The point is that we need the squad. AN says that we can't play the football we want to

when the schedule gets tough:

“Going again with games in such close proximity is hard because we want to get after the ball and press. When you play good sides, with the energy of a Newcastle, you can’t do it three times a week. What I have tried to do of late is mix my teams up to make sure lads are fresh. That helped us with Jacob and Alex Tettey, who I thought were excellent. Steven Whittaker, for someone who hadn’t played much recently, came in and really applied himself well. It isn’t any surprise none of those played in the previous game.”
