Shouldn’t be resting strikers that are scoring

Has anything been said about resting Højlund?

 

[Red00012]

Everton have lost one of their last eight Premier league games

Away form this season

4-0 defeat v Spurs
3-2 defeat v Villa
1-1 against Leicester
2-0 win v Ipswich
1-0 defeat v Southampton
0-0 against West Ham

Last five Premier league meetings in Old Trafford.
Two 2-0 wins for United and three draws

2 wins out of 5 is a poor return conidering how bad Everton have been the last few years.

 

[Offside]

Need to be winning.

 

[wolvored]

I got a feeling that with all the hype over the win on Thursday this has got draw written all over it, but hoping I am wrong. We ain’t putting the chances away like the other big teams do.
I hope Rasmus is given a run of games upfront to build his confidence. Not all players are rotated, and we need some experience upfront in this system, which only comes from regular game time.

 

[Red00012]

Expect us to dominate possession. One thing we’ve improved on since Amorim as arrived is dominating possession. We need to be clinical and not make it a nervous ending.

We’ve played Ipswich and some team nobody had heard of in the Europa League. Easy tiger

 

[Red00012]

Is this on any available channel ?

Optus Sport and Supersports have it

 

[DJ_21]

Teams where we got dominated on possession last season then.

An earlier poster saying to be rested for Arsenal game. Forgot to ‘quote’ it

Newport County gave us a game last season it’s not a high barrier we are currently guaging ourselves from.

Alright, lets hope not

 

[Jaap]

Could be:

Onana
Mazraoui De Ligt Martinez
Amad Ugarte Bruno Shaw
Rashford Mount
Hojlund

 

[Marcelinho87]

Hope to see Mount build on his performance feel he will be important for Amorim.

 

[DWelbz19]

Mainoo minutes today would be nice. Probably off the bench, imagine it’ll be Ugarte + Case/Bruno

 

[appleman]

Going to be a comfortable 2-2. Progress.

				Onana
		Maz		Licha		Shawluke
			Eriksen		Mainoo
	Amad						Mount
				Garnacho
		Zirkzee				Hojlund

 

[DJ_21]

Exactly my point mate. At least the 2 games we have seen we’ve had more possession. We just need to take our chances and finish teams of. That’s what should be worked on in training.

 

[unplayable]

Apparently Zirkzee also starts.

 

[Shark]

Has anything been said about resting Højlund?

That gobshite Goldbridge has been saying we're going to rest Hojilund and Garnacho.

 

[SteveCoppellFan]

I dont mind some rotation considering we are playing Arsenal in midweek.

Should be able to put out a side good enough to beat Everton at home!

 

[Red00012]

Has anything been said about resting Højlund?

Amorim said he ran himself into the ground Thursday night and social media are putting 2 and 2 together

 

[Shark]

We've a much better chance of getting 3 points today, then we do of beating Arsenal mid week. It just makes no sense to rest players, especially with Hojilund looking good last game in this system.

 

[Jazz]

We're not on Sky or anywhere.... sigh

 

[GueRed]

Must win. I'll take any win..
Need those three points to climb up the table

 

[BaguetteBoy]

We're not on Sky or anywhere.... sigh

Tbf villa v Chelsea is a much bigger draw for the neutral. There will be stream somewhere surely

 

[Bwuk]

Rashford at 9 apparently

 

[Shark]

Rashford at 9 apparently

I'm so ready for his 15 minutes of intense running.

 

[JBG]

Rashford at 9 apparently

Was just going to post this... Højlund doesn't start at least. Saving him for Arsenal probably (needed Højlund for my FPL this GW ).

 

[sillwuka]

I'm guessing

Onana
Maz De Ligt Martinez
Amad Ugarte Cas Dalot
Mount Bruno
Rashford


Edit - I'm way off, looks like Mainoo and Zirzkee start​

 

[unplayable]

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Sounds like some rotation, I really hope the ones we bring in give it everything, if Rashford and Zirkzee both start it’ll be like playing with 9 men.

 

[3KDré]

Really enjoying how much he is willing to rotate. He is clearly prioritising the long term. He could easily just play his bext XI but he wans everyone to learn the system.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Going to be a comfortable 2-2. Progress.

				Onana
		Maz		Licha		Shawluke
			Eriksen		Mainoo
	Amad						Mount
				Garnacho
		Zirkzee				Hojlund

Shawluke

 

[Berbaclass]

Okay Joshua, let's see what you've got.

 

[waza7111]

Hoijlund, Mount, Ugarte and Garnacho to come in vs Arsenal.

 

[appleman]

Shawluke

I wish to honor thy legacy

 

[Fooza]

I get this lineup with Arsenal coming up mid week but Amad is wasted as a wing back

We need to start thinking about the collective rather than individual performances though. If it serves the team that's all that matters.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Amorim certainly has a penchant for squad rotation, doesn’t he? It’s a positive approach, as it not only keeps the squad fresh but also allows him to evaluate our players comprehensively—not just in terms of their technical and tactical abilities, but also their physical attributes and mental resilience.

This approach is a stark contrast to Erik ten Hag, who preferred to stick with a more consistent lineup and rotated sparingly. However, I believe that once Amorim identifies his strongest XI and establishes a settled core, we’ll see a reduction in rotation.

 

[Kag]

Really enjoying how much he is willing to rotate. He is clearly prioritising the long term. He could easily just play his bext XI but he wans everyone to learn the system.

I think the new system really helps with rotation. All of a sudden you look to our bench and there are some good options to come on and affect the game.

 

[dubplate warrior]

He's playing well there though. And Mazraoui is playing extremely well as a right centre back because he ends up wide anyway.

 

[Superden]

This is such an improvement on ETH flogging his preferred XI week after week and then the ensuing omnishambles when they weren't available
