He will give some bullshit about the players earning it due to training all week Dunno like, I reckon starting Fraser is a pretty hard decision, I know I'd struggle to make it.

Conjo Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Really can't wrap my head around keeping Almiron and Willock on the bench. I could to some tiny small degree see the benefit in keeping it tight and unleash them onto a tired Crystal Palace team, but against Chelsea it's very risky to assume we'll be able to contain them same way. Game will most likely be over when it's time to sub them on so won't matter anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Awful line up. We should have shipped 5 or 6 against palace with that line up. Think we actually will today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Get rid of this bloke man, he is withoubt doubt as much of the problem as Bruce was, that line up is absolutely shocking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 So we can safely say the love in for Graeme Jones is over. It just goes to show how bad Steve Bruce was before he came in that we thought he was some messiah. I think he can quite easily do a good job with the reserves side, but that would be up to him if he’d take the step down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 We have to remember that the bloke is a coach, like, and a competent manager will judge him on that in time. If he had influence over Bruce's team selection, tactics and managerial decisions as it appears he did by his own team selections, then that's an indictment on Bruce, not Jones.

Smal Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Do you remember when we had Rafa and the line up and system would be different pretty much every week to counter specific threats? Here we are lining up the exact same way against Chelsea as we did (unsuccessfully) against Crystal Palace last week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I dunno like, Fraser was persona non grata under bruce and he's 2 for 2 under Jones. It's just he's swapped wrong choices for more wrong choices. Our best 11 is just about obvious since we're so thin on the ground but people involved just can't seem to figure it out.

Chris_R Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Shit lineup. Like, genuinely dreadful. You could understand letting him try his thing for one match, but it didn't work. We were awful with this team vs Palace, absolutely dreadful, which we all expected when we saw this lineup, but to have that verified and then play it AGAIN is just incomprehensible.

Jordan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 We’d genuinely look better with the bench playing. Other than Gayle and Shelvey, every player on the bench is better than one starting in their place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I’m surprised Shelvey went back into the squad after that shocking cameo against Spurs, honestly thought he was going to be blacklisted and sent to the reserves until January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I imagine he's picked the same team because they've spent all week improving on last week. It's not necessarily a great idea, but it will have allowed him to focus on improving upon last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'm reluctant to kick off about the team as we've played really well with some strange starting lineups over the last 3/4 years, but fuck me, Ryan Fraser was woeful last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 He's also referred to how the players are training. To me, he's suggesting that a few aren't pulling their weight. Could do with Fraser finally putting in a good performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
