That's my view too. Respect that a manager wants to bring in his own style. But that style has to be flexible. You have to make use of what you have and compensate for what you don't have. Every system needs a little flexibility and tweaking.
Case in point here. Harrison has been among our best offensive weapons down the left. Now he's pushed to the bench because he can't figure out how to get Sinsiterra and Harrison into the same team. That's a luxury we don't have. Marsh has to figure out how to use them together.
Our squad is good enough, We're missing one or two pieces, but who isn't. It's the managers job to make what he has work.
Huh?
He figured it out, Paul figured it out...Sinisterra - Jack - Aaronson played excellently v Arsenal...then he goes Sinisterra - Aaronson - Summerville ? Figure that out !... and behind Sinisterra you've got a freak.....And behind Summerville you've got a Rasmus scratching his head who's this in front of me now ?
Not dependent on Google, the www or 'stats' - Just a guy that puts his eyes to full use on the beautiful game ...That Ayling goal and "You couldn't script it " - Dirty Leeds B@stard.
Must dash.

Absolute madness given that Strujik was out too, Too many changes. I get the 3 in 8 argument. But we needed a win. Play the game in front of you then worry about resting someone in the next game - if necessary. Hearing that Strujik should be back for Fulham. Should have played Cooper from start. Even if we did push him through all 3, we're almost at the world cup break anyway.
And he'd had the previous month off.

Probably a bit of expectation of beating lowly Leicester. Thought he could do it with a second team. He should start the exact same team as per Arsenal
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

I understand his selection up front. We weren’t pulling up any trees and we all wanted Bamford in but no idea and never will have why he tinkered with the defence before & during. He’ll get it right for Fulham, I have no doubt we’ll beat them at home. Now where’s my crack pipe
Sounds like you've already smoked all your crack Jay? So the empty pipe won't be much cop

That match was way too easy for Leicester, a team bereft of confidence, until we rolled up. I don't get why you would take Cooper out for Llorente?
Koch n Cooper we're good against the Arse. So what has Llorente done to get his place back?
I felt sorry for Aaronson, he ran his guts out all night, he's got a winning attitude and is a quality player.
Jesse's dead man walking for me, same as Bielsa was. But God knows who try they'll turn to now?

Worked at Red Bull but has gone to the Bundesliga and done a good solid job for a few years including leading Eintracht frankfurt to there highest finish (5th)in 20 years.
Beat teams like Dortmund and Bayern and Arsenal whilst there.
Not perfect and his spell at Borussia Mönchengladbach didn't go brilliantly and his teams aren't perfect defensively.
Sorry but surely these guys have more to their game than counter pressing.

4-1-4-1 with you know who.
I don't think "you know who" is coming back Kenny. But I'm thinking a 4-4-2 to add stability and width. You look at our players and this seems obvious to me.
Looks pretty decent enough, but he's totally thrown me now and i don't know what he'll do.
Probably revert back to the Arsenal line up.

That would work for me for starters.

Huh? If he figured it out, why was Harrison on the bench last night? Harrison was poor when he played on the right. He played central against Arsenal. And even though that was a good team performance, Harrison didn't contribute a great deal. Only solution for me is Harrison plays left, Sinisterra plays right. He benched Harrison because he wants Sinsiterra on the left and that's the only position where Harrison has played well.

I have no idea.
Almost like he felt obliged to give him some game time.
In fairness, Llorenete was ok last night. But you can't leave Cooper out. Any average fan can see that our organization is piss poor when he doesn't play.
Here's an idea. If you rest Cooper again, why not have him constantly warming up level with the back line so he can shout out orders? Is he allowed to do that?

There's a strong case for saying that Orta should not select the next manager. I'm not an Orta basher like most here. But since Monk left, we've had 2 short lived firings and one success. One more firing would be a poor record for VO.
