Bit disappointing to not see Ugarte starting, rest of the team is good.
Yes 75 mins before kick offGood options on the bench. Huge ask for Eriksen and Mainoo in midfield.
Yeah looks like it will be a deep double pivot of Eriksen and Mainoo, good combination of long and short passing. Also means there's a complete lack of physicality through the middle.Our bench is quite strong. It feels like it's been a while since we could say that in a league gameHas Rashford been out on the piss in Belfast again?Højlund on the bench. Nice.Bench is the best I’ve seen in a long timeIF we don’t win, he’s setting himself up for a lot of criticism dropping Rashford and Ugarte to the bench.
Mainoo, Eriksen and Bruno midfield is worrying.Strange to drop Rashford and not sure about that midfield.
Still confident though. Let's have it.Turns out all Rashford had to do to get benched was find some formSo Eriksen is going to be playing DM if Bruno's in? He's not got the legs for it and it's a disaster everytime he's in there. Fully expect Mainoo to be isolated and our midfield to be walked through, again.Weak midfield. You can see Eriksen and Bruno miles in front of Mainoo on the pitch.
Yes, huge chance we will get ran over in the middleI don't get this....
We have a player that's been trash for several months and not benched. And when that player actually starts to deliver what he should, the manager bench him...
The Rashford decision is far more understandable. That midfield though is a jokeI think with the midfield options we have it’s a risky choice to go with in a tricky away game.I would play Ugarte and not Eriksen. Happy to see a strong bench.
Just throwing the kid to the wolves and then people will say he had a shit game when it happens.the contrast from the bench in the 4-0 loss last season to today's benchGood to see Garnacho starting, the wide trio of Amad, Rashford and Garnacho should all be rotated on a regular basis.
Nobody has been DROPPED!Not sure about the midfield, feels a little lightweight. Bench looks pretty strong though for once.Palace will dominate the midfield.
It is but we need an inform Rashford if we’re going to have a successful season, I’d have started him today.Can't help but to think this midfield looks very porous! I get that Ugarte is getting up to speed but it's games like these (lower level PL clubs on sat night tv so put max effort in!) Where the start is very important.So spent a season+ trying to play rashford into form, finally finds it and is dropped to the bench
Wrong again Matt.Dunno about that lineup. Reminds me of that Brentford 4-0 game early on when he tried to just play Eriksen as DM and play 'Ajax ball'.
It doesn't really work, does it?
Rashford benched. Can’t believe it!
I mean it worked last week.Eriksen and Mainoo in a midfield two in an away game. Praying neededPlaying Eriksen in a more physically demanding position against a much better side after he's already played this week is quite confusing, in line with Ten Hag's style of thinking I guess.
We're about to find out. Brave team to pick away from home.Strange dropping Rashford after finding some form, but the alternative is at least good. Don't get the midfield though. Happy to play eriksen but no cas or ugarte is just too light.Palace are going to steamroll that midfield early on.
Well yeah, I just don't fancy it against a better side than Southampton.
Hope you're right and we control the game the same way we did for most of that.
At least we have options on the bench, it’s just whether he sticks or twists if the need arises. History suggests the worst option!- Status
