I actually think Maresca is right and is ahead in his understanding of the modern game.
You can't play your best team all season through all league, cup and European football.
If players start to understand this and mentally prepare to play some games and miss others it could beer a huge advantage for them and the club.
I'm more and more detached from modern football and don't like this rotation policy but it's quite simply necessary in the modern game.
I can see more subs in the future and even different squads for different competitions like the League Cup and FA Cup.
It's all very American, I don't like it but I think Maresca is ahead of the curve.

Bring back muddy pitches and long ball and hooliganism and players having steak before the game and getting the bus to training real death trap terraces rather than the woke safe standing nonsense and Chelsea struggling to get 10,000 in and making it through four competitions with only nine players while doing shifts down the pit in between and nobody wearing replica shirts and absolutely rampant racism/homophobia/sexism and the train windows being smashed in as you arrive. This is what Labour and the wokes have taken from you.
Maybe not the racism. Pikey chants are fine as is singing “where’s your caravan” to any player with long-ish hair.

I think he’s a decent manager. The Pompey link wouldn’t help but you could do a lot worse. Knows the league and all that.
It'd be a disaster mate. He'd got no leeway whatsoever and fans would be after him after one defeat.
Be beyond daft to appoint a Pompey fan after the worst run in the entire history of the club. Wouldn't put it past this lot
Id have picked him as Swansea's next manager when they sack Sheehan tomorrow after Ipswich beat them.
Him or Carrick.
Swansea won't pay either enough though, so we'll get Joe Allen after a reasonably successful caretaker period in which they win two games out of eight.
More importantly they’ve moved our game to 8pm in Feb.
My last train is 22:20 so quite tight but I see it’s not that much further to walk to Woolston which gives me an extra ten to catch the train. Better off heading there?
Yeah I'd say so. Woolston is probably closer now the away end is other side of ground.
I did that walk last week funnily enough. 15 minutes if you're a quick walker, just use the cycle lanes on the bridge to overtake slow people.
We have a 12:30 at Hull. I’d love for them to release viewing figures. Saw Crewe fans moaning about Crawley away being moved.
I'm probably insane but I'm actually tempted by Stoke. Can get direct train for less than £60 return currently if book on specific trains.
Thay would mean relying on cross country though and no doubt the train back will be 4 carriage only and therefore ****ing rammed.
The ground itself and nowadays around it is… fine. Boring but fine. There was a particularly hostile game we won there where one of the buses ferrying fans back to the station got stuck on a roundabout and people started trying to tip it over but that was a long time ago and it’s smooth and quick back to the station on the buses with a police escort.
City is crap and it’s that bus or long walk down the canal (a reasonably nice walk) to and from the ground. Possibly the bleakest city I’ve been to in the UK. The vaguely better area seems to be in the wrong direction from the station to the ground.
I've been before but got a lift and we parked at the harvester near the ground so didn't go in the actual city.
Would probably prefer the walk to being ferried on buses. Think they've moved the away end now?
Just to the other side of the same stand I believe, away from the tunnel. It’s a pleasant canal with little boats selling oatcakes and not like there’ll be trouble for a 12:30 with Southampton. Weather will be more than likely **** though. I usually walk there and bus back.
