Exactly. They give us a marginally better chance of winning today but that chance is only relevant for the maybe 10% of the time that PSG fails to take care of business and even if all that happens the end result is only to put us in Pot 1 versus Pot 2, which is a marginally better chance of getting a good draw in the R16.

Hope we win and PSG fuck up. COYG
Agree that Giroud should be starting though. Over Alexis

In case you didnāt realise finishing top is totally out of our hands.
I can get the rest, but Sanchez starting is ridiculous, especially after Wenger moaned about Chileās use of him.
Itās not like itās rest Sanchez and play a youth team player instead, what has Giroud got to do to get a game? Heās more than capable of playing against Basel.

You donāt think overplaying key players and not rotating effectively is poor management? Weāve already lost a key player in Santi because he was not rotated effectively, overplayed and not given different regimen.
Youād think a manager of a club with a history of persistent muscle injury problems derailing our title challenge every year would approach things like player fitness and injury prevention with the utmost caution. But no he refuses to learn, heās too dogmatic for his own good and it going to cost this club again

But Sanchez wants to play. Just like he wanted to play for Chile. Theyāre professional footballers, they should be able to handle 2 games in a week.
In this situation Wenger is damned if he does, damned if he doesnāt.
We have 3 league games coming up in 8 days including trips to Everton and City, pretty poor choice to needlessly make it 4 games in 12 days for our key players.

And no I donāt think putting a decent team out in order to try and win a football match is bad management
On the bright side, apart from Gabriel this team should be attacking as fuck. Iām going for 1 - 7. Perez quadtrick.

Well weāll see if we get any injuries. No point in just assuming we will.
This post is very ignorant of the process involved in determining when a player requires rest, and when a player does not.
You donāt keep players wrapped in cotton wool, only to be brought out for vital gamesā¦
Furthermore, the club invest an awful lot of money into injury prevention, Iām confident itās something they are very well aware of.
I also donāt want to hear the excuses like " We were a little fatigued " " Played a little bit with hand break on " if we put in an average performance against say an Everton next week.

Alright friends, lets get the three points for all purposes, COYG!
caster just said Basel have beaten Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea since 2011. cba looking it up but sounds surprising.
Celtic take the lead vs City meanwhile.
Anyone else use MDC on the mobile?

It is indeed true. Just checked. They beat Spurs on penalties. And they beat Man United in 2011 when United failed to get out of their CL group.
