If you don’t manage minutes and effort it eventually catches up with you. It’s easy for the big turnover clubs with large squads to manage, for us, we’ve got to be careful and our lower tempo almost continental style is the way to do it. The benefit will be felt when we’re still strong in the title run in and challenging for European Glory.

Compare the end of last season where we finished strongly, with the exception of at OT, and the previous conference league season where we were running on fumes to cross the line.

Agree with all this. Can’t get too exercised about Europa League performances when we have won 5/6. We need to avoid those two extra games.

Look at how inconsistent Spurs and Newcastle are due to additional ECL demands. Everton and Palace with much thinner squads are doing better.

Not disagreeing with your point, but I think we have decent strength and should be able to manage the players’ minutes.

Mings, Pau, Digne, Buendia, Malen, and Barkley are senior pros that weren’t selected yesterday. Bogarde looks decent and needs minutes.  There’s a risk we will become stretched for attacking players as Guessand, Sancho, and Elliot are underwhelming, but even here we can repurpose Barkley and Tielemans to add some depth.

Which is fair comment DL. I suppose what separates us from the likes of Newcastle, Man U and Spurs is the bang for buck we get from our squad as opposed to them. And that’s down to one man and his back room team and their management and coaching of the team.
