6 first team starters from last season on the bench.
They still have a weak mentality I suppose.You’ll be in for a surprise then. They’ve been brilliant even in pre season. Very well balanced and dangerous. Looking like a well oiled team now. Big contrast to last season.
Excitement level cranked up....So excited for this now with Antony starting….
swear some on here just love to overreact and get angry over nothing.Casemiro situation turning out like the VDB one.
Casemiro needed translator when speaking to Casemiro, maybe he is waiting for him to grasp some basic understanding?Can only assume Casemiro has told ETH he doesn’t feel quite ready to start.
Garnacho played for the youth team yesterday while Donny is Donny.No donny or garnacho on the bench, but we have 2 goalkeepers there? I really do not understand the logic of that.
But then Antony starts? How can he be fit if he hadn't played games for AyaxTen Hag said after the Leicester game Ronaldo and Casemiro are not fit enough to start yet.
Can’t see that. ETH doesn’t want to use arguably the best DM in the world in a position of need? He must not be at full fitness.What If it's another club signing
I’m pretty sure the rules state you have to have two keepers on bench no?Two keepers on the bench is weird.
Glad to see Antony start but Casemiro must have had a really easy summer if he's still not ready to play.
A Eriksen Varane midfield partnershipBruno CH and McT up front.
Brave from ETH
I can understand that he will play the winning team. I do disagree with it but yeah, that's not unexpected.Completely bizarre not unleashing Casemiro in this sort of game. What is EtH’s thought process here?
He's not an old fart like themBut then Antony starts? How can he be fit if he hadn't played games for Ayax
They are definitely playing the 2nd best in the league right now. Albeit they haven't faced strong opposition other than crystal palace day 1.You’ll be in for a surprise then. They’ve been brilliant even in pre season. Very well balanced and dangerous. Looking like a well oiled team now. Big contrast to last season.
Ten Hag confirmed this himself, but I guess people love being outraged.Casemiro obviously not 100% fit. He will come on in the second half , no panic
Yes you can. They just played on Thursday.You don’t drop anyone from that side.
