Kind of like the break of cup before league.
I remember, during Klopp's time, used to Enjoy the CL action away from the robotic chase with City every week and figuring it who's playing firts etc.

I'll wait until work takes me to Grise Fiord and will eat a fermented walrus belly before striking back.
Well, we only have two as is.
International week that month.
If they overturn that many pts they can easily gobble up the GD.
There are five weekends in March?
Is it an extended International break?
Don't forget, two CL games as well and...
FA cup:
Fifth Round Proper - Saturday 1 March 2025
Quarter Final - Saturday 29 March 2025
We will be champions by the first game and will forfeit all other games in the quest for the Quad after that.
Yes, but meant for now. Or we can increase it.
He’s if you aren’t in Europe and go out of the cups in round 3 or 4 March will be a very slow month.
It's our first two games of the CL knockout phase.
Also, yeah we've got to beat Plymouth first.
I don’t mind if we lose to spurs Thursday or lose to Plymouth tbh.
I mind, don't want us to lose our momentum.
I’m the fucking grandmaster general
And the aura of invincibility we are concocting (everyone knows we played the 2nd team vs PSV). It's a mental edge we have going into every game.
Fucking act like it then!
Hmm so if we play the kids in the cups we can't possibly lose aura right?
Nah we just lose our innocence
Go out to win them both, but I won't lose sleep if we lose these matches. Sure, we lose momentum and it could knock confidence, but at the same time I can only see us losing a certain number of our remaining matches this season.
If we get two losses "out of the way" in the cups, that's alright by me.

Yeah not ideal, but in a way it could help us as we have a full squad and are more proficient at playing multiple games a week compared to the likes of Villa & Newcastle who are strong when playing one game a week but are struggling when doing multiple.
I do suspect it could mean terrible for things for the quality of content on here
No - he’s been managing the minutes of players all season and he’ll continue to do it.
He's not really managed the minutes of Gravy, Macca and Mo until the past 2-3 weeks. Which is ok, but time will tell whether they burn out later on.
It's very different this year, last year after 24 games, we were second and had three teams within three points on similar goal difference.
I think he is based on their fitness levels.
Gravy’s role probably requires the least running of the midfielders and Mo is a machine.
Macca has appeared in more games than Gravy, but logged less minutes.
Basically Virgil, Mo & Gravy are rarely substituted, everyone else is to a certain extent.
I think it’s clear that Slot trusts his performance team to keep the players at peak performance, who responds to getting a break and who responds to substitutions (on and off).
I think Slot would shuffle the pack more if he thought he had to.
I’m more concerned about what happens when the players are away on International duty.
Yes - I think the rotation on cup games has been refreshing. For me we should be going full tilt at the PL and everything else is a bonus where it can fit. The Plymouth game might be enough to give everyone the rest they need, and some minutes managed on Thursday where needed.
I also fear that Everton could be putting in a lot of big tackles trying to make a point in their final home Derby at Goodison.

I think competing for 4 trophies has got to be a significant risk to the PL. Right now injuries look like the main thing that could derail the challenge.
Anyway, I was bored last night so I had a thorough look through our and Arsenal's fixtures. I reckon we've got 1 or 2 more games where you'd honestly expect us to drop points, so the fixtures are in their favour but not enough to turn around 9 points. In all likelihood they'll need to win at Anfield to have a realistic chance.

That's why this is a very important month league wise.
If we beat Everton our nine point lead goes from theory to reality.
I think it would be nice if we could extend our gap even more this month. Might allow Slot to rotate more.
