Field reverting to staring at the man with ball whilst pointing out the f*ckin obvious back pass making it quite clear he has no intention of even thinking of receiving the ball far less actually moving into space or heaven f**kin forbid playing a neat 1 2 or something.
It's like we don't know how to progress the ball down the pitch as s unit. When Santos and Varane 'combine' on the right they are both in a race to be the first one to turn back and play it back.
I mean what is our 'strongest team' anyway? I would say we don't have a definitive one yet. Got a lot of players developing this year who may well end up in our strongest side.
And anyway this slightly mythical 'strongest side' was f**king terrible against a sh*t Sheffield Wednesday. I'd have been bothered if we didn't make any changes! We did and we improved. Sure, we could have been a bit more at them first half although I end up thinking that about most of our games.
I guess people's emotional response is more from accumulation over the years.
I think people are winding themselves up a bit here. That was not a really weakened team full of kids and Hamalainens like we may have played in the past.
We've just paid millions for Celar, Madsen and Varane, we've all acknowledged they need minutes to develop and get used to English football and now we're losing our sh*t because the manager had the temerity to start them in a match in a 3 game week! Bit OTT.
Many have already talked about Walsh pushing Nardi and being the keeper of the future but now we must never play him in any game and he should just train and sit on the bench for a year!
If you think Frey can play the best part of 90 minutes 3 times a week you haven't been paying attention. He's had one great game and now Celar must never start?
Dembele was the only obvious quality miss and he still got a half, let's not Willock him to death just yet. He'll be playing more than enough minutes and taking more than enough kickings this season.
It's like some have already forgotten we were absolute dog turd against Wednesday, we made some changes and put in a far superior showing today against some excellent players. I can't see how Colback and Frey would have made much of a difference.
