The most comfortable I’ve felt with a GK for a long time. Very decent all round game. Just felt solid.
Probably says quite a lot about the state of our goalkeepers for the last 18 months that a journeyman semi retired keeper that’s been a serial Championship backup for the best part of a decade looks a class above what we’re used to.
Imagine how good we'd be if we employed SE as fitness coach, logistics co-ordinator, chief tactician, media trainer, dietician and communications developer. My God we would never lose again. And every press conference would be a hoot. It would be a halcyonic universe with never an imperfection.
Of the whopping two examples you've given, one lost at home to a club they haven't lost at home to for nearly 10 years. The other went off injured after an hour. This is the extent of the 'proof' that your way of doing things is the right way.
If our guys had started on Saturday - perhaps they wouldn't have been fit enough to start on Wednesday. I'm guessing you'd then whinge about the team selection on Wednesday.
There's clearly no point debating this with you as you never concede any holes in your logic despite the clearly contrary evidence or counter points. You're not here for a debate, you're here to shout criticism at the club / coach and shout at anyone that dares to disagree.
It's not wrong or poor from the club. They're managing players' fitness to maximise their long term output. We have a squad and I'm glad we're using it.
It’s an open board so I don’t give a f**k whether you want my comments or not. I’d rather not read your misguided, poorly articulated vomit either but unfortunately it’s something I have to suffer when reading the opinions of people I actually respect.
Casemiro has played 330 minutes for Man Utd before today this season. Burrell has played 611. So not sure why you think they’re comparable.
Oh, and just to fully expose how thin and weak your ‘argument’ is… Casemiro went off injured.
Burrell came on for the last 30 minutes. He didn’t play ‘the second half’.
So if he were only cleared to play 30 mins what are you suggesting? He should have played the first 30 mins then be removed 15 mins before half time? Imagine the uproar on here.
Beale did something similar to what you’re suggesting with Willock and it essentially ruined his career.
Also I’d imagine JS doesn’t see the replacement players as binary ‘weak links’ as you’ve labeled them as if it’s an objective fact. We’re going to need more than 11 players to play a 46 game league season. Players won’t be fit to start all of them. If we have to write off every game where the best XI isn’t able to start like you are insinuating, we’re f**ked anyway.
You seriously need it explaining to you why someone might have the aerobic capacity to perform at maximum ability for 30 minutes but not 90 based upon their schedule?
I mean we pay about 30 professionals to manage data and processes around this exact stuff but yeah I'm sure 'Gazza' on Loft For Words who can't spell 'Saito' knows better.
Can you explain why you persistently use a seemingly random combination of vowels and consonants instead of the fairly straightforward surname ‘Saito’?
