Nailing qualification for next seasons CL is an absolute must and we're in the perfect position to guarantee that provided we don't don't lose our focus in the league over the next couple of games.
Losing focus in the league woof? FFS that happened months ago.
Personally I'm not happy at merely qualifying for the Champions League every season, I'd rather we win it. And knackering or risking injuries to our best players in a game that probably doesn't matter in the long run (as Everton are in free-fall) is not the way to achieve that.
Couldn't agree more mate, my sentiments exactly.
