    We don't know weeks to months in advance the likely form of
    each opponent either. Any manager with decent squad mgmt
    nous should be able to plot out potential team rotations
    in advance, making adjustments depending on squad injuries +
    recent opponent form.

    The Pochettino era caused a stall in the academy pipeline.
    The club is nowhere near where things were 11+ years ago.

    So apart from Roma being winless on the road since April, on their third manager of the season, having a squad packed with players we missed out on in past transfer windows and their club therapist quitting this morning after less than three weeks in the job, how confident are we feeling this evening...?

    Will we ever see the kid given a chance to play in his natural position

    Have to say, it is nice to see the name King in the squad again...

    Finishing in the Top 8 sees us go straight into the Ro16 and avoid a playoff round, so banking the points takes priority after the Galatasaray nonformance

    Paul O'Keefe said the other day that he needs 4-5 weeks rest. I'm hoping he meant total and not extra on top of what he's already missed.
