Good point on old man Milner
I've changed my mind, although, the clubs medical staff will know how many games in a row the players are up to playing, even after 2 weeks off, it's 2 days rest, followed by just another 2 days rest, so I'd rotate more and start with a few more on the bench as we want as many as possible at 100% for the first leg v Inter, a competition we have a far greater chance of winning than the Premier League this season, although I haven't given up on the Quadruple.
I thought Bobby has an awful game last time out, need him for set pieces in this one in my opinion and to keep other legs fresher, it is a squad game and for me we're going to have to use the squad rather than risk overplaying certain players at this stage of the season and ahead of the first leg of the Champions League last 16 and an upcoming Wembley final
As ever all the focus on each next game, of course, but we have to consider the schedule and manage the player appropriately
I was 'of a mind' that maybe they could play all 3 and we could rest a few v Norwich, but, it's a non starter
