Strong line up was expected. Rotate next game cause we are up 3-0 in the tie. What is so hard to understand here?

Yes. And it seems ETH is raising a lot of eyebrows here too. But Ole was on a different level to any other manager I can think of in terms of running players into the ground.I guess I’m not surprised as he just doesn’t like rotating at all. My only concern is that the games are coming so thick and fast. Their is a big risk of burnout later in the season.Real will soon snap Garnacho cause ETH doesn't trust him..
Give over
That's not true, he's been rotating in some games, today I guess he wants to get the resupp ASAP.Seems odd to me that one one hand ETH is great, fantastic and the right man for the job and on the other hand you're moaning about his team selections!The overreaction is crazy on this forum as usual.
We are still working on our system. Players, even the starters still need to improve on certain aspects. Reading presents an opportunity to do this, whilst we then have a freebe midweek which our youngsters can start.
We aren't United with 20+ years of Sir Alex and a lot of quality depth. This is United with a new ETH still adapting to and creating a system that can dominate English football with poor quality of depth in midfield.Fernandes and Rashford
Completely unnecessary, but selfishly I’m not going to cry about watching the first 11 again.Big test for The Fridge.To be fair, that starting lineup should beat Reading playing at 50%. Just hope we don’t get any freak injuries!Erik knows his squad better than we do, but yeah, you kind of expect players to start pick up injuries en masse pretty soon.
Show some respect to the incredible sports-science hivemind that is this forum!This team is gonna fall off the biggest cliff imaginable. Totally overplayed.
Reading at Old Trafford is also a freebie. We have games every weekend and midweek for the next month. At the end of this run is Barca twice, and Newcastle in the cup final. To get us tired out in easy games is just stupid/negligence tbh.
It's something he'll learn from, whatever. I hope he tosses the Europa League in the trash and ignores it. Because we need to be at full fitness to beat Newcastle in the cup as I'd actually be pissed off if we lost that.Can't believe Rashford, Casemiro, Eriksen and DDG are playing.
He's 18 and has already played in 18 games this season and I'm sure will get plenty of minutes between tonight and midweek. He's way ahead of the normal schedule.Interesting enough, in the presser he said games replaced a lot of our training because there’s so many of them. If they’re resting in between I don’t see a problemWe really should be resting a few more here. Eriksen and Bruno have played a huge number of minutes. If we can't beat Reading with them rested we don't deserve to go through.
Ah because tiredness in the 2nd half of the season is a brand new science, for a team that plays every weekend and midweek and never gets rotated...Just pray for no injuries because nothing would annoy me more than having a key player get injured in a game like this. There is bigger fish to fry than the FA Cup.does this guy not believe in rotation? brotherWith that team selection, I just hope we blow Reading away in the first half and that allows us to sub off our main players at HT.
Just get through the game unscathed.Maguire stealing a living as club captain again. Why not just give it to Bruno ffs? He has to be the least worthy United captain I can remember. You got Ronaldo, Casemiro, Varane, Bruno, DDG on the pitch and this guy wears the armband. I wouldn't mind so much if he did the post matches when we feck up.
He doesn’t like rotation. Even Ajax fans said the same thing.
Why? there are teams that have won things playing the same XI every week and only changing the team when injuries or suspensions happened
It’s on the ITV app (ITVX).
No it doesn’t. Garnacho or Pellistri could have started. Switch Antony to the left if Pellistri starts. He’s risking way too many first teamers in a cup tie against reading ffs
He believes in winning every game and taking each game as it comes. Thank feck he is in charge.He's worse than Ole regarding rotating.If we play the full strength team again on Wednesday 
It’s on TLC. Freeview.
oh jog onIf we play the full strength team again on Wednesday
Don’t bet against itHis plan has to be to rest the squad for the return leg against Forest, right? Wants to get a definitive win tonight with a strong team, then rotate next game.
That’s the only explanation I can come up with or is otherwise justified.
I don't care what are they saying. As I said he did rotate, Mainoo started 2 games for instance among other things.Maguire and Lindelof against Carroll !!! This might get uglyGuys, you do realise our next match is one at home in a tie we lead 3-0? If we're going to rest players in either match, that would surely be the one you pick.OGS and Woodward really put it in Maguire's contract that he is captain when he is on the pitch, didn't they?
I know you felt like Jean Claude Van Damme typing that up, but what does this even mean?- Status
