I read somewhere that Ole has not optimum trust in Fringes. actually, there can't be more than 2-3 fringe players in a full season squad. It shows lack of man management, rotation and second feeder quality at your disposal. 10% rotation in defence, 20% in each forward and Midfield position against bottom teams would not do any damage. Plus there are cup games to provide more rotation and happy squad. Ole need to find this balance while choosing team, Need to make Subs in time and as per fatigue.
Since restart Bruno is playing every minute almost and since last 2 matches he felt fatigued. Same with Maguire and AWB.
We all agree, there are to many high wage players to move on, but till they are stuck with us, we are not using them to provide little rest to main 11 players, which is the only quality players we have at the moment.

Outs: Jones, Rojo, Mata, lingaard, Dalot, Sanchez.

First 11 : Hendo, Awb, 1CB needed, Maguire, 1 LB needed, Matic, Pogba, Bruno, Rashford, Martial, 1 Rf needed.

Thats 3 position up for grabs in first 11.

Second 11: Romero, Fosu, Lindeloff, Smalling, shaw, 1 defensive Mid needed, Fred, Mctominy, James, Greenwood, 2nd Chioce Rf needed.

Thats 2 position in second 11.

Now, i know there is no term as second 11 but that's very much needed for squad depth, rotation, covering injury, less important cup Games.

1 extra Gk, 1 5th choice Cb, 1 youth striker amd upcoming Midfielder for extra support.

This should be the lot Ole need to build before he thinks of settling us again back on our fcking Perch.

Our bench quality is quite poor to be honest.
McT and Fred do not find forward passes often.
Lingard and Andreas are below average play makers. When given the chance, they haven't taken it as well.

My dream signings would be Alaba, Upamecano, Saul and Sancho.
All 4 would instantly make the first 11 much stronger.

I think we’re 3 players away from having a first XI that can compete with the very best and 5 or 6 away from having a squad that can compete on all fronts.

Looking around the site, it seems Sancho, Saul and Koulibaly are all available for the right price this summer and whilst I doubt our finances would stretch far enough to pick up all 3, I’d be going all out for two of them if I were Ole.

Add in a couple of squad players like Grealish and Ake and we’d be laughing.

People will honestly find any thing to moan about .
Your best players play if fit, especially this time of the season .
Do you think Leicester will be resting vardy?
Vvd if fit plays ronaldo plays messi etc.
Due to C.V. we are in an unprecedented situation.

Anyone who thinks we are 3 players away from competing is deluded.

Why in do people keep prioritising left back?

RedWhiskey, if you watch Liverpool, their fullbacks have set an extraordinary standard.

Robertson and TAA bombard forward at every opportunity and add a different dimension to their attack.

Therefore I feel a player like Alaba would add a real threat to our attack from left back.

Rovercocastic: We’ve shown on multiple occasions throughout this season that we’re capable of competing with the very best clubs in England over the course of 90 minutes. A draw with Liverpool and 3 wins against the defending champions should attest to this.

Given that we’ve already added Bruno to our squad since 4 of those 5 results, I think it’s fair to say that adding 3 more high quality players would allow us to compete consistently in matches against top sides.

As I said; if we’re talking about competing over the course of a season, we also need to improve the quality of our squad rather than just our first 11.
