Not really hindsight though is it. I love Farke, think he's a great coach but

I do still think he has a tendancy to run some of our players into the ground at times and perhaps still not use subs/the squad as well as he could. That is not me having some rant about Farke or saying he''s sh*t its just an observation.

Sorensen was great at left back but since then he's hardly got a look in at CM even when there have been oportunties to give him some decent game time. The one thing I thought Saturday was an opportunity to do was have another proper look at him in that role for 90 minutes and I said that before the game. I did actually jkust expect him to come in for Skipp as I didn;t think Farke would go sentimental and play Tetts/Vrancic but once he decided to do that he could justifiably have given Kenny a rest. I was therefore surprised that Sorensen was limited to his usual 3 minute cameo at the end.

I just think there are times when you can lighten the load for some of these players (who also play most games for their country) which would probably reduce the likelihood of them picking up injuries. Possibly not injuries like Kenny';s which arose from a tackle but certainly the sort of injuries Pukki and Skipp have picked up. Even when we were 6-0 up v Hudds we didn;t make any subs until after 70 minutes. All of our subs v Reading were after 82 minutes. I hope Pukki recovers because it would be a crying shame for him to miss the Euros.

I don't think it needed hindsight to think it might be a good idea not to risk those going to th Euro's away at Barnsley when we had the title sewn up. That said I do accept they will need to play some football before June and they could equally get injured playing in friendlies.
