Other than Malacia, a fine line up. Let's give them a warm welcome!

 

[Nick7]

Have we given up on Malacia already??

 

[RuudTom83]

With 5 subs it’s up to the starting eleven to do there stuff! then start rotating on the hour mark.

 

[Strootman's Finger]

Ten Hag needs to use his squad better than this if that is the starting line up.

He doesn't rotate his team much, if he has a winning team he doesn't really mess with it.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Glad for the chap on here who is flying in to see the game. Great that they get to see a strong team.

Ten Hag doesn't like to rotate at all

 

[Strootman's Finger]

??? He's starting, and this makes me think the opposite, he was hauled off at City, dropped the next game and next game given a chance to redeem himself.

 

[roseguy64]

Hopefully we can finish these off first half so we can sub on McTominay, Pellistri and Garnacho early. Elanga, Iqbal, Shaw or Sancho the other 2 subs.

think he’s having to prioritise champions league qualification. i’d expect to see more experimentation in the other two cups.

Its all been a bit Ole so far as far rotation goes.

 

[phelans shorts]

Other than Ronaldo, a fine line up. Let's give them a warm welcome!

Agreed, a very good team who should win comfortably, which we need.

 

[phelans shorts]

We lost the opening game so every one now is a must win game.

It’s really quite obvious really

 

[Massive Spanner]

At least Eriksen is getting a rest.

He seems to more like chopping and changing one or two players around to try find his best team rather than completely switching things around. Ultimately we're still a team finding our footing and best XI so can't blame him for being conservative.

Given up on the kid already? That was quick.

 

[Wilt]

Never heard of them…. Utd 5-0

 

[Deery]

Never heard of them…. Utd 5-0

Played them last week

 

[V.O.]

Glad to see the Fred - Casemiro - Bruno/Eriksen midfield finally. I do think there's a good chance that ends up being our best.

Bit odd to see it in a game like this which is one of the games you'd expect to be able to get away with both Bruno and Eriksen pretty comfortably, though.

 

[DJ_21]

Glad eriksen finally gets a rest. I’d of rotated more then that though, I wanna see zidane play in the middle… looked quality in pre season and I thought ten Hag was a youth type manager?…

 

[Wilt]

Played them last week

I meant pre last week

 

[GMoore23]

Wholesale changes were needed here with a brutal set of fixtures next week especially as ten Hag doesn't make much use of subs.

Newcastle - Spurs - Chelsea all in the space of six days.

He's going to burn this lot out. Look at how much rotation Guardiola has used over the years.

 

[Strootman's Finger]

We need this result. Too bad we didn't beat Sociedad in the first game, a dead rubber where the youngsters could get a run out would have been nice.

 

[Reditus]

Glad Fred is getting a chance. He hasn’t had much of a look in this season

 

[RedPed]

Nice! Looking forward to that Fred & Casemiro pairing.

 

[Santoryo]

Other than Malacia, a fine line up. Let's give them a warm welcome!

A quintessential example of impatience. You sir embodies that.

 

[Telsim]

Given up on the kid already? That was quick.

Not at all. I think Shaw is in a better form right now and doesn't exactly need rest after playing 1 game.

 

[studs]

I would of liked to seen Dalot been rested, he looks very tired lately.

 

[sepulturite]

??? He's starting, and this makes me think the opposite, he was hauled off at City, dropped the next game and next game given a chance to redeem himself.

Think he's means some posters are making out like they've given up on players like Malacia already, and judging by some posts in here he'd be right.

[RedDevilUnited369]

People should stop panicking. The plan is to be at least 2-3 up by half time when changes will begin. All 5 subs by 60 mins.

 

[El Jefe]

I'm convinced EtH is going to be successful here, reason being everything Ajax fans told us about him has turned out to be true. The latest one being he doesn't rotate or rest his team as often as he does.

We were told it would take some time for his methods to work and that it would all be worth it once that happens. That's pretty much the last phase as all other things said about him have been accurate.

 

[TMDaines]

Most balanced line up we have had this season. Surprised McT did not get a game though considering suspension.

 

[TheGame]

Could have easily played Elanga and Sancho and rested Antony and Rashford. So many matches in October, need to keep players fit.

Ole didn’t rotate much and we ran out of steam in the semis and the final of the EL. There’s a balance to be had and these are the kind of games where we should be rotating more especially given the October fixture list. This is totally different to Holland.

Paramount plus not working for anyone else?

That is irritating. They will post training videos but when you click on the video it goes to their site.

 

[TMDaines]

Always good to see all of the armchair sports scientists come to the fore at this time of year on the Caf.

 

[pratyush_utd]

Looking forward to see Fred and Casemiro in midfield.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Starting to think Sancho is done at United, he's been left out a couple of times after playing poorly and not even been subbed on.

Pity, he was showing some better form for a bit.

Maybe he'll get a chance to play tonight, if we manage to wrap up the tie.

he's brought in Malacia and Fred. He's rested Eriksen who needed one. Casemiro needs game time to get his match fitness up. Varane didn't start, keep him for Sunday. Possibly the only other changes I've made, would be rest De Gea, but no big deal there. I would started Sancho and played Rashford centrally and dropped Ronaldo
