Injury can occur whether you play a lot or a little.

Start him off the bench and throw him in second half if the score isn't going our way

Anyone of those primavera players strikes? Can't see either Amari or DP playing 90 (I know Martinez will get some time in place of one)

Why?If you think that they can't handle it physically then I disagree.

It's not so much about how many minutes you play. It's about how many kms you run and how much energy you use. Against Inter, for example, our attacker will have to move all the time and run some 10-11km in 90 minutes if he wants to stand a chance against their defense. Our midfielders will have to run even more than that.

But against a smaller team, that usually runs 7-8km on average (per player) then DP and Amauri won't be required to use that much energy either, and they can run 7-8km too.
Take the Lech match for example. Del Piero had no problem playing the full 90 minutes there and even score a cracker late in the match. You couldn't say that he can't play 90 minutes there, because he obviously could. Against a strong team which leaves him less space and will require him to run twice more in the opening 60 minutes, then of course he won't have the speed, nor the energy, to play in the last 20-30 minutes.

If you meant that DN will not give them 90 minutes, just to give them some rest, then ignore the above :D

He was a disaster against Poznan. He just booted it up the pitch every time he was near the ball, we struggled to create anything from the back and that was part of the reason we weren't keeping possession.

Furthermore, I'm not sure about not playing Krasic at all. Without Aquilani and him where exactly is the creativity coming from? What I'm worried about here is a repeat of Poznan where we played the wrong players and in turn, saw the wrong result. Plus Krasic has said he needs more game time anyway because he's not 100% fit.

    True, I remember that, but I think the man needs some minutes to get into the chemistry. A couple of games and he'll be set on.

    Our best 3 players missing from this line-up. I wonder how will that turn out in the end.

    Will be interesting to see how good we cope without them. Specially Krasic. Hopefully we'll show that we can be a team and play good, no matter who is missing in the starting 11. Since we should be able to do this if we want to get results, can't afford to become attached to a couple of players to win a game.
