Could be a bad move benching Amad and Rashford. You kill the rhythm of the team and inform players if you bench them.

Malacia in and Amad out both seem like colossal mistakes at face value.
After the MOTM performance Amad put in last weekend, he must be feeling gutted to be left out of such a big match.I once saw a man beat an Arsenal side with a team made of left backs.. Same energy here..The Caf hates the line up so we’re probably going to win. Great!
He pretty much said this already didnt he?He picked a team with high work rateI don't get how Amad isn't starting, less so when we leave Malacia vs Saka given his last outing.
Amorim seems to have a knack for starting weaker and addressing stuff in-game so let's hope he is onto something we are not.He must have an idea in mind. I trust himI like that he continues to rotate. Looks to set up a bit more defensively to start, can make offensive subs as the game goes on.
Or hes treating the games as pre season and is rotating players every game like he said he would to build fitness and so everyone gets to understand the system. He is also assessing the squad during said games.Have we not won here since 2019?
Hopefully we’re still in the game by the 2nd half
Yeah I’m unsure about that, I’m thinking the rationale is Amad did run himself into the ground last game and wouldn’t be able to do that same intensity here. So will need to come off the bench to make an impact
I never said that! I said how do you know he’s finished as a footballer?Amad played 90 mins was it on Sunday, he looked knackered by end of the game and also was receiving treatment for cramp or a knock. How are people shocked he isn’t starting?
Yup, hold them at arms length, stifle and frustrate them then kill them with the pace off the bench in the 2nd half.Newcastle are rubbishDon't think the line up outside of malacia is bad. Malacia got roasted by Saka last time they met and now playing for fitness, this will only go one way.
What does that have anything to do with my issue with not starting him? Amorim should have had plans to start him considering we were 4-0 up with 30 minutes left, just sub him off.Amad was struggling at the end of the Everton game. Worked his fecking arse off. Honestly not mad that he can come on later in gameMalacia/Maguire/Mount has ruined all hope for this game.Yeah, i fully trust Amorim and all that but Amad and Malacia decisions are really hard to understand. But hey, he knows the best.
I like Mount starting and had him in potential lineups.
Meh after the last year of garbage that theory doesn't work as wellThe Caf hates the line up so we’re probably going to win. Great!
Arsenal are the kings of rubbish kits. That training shirt is ugly af. Looks like somebody ran over the back of them, tyre marks all over them!Glad to see Maguire and de ligt starting. Gabriel has 5 goals from corners this season already.
He's going to pull his mask off, reveal his tan suit and shout "Ah, time for Eleven Hag, heehhhhhhh?!" before our midfield parts like the red sea or Cina's mum after two pints of cider.
Bizarre choice although if Mazraoui is going to play on that side as well at least they can work together there.
But our right side of our attack will be non existent now.That seems like a very odd team. Malacia is likely to be targeted, and rightly so..Are people here intentionally play obtuse or are actually? Why are you lot losing your shit? It’s a genuinely good lineup. Bunch of drama queens. Malacia is playing to stop Saka you’d think. Their wingers are genuine threat. And Amad and Rashford were never gonna play after Everton specially Amad. He was knackered at the end. If you want intensity why would you play players that played just 3 days before?OMG. Maguire and Malacia to contain Saka. Let's hope Ugarte can shut down Ødegaard.
Mount will be decent in this game. Press machine.
It won’t. It’s a good lineup. I’m fully looking forward to it especially them missing Gabriel and calafiori.
Fair enough, but it kinda looks like we put our eggs in the Everton basket.
He's not benching anyone. He's rotating, exactly as he's been completely clear that he will. It'd have been hugely surprising uf he hadn't, and obviously the players wouldn't expect anything else.Malacia and Maguire up against Odegaard and Saka, this could turn nasty!
Er, yeah, but Malacia to stop Saka is exactly the problem. This is one of the most frequently dribbled past players in the PL 22/23 we're talking about.
You're a fecking constant ray of sunshine.We are the underdogs tonight. Rubens picked a Defence minded team. Id take a draw now.
It could be that its sending down a gauntlet down to these players. If you want to continue having a career at this club you need to perform on nights like tonight.- Status
