Not sure why people don't trust most of the players that had a great campaign last season. Manquillo and Moreno? to push them straight into a fast paced prem game? ease them in over time, players have to get to know how the ones next to them play.
That's just it, our defence didn't have a great campaign they were carried by our attack/midfield. We've lost Suarez and have to improve in our weakest areas as quickly as possible, why prolong the agony of watching Johnson bomb forward lose possession and amble back?
With regards our LB area, it is going to be a change anyway, it wont be Flannagan who was our player in the last campaign. Enrique is coming back from injury so it's likely that Moreno is in better shape anyway so with that in mind I'd rather give him the game time which will see us in a better position moving forward.
You'll notice that outside of our defence I only made one change and that was forced because of Suarez's absence. Like you I think they did have a great campaign up front and not much needs changing there at all. As it is Markovic wont make it as he hasn't recovered as quickly as I'd heard so more than likely we'll sub in Can and shift Hendo.
