You can have as many "kids" as you want, I thought?

But allowance is only paid for the first two.

My contact on l'Equipe reckons we'll have too much forcthem. He says our squad is stronger and they're concentrating on the league.

Interesting

You would think its same for us. But i thought the French FA agreed to help with their congestion of fixtures by moving their games? Surely if thwyd idnt care aboyt this competition as much they wouldnt have done that?

Not questioning you btw just thw info being fed back to you

Not convinced they won't be concentrating on this competition, especially as they have a week off league action in between the 2 legs, and they'll want to try and win a first major European trophy. There was not much sign of them resting players in the first match of the previous round either.

Moving European games away from league ones cuts both ways. If its helping you in Europe, its helping you in the league.

Yes, although it's for all the French sides; so PSG and Marseille have been given the same benefit. However, it shows that's the French FA and their clubs are taking it seriously, or at least the clubs are not being given an excuse not to take it seriously.

French also have only 34 matches a season I believe instead of 38, and do they only have one cup competition. So for them to "help" the teams for I assume the knockout stages only does seem overkill.

Agree with that. Could you see the english FA doing ut for any of our clubs? Not a chance.

Thats exactly my thoughts.  I think lille will take this seriously.  I think whoever wins this game will be finalists so why not go for it? Im sure unai will take this very seriously

This really is our best chance for a trophy

"Emery confirms that Clément Lenglet is unavailable for tomorrow with a small injury.

The boss adds that Matty Cash is still working individually following his injury, but he is close to a return to training with the group."

As you were then defensively for tomorrow

Other than Digne/Moreno, we have no other options for the other 3 slots.

Absolute madness. We have a far better chance of CL next season if England wins more co-efficient points than junking them in the hope of finishing fourth.

Edit: you might be joking, sorry if so.

"Emery confirms that Clément Lenglet is unavailable for tomorrow with a small injury - but is hopefully the amputated leg will grow back"

The boss adds that Matty Cash is still working individually following his injury, but he is close to a return to training with the group - just as soon as medical advancements allow"

FTFY

Let's not go all Martin O'Neill and get knocked out of Europe resting everyone to try and get in to Europe next year.
