Bench Players are part of the first team, they should be inserted into the starting line up frequently. That allows them to develop, gain match fitness and give their teammates a chance to rest. Ole uses his bench players as a reserve team, giving them a few games together in the same lineup. Consequence: our best players are too tired by the end of the season and our bench players have no match fitness. The young among them, such as Tuanzebe, stop developing.

I half agree but half disagree.
Stops the youngsters from developing but also the large majority of our bench players just aren't good enough!

Telles, Mata, Matic, Bailly, Tuanzebe and DVD are very good players. They are just ignored by the manager.

And the GK situation

None of these players would propel you to a PL title or a CL win

DVD a fantastic watch

I think Ole has rotated the squad in areas we have decent depth. Main Issue is we don’t have good enough back ups for most positions. We have the biggest collection of average CBs ever assembled at a top club, so Ole had to play the same duo of every game because changing it will most likely to compromise the results. Same goes for for FBs.
He probably should have rotated CMs a bit more but I can see why he persists with Mcfred given how crap our defense is.

They really are not. They are average at best, and Mata and Matic should have been sold couple of years ago.

We keep giving these players new contacts, so the manager must think they're good enough.

Don't get why we've barely seen Diallo. Barely gets 10 minutes and looks very promising.
Even though DVB hasn't impressed, he does look tidy but the teams play style doesn't suit his movement and one touch play.
CMs shouldve been rotated a lot more and that includes Fernandes, Pogba, McFred... VDB doesn't get played and we don't have any other decent CMs to rotate with. Definitely need another 1-2 CMs and a decent CB from the next transfer

I don’t know if Ole is solely responsible for giving out contracts, but it is one of the biggest management issues at the club

I think our crap defense is the main reason we don’t get much rotation at CM. Middle of the park is too open when pogba plays there. It’ll be probably same with VDB, but he doesn’t provide the attacking output pogba does.
