Well the Lask second leg is going to be a game for the likes of Mata, Lingard, Bailly, James, Fred and Ighalo. The starters will get enough rest to recover in time for essentially 4 win or go home games.
Start of next season which is a month and a half away. We need players fit and rested, not run into the ground going into the next season.Let's not bother winning a trophy to rest the first team players for... what exactly?
Hey don't need a rest,Would normally agree with you but I'm with Bojan on this one. First team has been ran into the ground. New season not far away.. They need a rest.
We go for it!Nope. We go for the title.
What's Mourinho got to do with it? He was shite for us but we're still glad we won it.People talking about "winning a trophy". Didn't do Mourinho any good did it? His time here is still remembered as an utter failure by most. Small time trophies like the Europa League is irrelevant whilst we are good enough to get in CL.
I am sure you were saying small time mentality when Fergie gave 2 shits about it.Small time mentality.
We go into every competition to win it, plays the reserves against LASK and give the first team 2 weeks rest but then we go for the win.
This. LASK is won so rest anyone we can. Go for it after that.Would give our main squad a mini break and play a complete reserve side vs LASK.
Then a gradually stronger side. We have a decent path to the final.
They just had 3 months off, its not the length of time that makes the difference - its the quick succession of games that was the problem. (2/3 days rest). That's over with now so Europa should be fine.Start of next season which is a month and a half away. We need players fit and rested, not run into the ground going into the next season.
Usually I am all for going for any trophy possible, but even Sir Alex didn't bother too much about Europa League. We need to target the league next season and have players fresh and raring to go.
Mourinho also aimed to get the oldest squad available. We now have a young team, and they need to get a taste for winning trophies!People talking about "winning a trophy". Didn't do Mourinho any good did it? His time here is still remembered as an utter failure by most. Small time trophies like the Europa League is irrelevant whilst we are good enough to get in CL.

He will rest some against LASK then he can go for the trophy. They will get some days off to rest up. This will be like a much better pre-season.Agreed, lot of players need a holiday. Bruno and Ddg defo.
GoHas anyone made a joke about Lingard yet because if not can I make it?
Different times, that was a long, long time ago.I am sure you were saying small time mentality when Fergie gave 2 shits about it.
