What the fuck were that fairy tales from Conte that Coppa is so important for us this year and that we can still make history by winning three titles????????? And more,we will be wiped out in Europa League.Just wait and see.Wiped out.

check out last years DFB-Pokal - quarter-finals line-up. Bayern vs Dortmund.

United however do field subs, the others don't unless they are confident of victory.
It would be interesting to note if Bayern fielded their strongest lineup in the very next game because in fairness,even their B-team has the quality to bulldoze the league.On their bench they have the likes of Shaqiri and a whole host of players used in rotation such as Mueller,Kroos,Thiago etc.

While we on the other hand have Gio and Quag as our prominent depth options.It makes a difference imo.

the team that played yesterday had a much higher probability of success against Lazio than Roma, and would have probably prevailed imo, even if it didn't we did still have points advantage and ability to recover. Roma match was a knockout and Roma are a much much better team than Lazio, Juve deserved a better team.

Barca and RM do it all the time too, they'll always field their strongest team any game, even if sometimes they are playing low tier teams in Coppa Del Rey games.

Wait. So people are happy we disregard the coppa? You're acting as though we are in the CL semis and these trophies are beneath us. No, we got humiliated in the CL and should have given this competition some respect.

Or at the very least, let Conte come out and say this cup is for fringe players. Instead of giving us false hope.

FYI the likes of Messi always play when fit. Because pro footballers can cope with 2 games in 5 days. Shocking as that may sound.

When we have a squad(and depth) matchable to the likes of Madrid,Barca,Bayern and we are still faltering in competitions like this then,then i will debate this point.

I personally dont believe this team has enough quality in depth to be able to win three competitions ,doesnt matter if we are running away with the league right now because its still January.

We just lost a close away game against the second best team in Italy. They fielded their strongest team and we rested more than half our team.

I guess 99 % of the biggest clubs have shitty bench players then.
