Today was a bigger win than just the 3pts we won.
It was becoming obvious that there would have to be a game that we would have to regather our resources for the next phase of gamesand today was the day and we got through it.
Our recent very successful run was not just earned by us swanning around and picking up wins, it was earned with eskill efort and spent energy.
There had to be a point when we had to pay the bill, rest players, give minutes to KDB and Kun particularly.
3pts gained against a very good side who were organised and prepared to have a go at us was a better result than we may have expected.
Cancelo, Rodri, Foden, Bernie, Sterling and Jesus all rested, KDB qnd Kun given minutes and yardage in their legs.
Pep trusted the squad and took the risk. Sometimes it was a bit hairy but we got through it.
Probably worth taking the risk because of Dias and Stones being so reliable...not only at the back but today taking the repsonsibility at the front
Life and the fixtures go on and now we have had a small chance to regroup ready for the next phase of games at 2 per week.
A really good day...3pts and bonuses.
