I see Tuchel appears to be complimenting us; calls us an emotional team, a popular club, a physical side, good on counters & set-pieces & we don’t give in.
Mentions everything but us also having ability. So, personally, I think those comments are a bit insulting.
On a normal Sunday my shift - 639 - starts at 4:14pm so I could watch the match then dash off to work. Checked the sheets yesterday and because there's engineering work this weekend 639 has been brought forward to a 3:20pm start.
Second weekend in a row when I only get to see the first half!
For me, main thing today, be brave. Go for it. Attack them. We have the back-up of the Europa League so let’s go for 3 points. Get beat, get beat. Spurs only drawing, Man Utd losing. Great chance to close on 5th.
I think he feels we would lose with our main team with so few centre backs fit so doesn’t want key players hurt for Thursday so try fo a result but accept this game is not season defining
Even if Moyes has all eyes on Europe (which I agree he should), I’d still like to see Rice, Bowen and Antonio getting some minutes even it’s just 30 mins. Good to get some running in their legs and to keep their sharpness up for next Thursday. If they don’t play at all, they’d have had quite a long period without kicking a ball since the Burnley game.
It's a risk from Moyes, there is a chance we could get Europa from the league position this season...but it'll be hard given we have to play Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City....that on top of the fact we have 1 fit CB
But if we win the Europa....we get champions league...the payoff is massive

Johnson - Dawson - Cresswell
Coufal - Soucek - Noble - Masuaku
Fornals - Benrahma
Yarmolenko
Areola, Alese, Fredericks, Rice, Kral, Lanzini, Vlasic, Bowen, Antonio
Don’t agree with resting Rice, Bowen & Antonio at once.
As Moyes has made so many changes it would have been good to see Alese get a game. Let us hope Dawson doesn't get injured and we nick a goal.
It will either be a Moyes' tactical masterclass or a disaster.
All that will happen is we’ll play our biggest game in years on Thursday & four key players won’t have played much football for nearly 2 weeks.
Thursday and Europa is the priority
