Back into Europe this week. Totally different occassion. Hope we field a strong line-up, but I can imagine Emery will think about the Man Utd game on Sunday.
This will be harder then some think. Definitely rotate a few. Play Torreira, Ozil, Maitland Niles, Cech, Mustfi in this game. Give Kos or Sokratis a rest. No Laca is a big blow.
2-0 win would be nice. I’d like to finish this tie off in the first leg if we can. But Rennes have a few good players. So we need to be careful.
Rotation. We have United next weekend. Might be a good idea to keep Leno fresh. We shouldn’t be needing our strongest XI against Rennes. Mind you I said the same v BATE.
Well I certainly didn’t think he had that kind of save in his locker and he seems to be doing better than his last year or so at Leverkusen, but time will tell. Hopefully he’ll have many performances like that, then i’ll be fully on his train.
Reminder that Ben ‘The Baller’ Arfa will be on his best form to make sure Emery(and coincidentally Arsenal) get embarassed. Let’s not take them lightly.
