It’s good management - you don’t just ditch the core of the side and lose that spirit by ditching players for a player he’s been at the club less than a week. Sure the selections will evolve quite quickly, but almost a predictable start for me.

I just had a glance through today’s line ups for of the teams kicking off at 3 and it’s far from only us putting our new signings on the bench. Seems common practice. I do hope we get some subs on nice and early and put more pace onto the pitch for the last half hour.

Wasn't expecting that line up. Lets see what the game has in store. What formation we adopt? What tactics? How we play? What changes are made? UTA

I doubt Watford were either

Potter has to be showing his existing players respect, he wants competition and now he should have it with that bench, he has got them fit and they have learnt the system, it's up to 'the originals' to grab the shirt and show us what they really have in the tank.

Also, the new boys will need to see what he wants from them.

Can't wait.

I disagree I think he has started with the guys with Premier League experience and he will dip his toe in with others if needed.

It's not to say they are not ready it just makes sense.

No No you're not!

You may not have any idea when we are talking politics but when it comes to football I think your there or thereabouts!

Oooo
Er, what? I guess you don't know what that means.
How much we paid for him is irrelevant. What is relevant is how much other teams were prepared to offer for him, and I guess that wasn't enough. It's a long season and other wingers will be suspended and injured, so he could well be needed.

Same and I'm sure we will.

No use. Good luck chap.

So the new players are on the bench. Hopefully Locadia & Murray will both be up front? That would be a positive start?

In fairness, a lot of starting elevens up and down the league look similar to last season. It's not that unusual. Evolution. Not revolution.

I seriously doubt that he'd play Montoya at LB.

Me too,
he'd be on the right if it was that formation

Right, but that would be picking players with experience because he thinks it will work, not picking them to show them respect.

Well, he feels they will probably keep the ball better in the Premier.

You're just being picky Trig first game of the season lets go with him.

To put Montoya at RB then, it would be:

Montoya
Duffy
Dunk
Burn

Changing the entire team would have been ditching the core, but bringing in 1 new player wouldn't have been. And Trossard hasn't been here less than a week.
