enough to still put up a decent display, and it will be interesting to see how Alli and Vinicius combine in the PL.

Can I be given the permission to retrospectively put a poll in the OP?
What the actual bloody fuck is this ?
I explained what I meant in OP, and in another comment.
Of course we should try to win every game, but I was hoping we could rotate as such for 5 games I highlighted in OP:
We should focus on the PL and EL. There's a big squad there and only GLC is injured. We can easily focus on both and it's a bit feeble to give up on the league in February.
If we don't win the EL then top 6 should be a target as the added revenue from EL qualification does help.

Top 4 is fucked. Top 6 we can still do that.
I think the next 3/4 games in the EPL will make the decision for us. If we can’t string together a couple of wins right away (and the next 3 historically should be very winnable) then we could find ourselves 10+ points off top 4 with 10 teams vying for 3 top 4 places. After the Woolwich game, there will only be 30 points to play for and it could be bordering on impossible to make top 4. We could be all in on Europa whether we want to or not
I assumed we had given how shit we've been playing in the league
If we concede 6th and we don't win the EL then we would be screwed money wise wouldn't we? Seems a big risk to me. Especially if Jose gets the sack and we are trying to get a new manager and new players without any European football.
The draw is more important that anything, as we saw with the other Cups we were in this year.
If we get any two of Milan, Leicester, United, Napoli, Roma, Villareal, Lille we will be in real trouble, if the worse happens and we get 3 of them we are screwed.
However, if we can get can get the winner of Krasnodor-Zagreb and then hope two other weak teams get matched in the next round and get that winner in the QF's and then hope that someone like Woolwich or Rangers fluke their way to the SF and we get them, then all we have is a one off against a tough team. That is the path for victory for us, it worked in the League Cup we need to hope we can pull it off again here, because having to win this Cup by beating good teams is very unlikely to happen.
