If Ramsey and Bailey are off we need at least 3 in (Asensio, wide forward, and centre back). We are very light right now, we could do with a couple of the youngsters stepping up but that is a big ask.

I don’t see how Newcastle ‘will struggle’ with CL games, but we won’t with our EL games ?
The same pressure is on both teams to play the same number of group games.

In theory they'll be unable to rotate as much as they'll be playing stronger opponents, while we can field out U15s against the Dog n Duck from Luxembourg, And they currently have no striker.

Whilst we won't be able to have a Europe squad and a seperate league squad like Chelsea did because we don't have 400 players, when we do rest players we might actually win. (Although will we do it against Brugge again?) Also in theory we will play more teams we can dominate possesion over which is less demanding on the players.
