Firmino is in the squad for Leg 1. Probably healthy enough to start.

I actually quoted it above (what I assume ten Hag was responding to):I love how you tell me what Pochettino said without having seen the press conference. That is flat out lovely.
Anyway. Not important. It is a non story.
If this isn't what was said and the sky article is wrong then I take it back."The reality is they are going to have more time to prepare and avoid risk. When you play Saturday and Tuesday, and the game on Saturday is a derby, playing for big things, the concentration and effort is massive. You can have some problems.

Look, I'm not looking to argue. You keep saying it's a non-story and so on but you're hellbent on trying to say he doesn't think it's unfair, or that's not really what he said. I thought ten Hag had a good response, and so did a lot of people. At the end of the day saying that he would believe it's unfair if it was the reverse doesn't mean that he doesn't think it's unfair (oh the negatives) because Spurs are in that position, not Ajax. So yes he thinks it's unfair for his team; saying he would think it would be unfair to Ajax if it were reversed doesn't change that.There is a context and for some reason, even after I have told you what he said, you choose to go with half of the reflection.
Sanchez having a bit of a sophomore slump, but I would not throw him in the bin yetSanchez hasn't been good in London? I rarely see him play these days, but he was a beast with Ajax during their domestic seasonand UEFA Cup final run.

I'd be interested to see if there's some kind of scientific data on the effects of having say a couple weeks break between intense training/games and continuous play. As much as the gametime ends up being about the same I'm inclined to believe giving your body that rest period is better for the player to reset and recharge.
Anyone want to jump on the bandwagon?
