What is Carlo expected to do if the players aren't fit to play 90 minutes?

The hammering he is getting here from some before the game has even started is ridiculous.
It's easier to not lose by playing your best team and going a goal up, than playing the same proven bunch of losers and going a goal or two down and expecting by half-fit subs to turn the game around for you.

Took a couple of read throughs to see what point you were making here! So you are saying to start 'half fit' players?

This is fair comment. Just as fair, however, is comment suggesting in September and again in January that our squad is just not deep enough in so many areas to account for the inevitable injuries and suspensions that we will suffer and are suffering. That didn't prevent a significant coterie of the fanbase talking us up for top four.

All we're seeing today is the chickens coming home to roost. Coleman, a proven loser in derbies, is back in the line-up when right-back has been a weak position for at least three years now. So, while I sympathise hugely with Carlo, he can expect to endure quite a bit of criticism over the coming weeks as our season unravels predictably.
 

A very welcome surprise.

With DCL and Allan not fully fit this is probably as good as it gets, provided we've not gone 5 at the back because that's never worked for us.

...we were poor when Rodriguez played instead of Sigurdsson against Newcastle but I don’t suppose he’ll be getting close to Richarlison anyway.

What would your line up be then? Because apart from a half fit Allan and DCL we’ve hardly got that many options have we.

Don't get this half fit though,.if they are on the bench they are ready to play football matches

Allan was on the bench last week wasn't he?
If they aren't ready to play don't put them on the bench
