Another inhibiting factor which has more to with bad luck than any conspiracy theory is after playing the home tie, we have to face Watford away (which will be tough especially as we are fighting for fourth position and we will have to take it seriously) whilst Napoli will face Chievo who are cut adrift and rock bottom of their league and to boot, Napoli are comfortably sitting second in their league without any threat of falling out of the Champion’s League places. They can therefore conceivably rest players for our away tie. SMDH.

Europa is on Thursday

We play Napoli on Thursday before as well, so playing Monday gives us most time between the two Europa games.

Surely the club will petition for delay of Watford match or bring it forward to Sunday we need more than 24hrs to recover.

Monday is not ideal even if we play Thursday.

Either is Sunday, and Saturday is impossible. That is the problem with being Europe.

What is your solution?

It's a small price to pay for the TV deals.

The money TV pay to the PL clubs have strips us of any right to moan about the fixtures.

That’s life.

I remember we had a tough Europa match against Fiorentina on Thursday night than had a cup final v Chelsea on the Sunday.

You won't need to worry past Napoli in this comp...

I also recall spurs bottling a CL game with a scratch side last term in order to save your best 11 to play us - which you also lost...

The only solution is to be better so you’re in the CL and not playing on fking Thursdays. Or I suppose you could be worse and forget the whole Europe thing altogether.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lloris
Trippier Dier Wimmer Rose
Wanyama Winks Dembele
Dele Son
Kane

Yep definitely second string It’s literally 3 players missing in Verts, Walker & Eriksen ( Toby was injured. )

Dier had played that whole season a CB anyway.

You should have beaten Monaco then...
