just for the sake of it going to stop. Rotation may be OK if you had a manager that could get to grips with it, but Poch clearly does not seem to be able to rotate successfully. He has tried it in the cups with very little success, so why change a team that has had a brilliant week. Yes even I know players cannot play every game, but the season has barely started, so the players cannot be tired.
Why leave Davies out, he is just finding his feet, and then he gets rested. Dembele excels in games like today`s, and he to is left on the bench. Why play Son as left back, and how does Sissoko get to start. Also why not give Winks a go, at least he has some creativity in him.
Poch gets plenty of praise, but sometimes he tries to be too clever. Just play the players that are on form, it is not rocket science.
When is this ridiculous rotation

Can't remember West Ham losing at new Wembley. Spurs lucky with a point against West Ham.

We need to play West Ham or Palace at Wembley ASAP to try and break the winless run.

To be fair, New Wembley is difficult to win at.
Apart from us and Chelsea, everyone has had a tough time playing there since it opened in 2007.

United certainly haven't

Alli comes in after not playing on Wednesday, has a mare and plays the whole game.
Son, started the game playing out of position at left wing back as he did in the FA semi and struggled a bit but looked dangerous when moved to a more advanced role second half but still got hooked.
Sissoko started, nuff said although it is fair to say that Harry's shot which hit the bar was from his pass.
Aurier good debut midweek unnecessarily rested.
Trippier put on the left second half and all he did was negatively pass back or inside practically every time.
Llorente as a late sub whose perceived strength is his ability in the air didn't get one good cross to attack.
Is it fair to blame Poch for these these "mistakes" ?

I was gonna say Alli can pull a goal from no where but Son can hit the spectacular just the same.
Should of gone 4-2-3-1 at half time, switch Vert to left back and pushed Son forward.
When trying to win the game Dier should
of come off for a more offensive player such as Dembele or Winks.

Have to go back 11 years ago (our 2 points from 8 season) to find worse form in our first 3 home games.
Next 2 games are away and winnable (West Ham and Huddersfield) so we can hopefully keep ourselves up there near the top of the league.
Next home game is to Bournemouth, and frankly if we still cannot win in that one, we may as well just reserve Wembley for the academy kids who might take to it better than out senior team do.

Hopefully Poch drops Alli

Not sure Poch will drop Ali, but he needs to start picking the right formations. He surely has to start with two up front against teams like Swansea. Play a proper full back (Davies), and not play a full back out of position second half (Trippier). And why does he need to play three Central Defenders against a team that had absolutely zero attacking threat?
