    I don't want us to only play our strongest team in domestic cups:56:

    I think alot of people are underestimating the league as well, if we play a reserve/youth side most weeks we will really struggle in my opinion. I wouldn't be confident of beating anyone in the league with our youth and poor back up players out.

    The Europa is a good competition, I don't get this idea about people thinking it is below us? It is without doubt our level!

    Every year we reach the champions league is a bonus to be honest and if we can somehow reach the last 16 it is a massive achievement considering the quality of player we have at our disposal. The Europa is different, we should be a bit more competitive in it if we can get a good draw.

    We can't really prepare for next year either when we have signed no new permenant players and are stuck with the same side basically. I'm guessing there will be a big clearout over the end of this window, into January and next Summer.

    If Ronny was to play a weakened side in the league each week we'd end up losing quite a few games, the morale would weaken and pressure would grow on him. No doubt the same people calling for him to rotate and play the youth would turn on him as well:56:

    We've no idea who's going to be around next season. I'd imagine our strongest side is almost certainly the one Deila wants to take into the qualifiers next year. What he perhaps could do is use the games between now and then is to really engrain his philosophy in the players and get them to peak fitness.

    I'd like to see McGregor play 40 odd games this season.

    I'd also like us to try to win the Europa League. We'd avoid the qualification process altogether then.

    I would like to start to see the club bring the youth players into the first team rather than bringing in someone you have never heard of, mcgregor is a start

    I honestly think some of you need to get a grip about the league, ffs, it's a stick on.

    We're not going to do a ICT and no way would we have that amount of injuries either, listen if Deila makes a complete * of it he'll still win by around 10 pts.

    We've got to be targeting success in the Europa League. Assuming we don't get a group of death we have to at least make it out and knock out one team in the last 32.

    Our team's not as bad as folk are making out. If Ronny can't do something with that group then he's not the man for the job.

    Do you really think the league is not won? Really? We all know the league is won before a ball is kicked FFS.

    Are we going to make 10 changes week in and week out like Inverness? Don't think we will.

    I do care a EL but it * me off that we always have to play the Sunday afterwards but that's the price we pay for not being good enough for CL.

    We need to play our best players in the league because that's who we want to see, its OK bringing in one or two youngsters but we need keep experience.

    Getting pelters in this thread and have to admit it's deserved. Very arrogant of me. Sorry.
