Saints Fans Want To See Full Side Out In Prague

This is a very important week for Saints and the supporters want to see Claude Puel put out a little more of a first team in Prague than he has in the other Europa League ties.

In general the Saints supporters have understood just what Claude Puel has been doing in rotating his squad in both the Europa League and League Cup games, they understand that the team has a hectic schedule and that hasn't been helped by various injuries.

However there comes a time when you have to play your best team even if it means stretching them a little bit to do so.

Put bluntly this is a very important week and we don't want to put any of it at risk, 2,000 Saints supporters are spending hard earned money to travel to Prague and they deserve to see the something near the strongest XI that Saints can put out.

Although the result won't be fatal to Saints Europa League hopes should they lose, winning the group is important to avoid the clubs dropping down out of the Champions League, that being the case we need to win in Prague to put winning the group in our own hands.

There is an old saying in football about taking each game as it comes, this is the time for Claude uel to do that and put out a side in Prague to win the game.

Of course there will be subtle changes, but in general they should be kept to a minimum it should all be about winning the game.

Likewise the trip to Arsenal next week, we have a great chance in that competition, Arsenal will likely put out a weakened side, but that does not mean we should, weith a full side out its a great opportunity for our first semi final in either the FA or League cups in 14 years, we have to do our best to take it.

Most Saints fans have warmed to Claude Puel and his way of doing things, but sometimes you have to forget squad rotation and go for it, yes over a season players cant keep playing 2/3games a week, but they are fit enough to do so at crucial times of the season and this week is one of those times.
