Have a pop at Hendo, but he's the guy lifting the trophies, the captain, one of the 1st names Jürgen has on the teamsheet.
He didn't play great last night, but to single him out ahead of guys like Salah, Taki, Williams who were really poor, seems strange.
Shaq made some good passes, but he came on when a bunch of children were tired - he wasn't so good against Southampton. Not sure can take much from that game.
Thiago is looking the part lately after being out with injury, some player.
Williams lack of pace again shown up for the goal. Can't see how he'd play much more in the PL - based on what have seen of him, even though Nat is probably not as comfortable on the ball, in that situation he'd probably give away a foul, and he's way better in the air - would play Nat ahead of Rhys.
We have problems down the right side with both TAA and Salah out of form. If I was Utd, would target there. Both of them are wasting/loosing a lot of ball. Problem is nobody's really pushing them for a place. Jota deffo would've been for up front, but Taki still looks lightweight. Neco won't get in ahead of TAA, maybe Milner? Don't see it though. So likely both will start. Hopefully they both pull out performances on the day, they're good enough to.
