Fenerbahce preview: keep it together

Evening everyone.
Some bits and pieces to go on to today.
The manager has held a usual pre-match press conference today and it turned out to be enlightening in more ways than one.
First off, he reiterated his desire to field as strong as squad as possible. So no rest for our leaders just yet. The manager cold have taken the easy way out and play a bunch of kids, following our emphatic away win, which gives us an advantage, but he opted against it. Don't know the reasoning behind this decision and I won't pretend I know the manager`s thoughts, so I'll give you my views on the matter.
The first thing, that comes to mind, is that the manager wants to keep our winning streak going and in order to accomplish that, he needs the players, that started this streak in the first place. Resting legs, especially before a derby is great, but the youngsters may not have that winning attitude of our senior players, thus being more prone to putting us in a difficult position.
