A lot of overreaction here. Brand new manager who had a shortened preseason of fixtures and large squad that he is still familiarizing himself and putting trust with. He needs to see some of these players in pressure situations of games that matter and would rather he do wholesale changes here as opposed to not playing our best 11 in the league.
Some of this is just luck of the draw as we had the hardest fixture getting a PL team away in our opening round. Most managers would have the luxury of more preseason games and a couple of weak opponents in this Cup to get a better grasp on their team.
