Good thread below on casimero and his good form.
The real difficult the manager has is also a blessing for a different reason for the season imo and that is that we only have 1 game per week.
So with less injuries and a lesser requirement to rotate some players are getting very little game time.
Ordinarily if we had 2 games a week 18 to 20 players will be in the starting 11 over 30 times a season minimum. But that 20, if players stay fit And results are OK will become 14 or 15 so there is no doubt that its going to be difficult to keep them happy. Going out in the league cup compounded the problem.
It makes it hard for mainoo zirkzee heaven obi and academy players to get a decent look in. We've been on a decent run for the last 4 so its pretty much right to go same again next weekend its hard to put up a case for changes.
So the 11 that started plus mount maguire and dorgu are the main 14 he picks from if all are fit. i'd expect martinez to come into that to make it 15.
Casimero is benefiting as will bruno and deligt in particular.
In a 60 game season very few players start more than 40
In a 38 game season the top guys should be starting 30 plus, if available so it doesn't help the 2nd tier.

Good post Shappy no deliberate mistakes either, I am impressed and I agree yes there are 14 main players for RA and for him to go same again…quite like the workings of how many games players play per season that don’t help 2nd tier.

Maze. Maybe you should get some 'red tints' so you can see who's post you are trolling.

Monkey, I'm detecting a strong smell of sarcasm from his opening line, mate.
