In both domestic legue games, our starters have had to come in at some point to prop things up. For eg.,
I see no reason why Vidal should've played 45 mins yesterday after the Chelsea ankle scare, or why Vucinic was played for 90 mins on the back of the Chelsea match, prior to which he spent one half against Genoa.
I can see Giachh proving to be a very important component of our machine despite his decision making, his running will be essential. We should be very intelligent with our forward rotation too. The next three matches are essentially going to define where we stand in terms of depth given that we've got some new faces and a new style of play to get them accustomed to. As things stand, I'm not entirely convinced that our depth is awesome, as good as it looks on paper. Vidal Marchisio and Pirlo need sufficient rest before the Shaktar game, and conte/Carrera need to figure a way out to bring Marrone up to speed with the squad because he's going to have multiple roles to play. Hopefully, Pepe should also figure at some point even if there's no 433, coz guys like him and Giacch have tireless running in them and that's going to be a huge tempo booster when we rest our starters.
