Yeah that's what happens in the champs league unfortunately. Philips is what he is and it is who we have to play in this current situation.
IMO Fab had an absolute stinker, looked out on his feet and Gini apart from one great run was absolutely irrelevant. The midfield was a disaster & gave zero protection for the likes of Philips & Kabak

I don't think anyone coming in will consider themselves to be 4th choice. If we go into next season with VVD, Gomez, Kabak and for arguments sake Koante as our main 4, I think that all those last three would at worst consider themselves as in a battle to partner VVD with a realistic chance of starting. 5th choice is looking like being Davies (or Phillips if we keep him).

 need strong options, ones that are actually challenging for a first team spot and not just making up the numbers. There are plenty of league games and cups comps to rotate & imo the drop off in quality of our 2nd string is an issue.
In saying that the problem that we had this season was even our backups were injured

Watching PSG and Bayern last night I’m not sure getting to the final would be the best thing for us right now.

Yep, looking that way as they are a totally different level to us right now...looking at the winners of this year's CL in that tie...they will destroy City in the semi's.

Just watched the highlights also and Bayern were dominant but missed loads of chances - no Lewa or Gnabry a huge loss for them. Mbappe on the break is unstoppable - our high line would be put to the test by him
I think City are not home yet but if they get through they’d give PSG a good game and would fancy beating them. Bayern with everyone back would fancy beating them though.
City the worst outcome for me, then Chelsea, then Madrid, then PSG, then Bayern. Ideally if not us then Dortmund

So to recap you don’t want to bag our players out but others do it so you want to do it for consistency sake. Ok then
