I'll trust Bunce, Howe and the sports scientists call like :thup:

 

Sure. But if I were to make a stat about how often recurrences has happened for each club in the last 2 seasons, using percentages. We both know our percentage would be way above average.

By the way. Do you also automatically trust VAR decisions, as the people behind the screen are after all professional Premier League referees compared to us who are just fans?

No I don't, bit I've been given no reason to doubt Bunce. We've had a very low amount of injuries this session.

Eddie's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't in this case. The fans are desperate for a cup win so I can see why he rolled the dice. 

 

He's damned if he does in my view. Said in the pre-match I'd rather not risk anything for the sake of one game.

We are such a one man team at the moment, most of the others seem to havs forgotten how to play football.

He's just a different level to every other play in the team

He 100% can not start against West Ham IMO. I know people will say we have to take each game as it comes etc, but it’s clear Isak needs a rest and probably has 75  mins in him at best right now, and we need him for the full 90 against Liverpool. Even to the point of maybe ET because of his pens.
 

So for me, he needs a full rest.

The game is a week away?

And Liverpool game is like 5 days after. We’re not good at giving players a rest when they clearly need it, and this is a prime case. Got two back up strikers now, so rotation is needed. 
 

I said we should’ve rested Gordon against Liverpool, but nope that was frowned upon. Little point having squad players if we don’t use them, even if the ability is a drop at times. Freshness goes a long way at this point in season.

Just looked, and Birmingham is only game he’s not started this season when available. Across all comps, he’s started every game going. Which he’s had too because Wilson been fucked and Osula not trusted, but that’s got to change now Wilson is back or Osula giving more trust after 7 months training.

But we cant afford to rest Isak, we looked utterly toothless when he went off yesterday. He's got a full weeks rest now which will do him the World of good then another  5 full days before the final. 

 

Unless he's injured he has to start, if we're winning then bring him off. 

 

Agree with Gordon and Liverpool though, that seemed the perfect opportunity to give some a rest.

Hard to decide whether to rest anyone for the final, the chance of winning are low anyway but basically zero without Isak.

 

Three points against West Ham could easily turn out to be more important than the cup final, as sad as that is.
