I don’t hate the line up, if it was any other team I could see the logic with having hard workers up front to try and keep it tight for 60/70 mins then bring on Sulemana/Onuachu for the last 20 to try and nick a goal to win

Unfortunately we have seen that this line up doesn’t keep things tight and we will be 2/3 down by the time it’s time to bring on the options from the bench, so at this point we may aswell play the most attacking side and just try and score a couple during the whole game
 
You're right - definitely not. He's most likely picked the players who have been the most committed in training.
I don't know how so many people on here find the time to be present at all the training sessions at Matchwood. Obviously I must try harder to really know what's going on. Am I surprised at the line up, could be, am I disappointed at who's been picked, possibly, etc etc but then Selles and his team presumably are a bit closer than all of us as to the effort etc being put in by individual players. Let's see!
 
I have no problem with AA if he has someone tall to head the ball onto him like Paul. Doesn't work with Walcott and Ely. Days like this make me think back fondly that we got to see players like Lambert and Pelle and sad that this is the current state of affairs. The last 3 games we have played no strikers and now we are playing the one who even when playing well for Blackburn scored on the wing when playing with an out and out striker.
Yes, the days when you’d go to a game KNOWING one of our players would score - a lifetime ago ☹️

I don't given a flying **** about training. This isn't Englefield Green under 11's where we are trying to reward hard work/commitment. This is our ****ing PL survival that he is dicking about with.

Those players are ****e
Those players have been ****e all season
Those players will be ****e this evening.

So either Selles does not have a single clue, or more likely he is being told not to pick the players we can get some £ for.

Sorry but that's bollocks. If you haven't noticed, Lavia would be the player we would get the most money for, along with JWP and ABK. And look, they're all playing.
