As cheap jibes go... that one is flawed!
Turkish is a 1980s manager, doesn't understand how 21st century sports science works with returning players and thinks not injured = straight into the starting XI
Alternatively... Walker-Peters is but is returning from injury and Hasenhuttl is happy with the good performances from Ward-Prowse & Smallbone and doesn't feel the need to change.
A pundit's job is in part to discuss incidents and the rules, even as former footballers a lot still don't understand the rules. The BBC, Sky, BT etc should make them all sit a referee theory test before being allowed on air!
Ok... regardless of style... which of their players would you want in out starting eleven?
I guess people would make a case for... Pope, Mee, Tarkowski. But anyone else?
