I'm fine with Fraser dropping out of the squad, but I'm confused about Cornet dropping out too? Unless he's injured? Why did we sign him?
Manning? FFS Taylor had a really good game on Monday and was one of the few who did their best. Why drop him now especially for Manning who was poor in the Championship and hasn’t got near the first team so far this season?
Agree on Manning. But can't agree on Taylor. He wasn't bad against Bmouth, but I'd say he was a long way from being really good. Fortunately Martin's decisions today will have zero impact on how many points we'll be taking away. So he can crack on with whatever.
Manning played in midfield during pre season didn’t he? Im expecting a back three with Manning one of the three, but if it’s a four then wouldn’t be surprised to see Manning in midfield
No idea what Martin is doing here but A. That isn't necessarily a bad thing and B. Won't stop us losing comfortably
Hard not to conclude that Martin is panicking. Taylor who has looked pretty decent is now benched. Fraser and Cornet, who started four days ago, aren’t even on the bench. Manning who hasn’t been seen all season, including in the cup games, is now starting away at Arsenal. Onuachu is now on the bench as one of four strikers amongst the subs. It’s just not very coherent at all.
I think you might be right, but I also think he has no idea who “his” best 11 is, with the size of our squad there is so many possible combos and we obviously haven’t found the right one yet
