nerd talk coming up:
Been looking at weekend games for betting purposes and this being a CL week you gotta look more intently.
I find it cute that these "other league" teams end up playing almost different XIs in the league, and it almost always backfires. Galatasaray has made me laugh most. They've tried Drogba/Sneijder and replaced everyone else (drew 1-1 at home), they've tried leaving all the international players on the field, with all the 1st squad Turks on the bench, and that failed at well (1-1 at home). Looking forward to seeing what they try today, probably leave the Turks and take out the international players?
Even Shakhtar don't have the depth they once did and have been slipping up routinely in away matches before CL but are still in it.
PSG can afford to leave a few out due to league weakness, Chelsea/City can afford to leave a few out, their depth is unparalleled.
-But these leagues are competitive leagues that won't end up costing these teams for a draw here or there.
In a very top heavy league you can fukk up by doing this, Plzen have slipped up and let Sparta Praha take an early lead, and have some ground to make up (7 points).
So I take it you haven't read any of the many previous Mollywatr threads that the Nigerian has posted before.
