1 injury to Adams or Roca was always a problem.

Having to use Sam Greenwood out if position.

Don't like the line-up. Ayling has hardly had any minutes yet thrown in - is RK injured?
So Llorente plays full game and is then jettisoned, Cooper apparently fit enough to play 2 1/2 games but not 3?
Building Bamford's fitness up, presumably with him starting the last game he is the preferred number 9, but dropped today?
Greenwood in the DM role why not give Gyabi a chance? Hopefully the attacking side of Greenwood may be beneficial.

Just smacks of depseration and him not knowing his strongest XI and also not knowing what type of players are needed in the role in his tactics.

Hopefully I will be proved wrong and we will win comfortably.

We certainly agree on this.
He’s dropped RK for one supposedly “poor”performance. If he’s carrying an injury why is he on the bench.
That’s a humongous weight on Greenwood’s shoulders. All this fiddling with the defence. Fiddle fiddle fiddle

Jesse likes to rotate, we have played 3 games in 7 days.

Our options to rotate aren't great but that isn't on him.

He demands a lot of his full backs and Kristensen has played a lot this season.

Firpo isn't fully fit.
Bamford isn't fully fit
Adams is likely Injured.
Summerville is young and probably feels he needs more experience.

Rotation is something Jesse likes so assume thats why.

Sky just said Greenwood up top and rodrigo off him like a 4-4-2, i doubt that.

I think he's going Arsenal game, Rodrigo up top, same 3 behind and Sam alongside Roca with Roca more holding, if it works it could be good and i like it, only he knows what he's tried in training, quite intriguing.

I'll plump for Ayling MOM today and a 3-1 win.

Best of British Jesse, it's either egg on ya face, or you're choosing the team v Liverpool (you'll be doing that anyway)

Kristensen has played a lot. Really. These modern footballers are mollycoddled. He’s a big strong brute and five minutes ago he’d had a couple of top forwards in his pocket v Palace & Arsenal

Nothing would surprise me today Kenny. It could well be 4-4-2, as Roca looks very vulnerable in the DM position. However if it is, then Gelhardt should be the prime candidate to play off Rodrigo and not Greenwood.

Heaven knows what’s going on in Marsch’s panicky head today. Watch him make a hash of the subs either way.

Yeah but they all need rotated at times.

Ayling to hopefully try and keep Willian quiet and hopefully get up the other end of the park.

Greenwood always played 9 or 10 in the reserves when he first came here: can score goals...

I don’t get this Bamford fitness excuse when it comes to putting a chance away - composure, technical ability and confidence are what counts. The disallowed goal against Arsenal shows he can do it but consistency has always been his Achilles heel. The ball has to be just right for him, he does not have that ability to tailor his technique and body shape like a top forward. Hence why his conversation rate is very poor. I just hope that when he comes on something falls his way.

It looks an awful line up on paper, no DMF to protect the back 4, best defender sitting on the bench, Harrison on the right where's he's failed regularly

Summerville best player v Leicester dropped, (way to back your players Marsch.)

What does Gelhardt have to do to earn a start, 6 changes and still no Joffy. We've played 4 games in 5 weeks sorry Marsch but that's not even close to "a busy period"
