13 games in the league.
4 games including FA Cup Final.
9 games including UC Final
26 games if Liverpool make both finals.
26 games is a lot but we have options now compared to last season. Our signings made in the summer are beginning to show their worth to the squad.
Lucas, Sterling and Gerrard all out who are all key players for us, yet we still fielded a strong side at Palace and got through the game comfortably.
Obviously we have tougher fixtures coming up but I'm not worried about some players feeling tired or picking up any injuries/suspensions. The key for Brendan is not too make too many changes at once which I think he has been guilty of in the past. For example if we draw Bradford in the next round of the cup at home, I do not want to see him start with 11 fringe players. Maybe two and give certain players a breather but
do not put in the likes of Lambert, Borini, Lovren, Enique, Johnson, Allen etc all in at once.
Lucas and Sterling sitting out a couple of games will do them some good, Sturridge finding his fitness and then with Stevie coming back in towards the end of the season we could really finish strong. Ibe is like a new signing and Balotelli all of a sudden looks like he has a point to prove.
I think we have enough to cope and expect us to go far in both cups and finish in the top 4.
End of the day we have Emre Can, and that's all we need.
