Agree, got to prioritize and be realistic with the team of players we have to pick from right now. We do have too many players but not enough good enough players to provided for good team cover.
League is all, would not be bothered about Sunday too much if it were not for rat naysmith, rats need to be sorted.
I'd be concerned if we got lucky in Europe and progressed with this squad as it is, keep in mind we lost the league and all Seville year with greater cover. rangers when they existed also lost the league and all the year they got pumped in Manchester.
Assuming that is BR's conclusion and he has rested players for more important concerns then he has realistically made the correct call regardless of outcome.
