Why is everyone so obsessed with resting mata every few games... No one ever says, we should rest azpi or ivan after they have played a few games in a row... Resting is important to keep players fresh but not to the extent that it seems to be suggested. We have 3 more games before we get back to a bit more normality in having a game generally once a week. If he desperately needs to be rested for some reason then it would have to be southhampton but i wouldn't rest him for any of them games.
