Palace game is Sunday eveningthursday/saturday? thats a wee bit fucked
Palace game is Sunday evening.With this fixture list :
Thursday 4 March - Fulham (A) PL
Saturday 7 March - Crystal Palace (H) PL
midweek 10/11 March - Dynamo Zagreb EL
Sunday 14 March - Woolwich (A) PL
midweek 17/18 March - Dynamo Zagreb EL
Sunday 21 March - Aston Villa (A) PL
whilst I would like to play the same team , I think we need to change maybe 3 players, maybe Bale becoming on the bench and Dele starts for example.
Then play our strongest X1 against Palace.
And hope to get all 6 points from the 2 games
Centre back is the one position that you don’t need to rest players... the more games, the sharper they get (unless we are taking a battering for 90 mins). Toby and Sanchez could play Tuesday if needed after today’s run out. I can’t imagine either sprinted once as a maximal effortAgreed, this must be the expectation. But I think Jose is likely to give the same XI a run on Thursday, try to build on the momentum from today, and then re-evaluate for Palace on Sunday. Fulham may be lower on the table, but they are in decent form of late.
I think the subs of Bale and Aurier just after 60 minutes guaranteed that they will play Thursday. Lucas probably as well. The only other change I could imagine him making is bringing in Dier, given his apparent infatuation with him. But I think that would be it.
Well I wouldn't put Eric Dier anywhere near this teamThere's not a snowball's Jose starts the same XI.
Eric will come in for Toby at the very least.
My guess is minimum 3 changes from today.
We did not win today because Eric did not play. We won because we have world class attackers.Well I wouldn't put Eric Dier anywhere near this team
We won today because twats like him didn't play.
Don't change the team unless there are fitness issues etc.

The CB's have nothing to do?Nope - we won because we played the game almost entirely away from our defence, the CB's had almost nothing to do we could have played Dier or Tanganga at CB would have made no difference.
That said don't change was isn't broken, unless players are injured/red-lined start with the same eleven.

Cmon. Burnley pumped the ball long so many times and our CBs dealt with it every time. Sanchez did everything he was required to do.
I don't trust Dier .
