Key is to keep the star players fresh for Tuesday, this result is of no consequence with a home game and spudz away to come and one point needed (to be fourth on GD) Our reserves showed they can get a result at Fulham, brum should be more testing, but really the players should be given the weekend off, maybe a bit of training and tactical planning, so they can focus on what needs to be done. Again I just hope Rafa doesn't give way to temptation and change the side, the slight tinkering over the past couple of CL legs has been costly to varying degrees - cost us a bad start at home to Arsenal, and the reshuffle last night meant Riise came on as Arbeloa was already on.And as things are shaping up the fixtures that Chelsea whinged about are working in their favour. Had our game been tonight and then on Tuesday we'd have gained an advantage as they are playing their strongest squad as they compete on two fronts. They had a couple of extra days recovery by playing Thursday and have the maximum recovery time possible between playing the mancs and us next week.
