Why does Kane need resting when he's just been rested for 3 weeks?
I think the real question is whether Kane is 100% over his injury. I don’t really go with this stuff about not being match fit. He was out for 3 weeks not 3 months. His level of output in the 2 games he has played was not as it should have been. He’s either 100% fit or he shouldn’t be playing.
Is it his knee again?Rose is injured.
Was his Calf. Nearly back nowIs it his knee again?
I think it's more of a case of him not being match fit more than anything tbh.
The United game is going to backlash town on Saturday, just as it was against City last week! Boy did we get unlucky with the fixtures, last thing we needed was City and United in Backlash mode!Really hope Poch rotates and rests as many as possible. The FA cup has to be a priority now.
LlorisSubs: Vorm, Davies, Dier, Sissoko, Dembele, Lamela, Llorente.
Aurier Alderweireld Vertonghen Walker-Peters
Wanyama Eriksen
Lucas Alli Son
Kane
I'd have been tempted to rest Alli or Eriksen and bring Lamela in, but I think both will play. We need Eriksen's guile and creativity. Lamela could come in for Kane if he's rested and play as a false 9.
Be nice to see KWP for Davies albeit on the wrong side, but Davies has played a lot of football, and keeps him fresh for Saturday.
