CL on Weds and Newcastle on Saturday.

That's not the point. Deccers ( God help us) is supposedly one of the best players in the world, yet he's only played half-a-dozen CL games in his life. His England partner Bellers ( ) on the other hand has played way more; about thirty, I think, and he's still practically a teenager. And they weren't ALL knock-out matches against Real Madrid and Barcelona neither.
"Easy" games, easy goals against cannon fodder; that's what the top players want, that's why you sign them, that's why they want to play for you. You work your *******s off against the good teams and when the rubbish come around, they want to "rest" you. **** that.
Stat-padding the youngsters call it. Know-nothing ****s.
