I think he should have done a bit of both and made 4-5 changes instead of the 9. That way, you're maintaining some rhythm, and the players that you're assessing are playing with good players around them. I think obvious starters were Romero and Vicario, given the latter needs to adapt to the league and we want Micky and Romero to build up a solid partnership. It seems Sanchez is on his way out too so that one was particularly questionable.I know everyone is starved to win something but bottom line is getting back to CL has to be number one priority for this club going forward and that means League takes priority.
It hurts like hell to lose but willing to bet Ange learned a lot more tonight about his squad than he would have by playing majority of his top 11. Certain players that put on in training certainly failed to impress in an actual match. He will now have full clarity on what this squad needs going forward and what players he can trust for our league games.
