Dunno, mate. No team gets through a whole season with a fixed 11 so it's a bit of an artificial thing to say that that 11 is good enough. It's a squad game these days and the fact is, our squad is simply not strong enough, IMHO.
Yeah i know mate - it was more a theortical question as i know we need more than just first 11 .

He's been waiting in the wings for a while and with the game being a dead rubber and with Johnson in need of a rest, it seemed as good an opportunity as any to give the lad a run out.

You seem keen to draw that conclusion? I feel a temptation to say you're talking b0llocks.....
Anyhow, it was just the one inexperienced reserve he fielded from the outset, hardly waving the white flag. One, incidentally, who many wanted to see - particularly those keen on seeing Rafa bring through local talent. What better fixture than a game against fairly good opposition, but where the result would ultimately be academic? With Johnson in need of a rest ahead of the Arsenal game, it couldn't have been a more apt opportunity.
Besides, if he truly wasn't ars'ed about the result he wouldn't have fielded a team that contained 6 or 7 regulars, bringing on Torres and Pacheco late on to try and get the win.

Bearing in mind it is only really Aquilani and Johnson for Alonso and Arbeloa from last season, I think the answer is 'probably not'. Still need goals, but for Kuyt's spanking form last season would we have even come as close as we did? It would be presuming waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy to much that Aquilani will be the difference, also bearing in mind he was the only player missing for the early part of the campaign when we were poor on the whole.
Results by quality of opposition
ARS/MNU/CHE/TOT/MNC : P5 W1 D1 L3 (Won 20.00%)
AVL/FUL/BIR/EVE/SUN/FIO/OLY : P9 W1 D2 L6 (Won 11.11%)
BLA/WHU/LEE/HUL/BOL/DEB/BUR/STO : P9 W8 D1 L0 (Won 88.89%)
You could argue about who should be in the top, middle or bottom bracket, but West Ham, Bolton, Hull and bitters are in the bottom six, Debrecen lost all six games and we were the only side that didn't score 4+ goals in their wins, lids are in league one, we comfortably stuffed Stoke and Burnley although you could argue they and Blackburn are decent sides if you want to believe it.
Our best form this season was when we won six games in a row in all competitions, that included Debrecen, Leeds, West Ham, Hull, Bolton and Burnley none of whom are or would be in the top 13 in the Premiership.
Never buy from PC World, product quality is poor and their 'customer service' is even poorer
