both against Fulham & Olympiakos? I think he'll be rested and used against ManOilwell & Wigan. He can always be brought on for last 30 minutes if needed.
Wenger will field a good side in the Carling Cup. I'm pretty sure of this. On for 70 mins against Fulham, taken off then.
He'll definitely start against Fulham, substituted if we're doing well near the end. We've got two games coming up where we can rest him, City and the Greeks, so we can comfortably play him in the games that matter. I think he'll be on the bench for the City game though, might come on for the last twenty minutes if we're behind.
AW said the other day that RVP had tightness in the hammy a few weeks back which is why he was rested once or twice, he shouldn't play against City and there's absolutely no need to take him to Olympiacos let alone play him, so I'd give him a run against Fulham let him score his regulation brace and let him park up after...
Wenger called that decision right and I'd expect him to do the same in the near future. He's also talked about the process of trying to ensure that his squad get game time, as highlighted in SJW's match thread, so I think there's every reason to rest RVP and give Park or Chamakh a chance. I wouldn't want to see a winning team changed too much though, I think Diaby will start, the back four will probably be the same, so perhaps there's an opportunity for either Park or Chamakh.
Are you talking about the Fulham or Citeh game? I'd prefer if we played a full strength team tomorrow, a mixture against City and then preferably a full strength team against Wigan. Can't remember the last time we won at Wigan in the league and there's always the Olympiakos game to rest players afterwards.
Sorry, I meant the City game and possibly the Olympiakos game. Premier League games are by far and away the most important at the moment.
