Yes but they’re still 6th in a terrible league. I’m sorry but our second team should be able to do a job whilst all trying to impress conte.They've only lost by a goal to Rennes twice. The bulk of their minus 8 GD came v us and we needed Kane, Son and Lucas on the pitch to get it done, albeit in different circumstances under Nuno. We still shouldn't underestimate them. It's cost us once already in this competition. As I said earlier in the thread it's so fucking important we win the group, if we don't we've got an extra two games in February in between trips to Man City and Leeds.
Every player starting Thursday should be showing the same energy as the team that played second half yesterday. If they're not they're out.
Our players looked run into the ground against Leeds… Kane in particular. Would you rather force him to play again and him get injured. We have to rotate and if we lose quite frankly I’d rather Chuck the game against Rennes and go out.
we have to focus on the league as it’s a huge chance now to get top 4. West Ham have 3 hard games including city and Chelsea whereas we have 2 of the bottom 3 and Brentford. We need to focus on that. Kane should not play. Or are we gonna make the same mistakes as we have for years with him, particularly with how demanding contes system is and how much he expects Kane to bulldoze his way through. We have to have him fresh with a weeks rest for Burnley.
