Its exciting to see what side he puts out as this will show the depth of quality in the squad.
Thing is, we do have depth in the squad. But if we see 9-10 changes, the accumulative effect of that will be a considerable drop, I'm afraid (and I'm not saying we shouldn't do it, I think we should for the sake of other matches).
It's one thing to say that if, say, Trent can't play in a certain game, that it's good to have an experienced player like Clyne to step in. No question about it. BUT, there is a reason Jürgen goes with pretty much the same lineup each time. The starters, as always, are better than the backups. One change is very manageable, maybe 2 or 3 even, but then when it's everyone who ordinarily doesn't get a game, then you see some more noticeable dropoff in team quality. It's just normal.
But tonight, if he goes with the lineup many of us have been suggesting, we'll see how much of a dropoff it is, and just good our team depth really is.
Hoping for the best.
