Poch knows how to rotate well. Look at his team tonight.

yes he has rotated, and it will need doing, but for this particular game it suits, but it's not exactly our best/strongest XI and definitely a team I don't expect us to use to face Man C after playing CSKA in our next CL match

Yes i agree and my point is i would be extremely happy playing our 2nd team against CSKA if it meant 3 points against City.

Lloris
Walker, Toby, Verts, Rose
Dier, Dembele
Lamela, Alli, Eriksen
Kane,

Son, Sissoko, Jannsen and Wanyama may disagree with your side and also answer my question.

That is even before our depth players

that's why those players step in for games after a CL game, or help rotate. as you have selected them they are obviously good enough, or if we win our next 3 in the CL they most probably help in the last 2 CL games. also with the depth players we have cover in the EFL, and providing the draw falls nicely in the FA Cup.

with our squad we shouldn't have to prioritize between the PL and CL, especially as there is no guarantee of a top 4 spot if we did, so why not go for broke in both
