if we play that, we have way too many people we want to sub to give them some kind of rest before Spurs.

Dybala surely won't be able to play 90mins, Licht, Pjanič and Matuidi already played 90 mins against Atalanta, Costa and Sandro also played almost a full game against Atalanta. It's not impossible to play 3 full games in 7 days, but these are the guys we don't want to be dead tired in Wembley around the hour mark.

If we're serious about CL, we should start either Matuidi for Sturaro or Pjanič for Bentancur. We also cannot start all 3 of Costa, Dybala and A.Sandro, there're no attacking options on the bench left.

No. If we lose to Lazio and Napoli wins we are 7 points behind. We have to field the strongest possible lineup in both games; apart from injuries these players are more than capable of playing three games in a week. It's a mental thing not physical.

Are they capable? Yes. Will they be fresh for the more important game? No. Healthy rotating should improve your chances of succeeding, thats what guys like Sturaro and Bentancur are there for.

These two games will define our season, if we lose both (and Napoli wins) we have to settle with Coppa Italia. You rotate in and around your most important games, but you field your strongest lineup when it matters.

how is it more important than any other of the remaining Serie A games? only a loser would give up with a 4 point difference and a h2h still to be played.

As previously experienced; I can't help you with your comprehension.
Even if you think so, you can still elaborate on why you think Lazio away will define our season, it's not forbidden to formulate your opinion decently once in a while ;) If we lose the next one after Lazio, it'll create the same gap with Napoli. We've run into super tight schedule with a game every 3 days and you're suggesting to rest neither of our starters for 2 games straight, that's madness

We cant afford to drop anymore points untill the end of the season napoli dont look like slipping any time soon. We are the only team that will beat them.
We can beat them, but there's no guarantee that we will. Roma, Inter, and Milan might also take points off them, depending on which version of those teams shows up, and what form they're in ;)
