It always was going to be him (A) simply because our MF to defender ratio (B) As much of a fantastic player he has been for us, his legs just cannot take a full game at the pace we're going to be playing under Pep.
That all said and done it's nice to be in a position where you look at the team sheet and there isn't really anyone you think of and shudder at thought of being in the squad.
We are definitely a better team than last year imo so Monchengladbach won't be an issue nor will Celtic, which leaves Barca so anything could happen in those two games, worse case we finish second in our group.
