If our best XI is:
Ederson, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, De Bruyne, Sane, Sterling, Jesus
Then our rotation options look like:
Bravo, Danilo, Delph, Kompany, Mangala, Adarabioyo, Toure, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Zinchenko, Diaz, Aguero
Only three of the best XI started last night. That wasn't rotation, that was throwing a game away.
But play the best XI with one, two or three rotation options in and we'll be fine. That's what squad rotation is; giving different players a rest as and when they need them one or two at a time.
