If we play too many kids, is there are a risk of an EPL inquiry and points deduction, given the importance of the game? How would we feel if we were in Spurs/Brentford's situation?

I think we'll play a strongish team, play the same way as ever, Villa will sit back and play the Emery way and try and do us on the break.

Ideal outcome: We win, Leeds beat Spurs (or draw), Brentford beat City, Leicester win, Everton lose (or draw). Brentford in Europe, Leeds and Everton relegated.

Nope. Put pressure on Everton, I say. Best result is for Leicester to win and others to lose, but I would take Everton to go down ahead of Leeds all day.
I don't get this really,.... very few non Leeds fans would wish them success,..... they are the most bigoted and entitled bunch of thugs ever to grace the football pyramid, long may they decline and Elland Road deteriorate into a doss house for the W Yorkshire homeless.

I know we wont because it is not De Zerbi's style, but I would love it if we time waisted from the first minute no end of , sore toes, sore heads. Steel bashing grass from his boots, then needs a drink before every goal kick. The game aginst them at the Amex was one of, if not the worst game for time waisting I have ever seem. Them desperate to win I would love it if they didn't.

Blimey, we started with three players aged 20 or under on Wednesday and brought another teenager on (as well as playing two 21-year-olds). I'm not saying playing a whole team of kids but playing four of them should be OK

However we SAY we're going to approach this, I'm minded to think that once the game starts we'll take it easy. We have absolutely NOTHING to play for. We've celebrated twice in the past week. Most of the players put in a huge shift v Man City, and were pretty knackered anyway. It'll likely be quite warm and sunny.

Plus - Villa will be right up for it, and the home crowd will be loud.

I'm hoping to be proved wrong, but I expect we'll lose by two or three.

PS: If anyone REALLY believes that there's a pro-Spurs conspiracy, then at least we'll have the ref on our side!

Firstly when the team was announced Wednesday especially when the City team was also announced most of us would have been really surprised. US putting out youngsters is what we do.

Secondly worrying about what Spurs, the cheating fuckwits, will be the very last thought on my mind.

Has @Bozza finally confirmed that it was definitely Spurs who bribed the match officials in that game yet? :jester:

Getting 1 up and then doing as you say would be nice.

They won't be able to, because we'll win.

Man City rested 8 players last weekend - did they get points deduction?
Next season with Europe on top of the workload, we will be switching 5 or 6 players every match.
