Maybe I'm slow on the uptake or something, but it seems to me, that we go on and on about how important it is to finish in the top four to make the CL...then when we do (finally) manage it, loads seem to be advocating putting out a less than full strength side in that same tournement, to save players for the prem....so we can make the CL next year. Am I the only one who finds the logic bizarre?
Is it really that hard to grasp ? It's about building sustainable success. The money (and therefore the major benefit - in terms of revenue and turning that revenue into bigger wages and better players and more sustainable success etc)and kudos (if that's your thing) is in continually being in the CL, not being content with one heroic throw of the dice to get to the Quarter Finals once every six or seven yesrs.
And not all of us see some of the rotational options as being "weak" either, and believe that the only way to have a successful "whole" season, inc the CL is to make best use of the talented squad we have.
