The whole point of having good players is to play them in the European Cup.
Are you suggesting that, if fully fit, a professional footballer plays a football twice in one week?
what the f**k is wrong with some people
"Englische Wochen."
why it's supposed to be a squad game. Let Arteta start tomorrow.
Forgetting for a second the old adage that the most important game for a football team is the next one, but if you compare the two scenarios then it is easy to see why one could argue the importance of tomorrow night.
In terms of group qualification which is so important to many, for differing reasons, tomorrow night is not far off a must win game giving the debacle that was Zagreb. We would then have a double header v Bayern Munich to try and salvage points, not an easy challenge.
Next Sunday is hugely important of course but a defeat, to take the worst case scenario, is no disaster in the bigger picture of the PL – 6 points off the lead with 30 games to go, certainly no panic buttons being hit yet.
If Coquelin is fully fit, and that is the only issue here, then he has to play tomorrow night and then Sunday is dealt with in sequence.
