See out the first half and we're sorted
Playing only two people against Forest is crazy. All of our recent success must have gone to Ten Hag's head. Sheer effing hubris.Tweet

Smart man.If that team is correct then:
1. At least Rashford is getting a rest.
2. Ten Hag is really trying to push out Maguire isn't he.
Saudi Arabia are the good guys now?Be good to see these off early doors but the media already have a hard on for the geordies in the final, they’re desperate for a Manchester United, Newcastle United final but they’re even more desperate for a Newcastle win.
He said in the press conference before the first leg that games have replaced training games and the players are happier for it.With the fixtures we've got and the first leg differential we have.....man, I mean I get it, you don't want any surprises, but at some point you just have to trust the young talent you have. Hell, if everyone were this conservative we'd never see Pedri and Gavi before their 20th birthday.
10/11. Missed Antony. Good lineup.Tweet

Ten Hag is not fecking around.
Not even resting Varane.
Varane's not played since the 22nd Jan (unused sub against Forest and Reading). Needs some game time before we go into the next month of crucial games.I fully trust ETH but I find it hard to justify playing Varane and having Lindelof and Maguire on the bench. And playing Casemiro is a huge risk considering Mctominay is out for a while too.
he's made 6 changes to be fair.Jesus
Strong team that, god knows why we aren’t rotating the squad more.
Varane has not played since the Arsenal game on the 22nd January. That is 11 days ago.Ten Hag is not fecking around.
Not even resting Varane.
Martinez hasn't started too much since the WC, think he needs the time tbh.Lisandro and Varane are the biggest surprise for me. Thought he would go with the old Lindelof-Maguire combination considering they have a 3 goal cushion.
He doesn't trust our fringe players. I don't blame him.Stupidly and needlessly strong. Bruno never gets a rest
Not registered yet.Is Sabi on the bench?
Played them in Spain and we didn't look good.He doesn't trust our fringe players. I don't blame him.
Was he really lucky with injuries or something?EHT just ever rests anyone important enough. He did the same thing in Ajax, where he (almost) never rotated even though they had many talented young players.
