Cup run of four games in nine days exasperates Warburton


Recommended Posts

I think that people need to realise that while the league is more important and the LC is maybe becoming a sideshow, if Warburton doesn't qualify for the knockout stages, the flack from the fans won't be pretty...

A cups, a cup.....The (potentially) strongest team should be played at all times (IMHO)

 

While I agree that it's important, there is also the long view and so playing our strongest team every week, no matter the competition, is probably counter productive. With this many games we need a bit of squad rotation - and there's also all the gelling as a team and introducing new players, blooding youths, and keeping everyone motivated.

 

So it's it's a tough task to balance all that.

Can someone remind me what the qualification process is out of these groups? Winner only, top two?

 

8 groups

12 qualify (ie. 4 best 2nd placed sides)

 

12 + 4 (teams in Europe) = 16 for next round
