Meslier
Ayling Llorente Cooper Firpo

Raphinha Rodrigo James
Bamford

Bench
Dallas
Klich
Struijk
Harrison
Koch
Roberts

Plus Gelhardt, Cresswell, Drameh, Summerville, Greenwood...

Plus the other U23s

We don't need a bigger squad, we just need to get past our injury curse.

Bielsa says he will only wants players better than what he has. A player will want to play, not to warm the bench, if they are any good, so do you just pick up old pros looking for a last payday or good kids?
We've got good kids and they're hungry.

Those who said Bielsa should have picked Cresswell should read the U23 sticky. He got stupidly sent off according to those watching.

So many seem to know better than Bielsa even though he spends his whole life watching these players. I think he's been fantastic for us so I'm sticking with him, no matter what.
We've been on the manager rollercoaster before and ended up with Hockaday!
Some have either rose tinted specs or short memories.

Stoke fans hated Mark Hughes even though he got them finishing top half of the PL each year. They got their wish and where are they now?

Don’t have them on the bench if they’re not good enough to start (Cresswell). Of those you’ve listed above, three on your bench started the game, Klich was available, that’s 4 players. Of your starting 11 four were injured so their places could be filled with the 4 on the bench.

You defend Bielsas team selection by stating he watches them yet you don’t offer the same logic to Hockaday?

Bielsa is living this season on reputation with us, rightly so but if this was his first season he’d have been sacked and injuries or not EVERY fan would have been calling for his head.

I’ll say it again, I don’t want him sacked but I blame him for our current position, squad size, signings, tactics, formation, team selection it’s at his feet

I mentioned elsewhere mate, what about the square pegs in round holes? Who’s fault do you think it is that James keeps getting to asked to play as a striker while Joffy sits on the bench? Who was it that said we are missing Aylings runs down the right? Ayling is back yet he is asked to play CB whilst Cresswell sits on the bench before he was injured again Rodrigo was nothing but a bench warmer.

Same issue mate, he uses square pegs because of small squad
