You don't just pick your best eleven players, there's more to it than that.
How can you not play our best 2 midfielders who are fit and have had a rest ?
Best 11 every game for me regardless of how loyal or likeable they are.
It's not because they're loyal or likeable, it's because they've got a rhythm going and so you don't want to interrupt that as long as it's still working. That's a pretty widely accepted thing. It's not a question of dropping Harry or Victor. They'd be on the bench if possible and of course they'd be worked back in at the right moment because I certainly agree that they're probably our two best players, and in general terms they're obviously included in the first team.
Same reason that you don't put a substitute on just before a free kick or a corner.
Irrespective of individual abilities, I expect you'd agree that the overall performance of the team in the last two games was the best we've seen this season, so I'd recommend keeping that going until it becomes necessary to alter it, ( which it will )
Totally with this
The past two performances have arguably been our better ones this season
I’m just worried if we change it just to accomodate the others we would revert to a more containing game which as we know doesn’t really suit us
The past two performances especially on Saturday has given me great hope that we’ll stay up , so why change it
