Fixture congestion over xmas

[David Hodgson]

Just looked at the very winnablebut tightly packed xmas fixture list. A real chance for us to gain ground but the experiences of keeping a settled side when we played Chelsea, Wigan and Stoke in 7 days shows we need to be resting people.

 

2 theoretical teams then, to alternate with :

 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

You only started this so you could play with that formation thingy

(sigh)

 

It was a factor. Same team 3 times in 7 days. Not an excuse overall, but showed the value of rotation.

Don't judge me Macca.

Hey! This formation thingy is the greatest thing I've ever discovered and I shared it with the rest of you. Be kind to it.

Give over, pictures are good.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

[Gary Wolf]

While Gerrard is fit, he'll be in both teams.

[smithdown]

Mindless thread.

You've created a monster.

Stick 10 cones and a keeper in shirts for the away games, same number of points, passion, mobility - and still the players' and Rafa's fault!!!
