I don't understand why people are so pissed of at Torres starting. Lukaku will come on as a sub for sure and will most likely start against Villa. Torres is good, and from what was seen in pre season when torres plays, his role is more of a rotational one letting the 3 behind him attack more.

It looks like Jose understand we cant play with a lone striker up top as hull will probably defend pretty hard, instead he's opting for hte attacking 4 to just run at them and rotate like a nice 5 a side type tactic. itll tire hull out defensively pretty quick and we should get more opportunities this way.

I do understand Lukaku has more impact as a sub but it's the first game of the season, he should play after a very decent pre season. Just like van Ginkel. Kinda sends the wrong message to the younger players.

"Respect your elders" is the message i think.

seriously though, i understand what you are saying. i personally dont think van Ginkel is ready for the prem just yet, he'll need a few appearances of the bench for a while. Lukaku is way more than ready, i honestly think the striker selection today is 100% tactical. like i said, when Lukaku plays, he's under very different orders from when Torres has played.

What message? That pre-season doesn't matter? It doesn't. You players have to earn their playing time by playing well in games that matter. They do that, they'll play more and more. It's funny, because the same thing happens every single year. People on message boards overreact to good or bad pre-seasons and the manager completely ignores what they did in pre-season and pencills in basically the same lineup (with injuries) he would have had they never played at all in pre-season. Those games don't matter except for fitness!
