Rotation isn’t his game is it? Hopefully he does not bitch about schedules and rest after this.

Hahaha, you gotta hand it to Ten Hag, he wants a trophy and won't take even the slightest risk. Really thought at least Eriksen would get a rest. At this point I won't be surprised if he starts vs Forest too. Just praying it doesn't bite us in the ass.

Resting him
Use ITVX?It looks like McTominay is ill or injured so I get why Casemiro plays. But why are Eriksen and Rashford starting?
Unnecessary.
We had a proper squad then. Now we have an excellent first team, a few other options and thanks to Woodward approximately 46,000 players on the books who are not good enough to play for us.I don't really have a problem with the team but I wanted to watch GarnachoOnly potential logic I can see here is to try and smash em in 45 mins, then rest? Otherwise this is bonkers. Particularly Eriksen and Bruno, cripes, give em some time.
Tell me your Irish without telling me you’re IrishMaybe doesn’t want to stop the rhythm with 10 days off
It's not. Go strong and hope to kill the game off early, can rest and rotate up 3-0 vs Forest at homeThat's absolutely ridiculous from ETH. I'm not in the rest FC camp but the bare minimum was resting Rashford. Garnacho is our 2nd best attacker and he barely gets 10 minutes per game.
Will do, thanks.Stronger lineup than I thought we’d see. Hopefully get it done early and give the likes of Casemiro and Eriksen a break.Eriksen AND Casemiro starting
Asking for an injury
Yeah that can be the only thinking in starting strong but it's a massive risk no doubt about itGet a couple goals up and then bring the kids on.
Well I’m on one that’s showing topless darts in sepia tone on the titanic, pretty sure it’s the wrong channel but I really want to see who wins this.Maybe the plan is to play a rotated team in midweek and give most of the main players a week to prepare for the next league game? Might be just Ten Hay doesn't want key players not playing for a week and a half to keep them sharper. If the likes of Eriksen and Rashford start again in midweek there will be some concerns though.
I’m actually annoyed for the first time by his team selection. Given our luck with injuries/fatigue you know what’s going to happen in the coming weeks already. Also, why not integrate some youngsters like zidane in place of Eriksen. The guy is shattered and needs a rest. We need him for the coming weeks.
True, but Fred and Garnacho could've played in place of Erikson and rashfordDon't like it. Fred, Garnacho and Pellistri really should be starting. Casemiro, Eriksen, Rashford and Bruno have no business playing today.
Ten Hag really hates rotating doesn't he. I get he's trying to make it a "earn your place" sort of thing so fair enough... But that mentality is going to kill us this month.Very bizarre to not rest Eriksen and probably Rashford too.
Our best 11 is going to really struggle towards the end of the season.its one week until our next pl game and the players need to stay in their rythm. therefor i understand the line up. key players can be rested midweekI think Ten Hag is mismanaging Eriksen. It's the only issue I have with the job he's done so far.
I know McTominay and Fred are poor but come on, Eriksen is not needed against Reading.If ole named this team in this scenario he would have got a lot of shitStill no Sancho?
The issue can't be his fitness, he's been training since before the World Cup.
If a mid table championship team isn't the right opportunity to get back in the squad, what is?
The whole situation is beyond ridiculous. The club should seriously consider getting most of their money back for him in the summer if they can, how can you be sure the same thing won't happen again?Why are people not understanding the team selection?
The midweek game is the one we can rotate in. No reason not to go strong from the start in this one.
That's the right channel. Text her about Wout being a bit of a donkey.Bizarre not to give Fred and McT minutes here. Love the man but I disagree with EtH’s selection today!Garnacho not at least starting is crazy.
The scenario of having a banker midweek, and thus being able to rest players there?Feel we should be resting more players.
Yes, I agree. You have to think performance in training plays a massive part in this all.
I hope we score 3 in the first half and then bring on the subs to see the game off.
I also think ETH is clearly targeting top 4 and a trophy this year with these kind of line-ups.
It's on ITV4 according to my EPG (and ITVx online).
Given our month ahead, we should have rotated big time in each of these 3 games and given all the key players (Martinez, Varane, shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno and Rashford) at least 2 of the games as bench to start.
Who on earth do you think is buying him after barely playing for half a season due to some not revealed reason?- Status
