Well people certainly can't say Roy doesn't take a chance with his rotation. That is a very iffy team to be going in with in terms of how many first teamers there is, and he is giving the actual first choice lads plenty of time to get some rest in.
Two observations. First, if I'm honest I'd quite like to have seen us play a strong team in order to get something going, get a win, score a few goals. Sure rest Torres and maybe Gerrard, but lets have another run out for Mereiles for instance, another tightener for Konchesky. Equally, we surely aren't going to persist with maxi on the right in the first team, so hopefully Pacheco is the next choice as it looks like he's playing tonight in there. Also, lets have a real proper look at the Greek tonight, and Agger. In central defence we've been poor so far, and at least one of these lads has to play for the first team I think.
Lastly I really lke the concept that we have a first team, and you've got to try and force your way into it. I think later in the season we may begin to see the benefits of the policy.
