Why on earth are we worrying about the Premier League when we'll have the Champions League to think about soon after?

Dell-sized mentality 

As part of the new five year plan the Club World Cup final should be our only priority and we should rest the entire team until then 

It’s what Cortese would have done

I think we should rest Tonda too, just incase he over exerts himself too much masterminding another decent performance in a meaningless game and his arms are aching from all the directing he’s doing, or he loses his voice and is unable to communicate and get his messages over properly for the play offs. Can never be too careful

 

This is the same Tonda who I told you in November after 4 games was a cut above, and you were the first to cry that he hadn’t been tested against anyone. I dare say it’s the same Tonda you wanted sacked after Hull at home too. 
You’re clearly not that bright, the context for resting players was outlined in my original post. It’s a requirement in my view based on the ludicrous fixture schedule we have had to play last month. It is incomparable to the Leeds away game in the last promotion season as the weeks before that was an ordinary schedule.  
People commenting on the likelihood of injury in training compared to a game clearly haven’t played the sport at a good standard. Likelihood of injury is far more in a competitive match. 
Tonda isn’t stupid and will play somewhere in between a strong side and mass changes.

The point remains that you don’t seem to be able to answer. If Peretz got injured against Preston we don’t go up. It’s that simple. If that scenario played out Tonda would get questioned as to why risk him.

The same people claiming mass hysteria are the same people praying we make 4th to get a 8:00pm kick off instead of 12:30. I know what I think is more mass hysteria.

Get over yourself for fucks sake. How far back did you have to trawl through to see that. Let’s be honest pal you had no fucking idea if he’d be any good or not, neither did I, I’m delighted he’s turned out to be brilliant but let’s not play the high and mighty here because your guess, which is what it was after a handful of games, happened to be correct. Forgive the rest of us after years of terrible management decisions, for having strong reservations. You’re not some Revolutionary genius. As for playing the game at a high standard, pray tell mr high and mighty, what level did you play at? Nice essay though, glad to know you don’t take things personally and don’t hold onto posts from months ago.
 

Personally I think what you’re suggesting  in this instance is ridiculous but don’t let that in the way of a personal dig and dredging up something from months ago that is totally irrelevant to what we’re discussing now. You need to accept when someone disagrees and stop getting so hurt and precious. You come across as a complete self entitled clown almost every time you post. No offence though

So do we go up if Peretz gets injured or not?

We probably wouldn’t but you could say that about any player ever anywhere, injuries are a risk for any player at any time, doesn’t mean we rest them for games that are still semi important and just blindly worry without due cause . And it also doesn’t make you correct for suggesting we almost throw the match just because we’re terrified of key players getting injured. Do city win the league without Haaland? What if he gets injured? You can use that argument about any key player for any side.  
 

We don’t just suddenly run scared of selecting our best players, if they don’t need a rest, just in case they get injured. Players will be rested if they need a rest, if they don’t they’ll play. It’s literally as simple as that. We don’t just play the second string as you were originally  suggesting. But yeah, I’m clearly not very bright obviously. Neither is anyone else here who’s ridiculing your advocation of playing the kids at Preston.

For the record also, us not very bright ones here realise finishing 4th is advantageous due to having the second leg at home, not the time of the kick off. The EFL also think that, hence rewarding the higher finishing play off teams with that clear advantage of playing at home in the 2nd leg. Geniuses like you though seem to disagree and don’t care if we play at home or away first. May want to tell that to the EFL as clearly it doesn’t matter so they need to re think their reward policy for teams finishing 3rd or 4th

The same Haaland who was rested Saturday, until Pep felt he needed him?

[Verbal]

Will it help if I have a rest too?

Not sure what Haaland being on the bench for an FA cup game against a team from the league below, has got to do with discussing a scenario about potentially resting him for league games incase he gets injured in the less important ones and it ruins their chances of winning the league, to mirror your stance on Peretz.  We rested players in the cup too, against lesser teams in earlier rounds, and rightly so. Pretty sure pep didn’t rest Haaland as he was shit scared of him getting injured against us, as you seem to be with peretz this weekend, so Not sure what your point is there.

We could rest Peretz for Preston and then he gets injured in the warm up for the first leg of the playoffs. If players need a rest, fine, but don't over think things.

Oh god don’t say that, you’ll get told you’re clearly not very bright by those with higher IQ’s than you or I. You need to have played at a high level in the game to be astute enough to realise that getting injuries are far more likely in a match situation and therefore randomly resting Peretz for fear of injury during Saturdays match, is a decision that only the truly brilliant minds in the game will understand

Tell you what you visionary genius.

Come back to us at 11:15 on Saturday when the teams are announced and let us know how close it is to this abomination you are recommendeding here:

You and you alone identified Tonda as a good manager so no doubt you'll be bang on correct here and we'll all bow to your fucking foresight.

Tick tock.

Look I’ve been to Preston before and I know what they’re like. I don’t want Peretz getting rabies from one of their CBs whilst defending a corner.

You clearly haven’t played the game to a good standard like he has, to be making these sort of comments.

 

That well known player “U21”  is a tremendous centre back coming through the ranks though, I’ll give him that. So much knowledge of the squad that he’s advocating putting a player he doesn’t even know exists into the heart of our defence in a game that will determine where we finish within the top 6, whilst calling others “not very bright” . The irony

To be honest I thought U-21 was one of those robots that was running the android marathon the other day.

Not going to shag the Mrs for the next 3 days as she’s promised me anal on Sunday , so going to rest up until then and turn down any advances beforehand, incase I pull a hammy or groin during regular intercourse and miss out on the main event. It’s the sensible thing to do to ensure the right result

[LiberalCommunist]

What a lovely analogy. That you for that.

I already stated that the team would not be this, that’s what I would prefer it to be for the reasons I’ve outlined. It will not be full strength by any means but obviously won’t be this. Did you miss that point?
