But this is a contradictory argument.

I think we'll get through the group easily so we should rotate and protect players for later in the season. That will maximise our chances of winning the EL.

If we smash the group by playing our best side throughout, we're much more likely to be battered and useless when it matters from Feb. The will minimise our chances of winning the EL.

It’s only contradictory if you think the group is a doddle

I don’t

To get through easily we need to win the group. That will require beating Napoli, and that I think will require a strong team.

If all goes well we can rest some in the other games.
 
The group might have been a doddle in Covid times with no crowd. I think we’re underestimating how intimidating all three of these away matches are. Some of our team will crumble under it.
 
Best team. Anything else is mental. If you think playing and beating Napoli will be a simple task then fine.

In reality though, it won't be.
 
Would anybody actually select Vardy to start against Napoli?

I see picking him for anything outside PL matches as an act of gross self-destruction of our season. We all know what will happen.

I see an argument for selecting Evans only if he's trying to build fitness.
I think Vardy will be chomping at the bit to play against Napoli more than a PL game He's already won the premier league and I'm sure he'd like to add a European medal to his collection.

I would.

We've got no ****ing chance of top 4 this season.

The league is a distraction
