Wouldn’t have been too mad if Burn started last week as we were going to be a lot deeper and they’re strong on set pieces. Thought Tino would be perfect for these home games where we’re looking to dominate the ball.

Don't know why we spent £40 million on Tino to sit him on the bench, it's hardly development player money

Really hope Howe is justified in sticking with Burn and that he has a solid game. The optics where people have been screaming out for Tino ahead of Burn for months, only for him to be thrown in against Arsenal and immediately benched again afterwards isn't good.

Yip hung out to dry then dropped if this was Pardew, or Bruce folk would be spitting feathers.

Eddie is so bad at rotating

Agreed. He needs to change things up when we play vs certain teams. There‘s no code for it, like, it’s a difficult thing to do, but still. I’m not sure he’ll ever yield, FWIW, even if the new physio comes in and reads him the riot act.

Think it’s a robust team in the circumstances, ignoring the obvious Tino-Burn, Miley-Longstaff debate. The bench actually looks quite strong.

 

We’re short Pope, Wilson, Tonali and Joelinton but we have a lot of options compared with the Gillespie, Parkinson, Diallo, Ndiewini days of November and December.

He really needs to start rotating the squad a bit. If we get another round of injuries, his lack of rotation will have been a factor.

Not a dig, but do people actually want rotation, or is it just another way of saying 'drop Burn and or x player'.

 

Like if the back 5 was Karius, Krafth, Lascelles, Burn, Tino. 

 

Would people be praising Howe for rotating or slating him for not putting out what on paper is our best team.

Right? :lol:

 

There's only 2 positions on the pitch up for grabs.

I really do think a bit of rotation leads to a fresher squad and less injuries. So for example Tino could come in for Tripps or Burn. Barnes could come in for Gordon. 
 

we’ve now for the first time in months got options, and I think he should be using them. For example a 33 year old Tripps is playing his third game in a week. I get ideally you want to put your best team out every week, but margins are so small at the highest level so you’ve got to keep your team fresh.

The only thing I have a problem with is Isak and Willock playing three games in a week right after coming back. It will be hard to defend if either one has another setback.

Both were subbed off early in both games.
