Just wondering if we should rest a couple for this, maybe Kev, but superkev seems super fit so is it best to play him every game?
Same with Silva
Or just keep a winning team ?
I would just keep a winning team, as we never know when injury will strike giving players an enforced rest. I think Pep has a policy of resting key players by taking them off 15 minutes early on occasions, when possible.
Best policy is to score a few as early as possible, so we can then cruise a bit without playing at full pelt.
It might be a good game for Fernandinho to get a fifth yellow so he serves a suspension against West Ham and is fighting fit for the rags.
Playing the same layer all the time with rest; remember what happened with Geraud at Liverpool, burnt out. do we want Kevin to go the same way ?
Kevin needs to be rested. To much expected from him, showed signs of tiredness on Sunday, also david
An edit to my post "player" as to opposed "layer"

Even resting one of them is a risk as we can look a bit toothless, as we did against Feyenoord for large parts of the game - Bernardo Silva is not yet close to the standard of his namesake.
Dinho definitely needs to get that 5th yellow tomorrow, otherwise leave him out against West Ham, he's a must-start for the derby.
Sane also 4 yellow cards so hopefully Pep will play both him and Fernandinho and tell them if they do not have a yellow with 15 minutes to go go foul someone and get booked.
Removes any worries of them missing the Derby or other key holiday games.
They'll get a rest in Ukraine but not against Southampton I suspect. As stated above, Bernard doesn't look ready to step in yet.
