That was my point... at 70 mins we could have given Sid, moura and Sanches all 20 mins... and more importantly key players a rest
Not so sure, it's easy to play well when the opposition give you all the time and space in the world. When Sheffield did apply some pressure they scored (albeit from poor defending again). I will take the points but got to say I wasn't that impressed.
I don’t mind it (I know it’s easy to say that after the fact and I am only just about to sit down and watch the game),but when we signed Bale I had assumed we would play a 5-2-3 in defence switching to a 3-4-3 in transition and attack. That was also based on Aurier’s general position last season, but had not factored in Mourinho wanting to play 3 in midfield. I had thought/hoped it would be Hojbjerg and one of N’dombele//dele/Lo Celso depending on form, opposition etc.
It was fucking ridiculous... pundits saying he didn't mean it haven't watched what he can do on the ball...
Just watched it. Reggie’s face is brilliant. Kind of a “phwoar I can’t believe I just saw that” look as his eyes widen and he peels away to go celebrate with N’dombele
Don't disagree with that... but why then didn't those lads who will be rotated in.... get a few minutes to warm up and acclimatise their arses to be running round a bit as opposed to welded to a fucking plastic chair....
