Why would you drop Aldo and Trippier in an important first Euro match? Nobody has played well in our last 2 games but why single them out, they are two of our best players? I don't think Sanchez is a better player than Aldo and Aurier is an accident waiting to happen. Poch did this a couple of seasons ago when he dropped key players for Euro games and it failed miserably. It's all very well blaming the players for our poor form and rightly so but he has to have a good look at himself lately with his line-ups and substitutions. He could end up the manager that everybody likes but never won anything.
Pochettino gave a reasonable explanation as I see it and I think you're reading to much in to it. The bulk of our squad look knackered so I fully understand if Pochettino sees the need of rotating players. Especially as Liverpool and Inter three days apart is a tough task.
