If fit enough to play, Pontus has a great chance to cement a place in the team. I think Alioski has been a bit off key the last two games but Harrison hasn’t done enough to convince me he should start ahead of him. Another feather in the Bielsa cap because when replacements have come in they’re not quite slotting in as well as the first team 11, seems he has been spot on with squad selection so far.
Wont be much use if hes managing Mexico though, unless youre a closet Mexico supporter. **** Im off topic. Delete me
Could be a very interesting team selection. I agree with what you say, based on Bielsa to date. The selection that's really interesting me is at CB. If Nessi gets picked ahead of Pontus, I think there might be ructions. I've heard Bielsa speak glowingly about Nessi, but not about Pontus. Interesting situation.
A bit left field, W.C., but I like your thinking. Indeed, it had never occurred to me, but now that you've mentioned it.....
Because others have And I joke about things I’ve never seen Eire’s sofa but I talk about it A lot about it actually
Got to be careful with his confidence, yes he's made some mistakes but if we make a swap just based on those then we'd have to swap Blackman when he makes mistakes then we have two keepers with fragile confidence. If BPF hadn't made that fantastic save in the last 10 minutes we'd have lost 3-2 and dropped 2 points. Strikes me that much like the defence Bielsa is not going to worry about the individuals there as much as he is about making sure they don't have as much to do by being pressured and closed down higher up the field.
I'd keep him in for sure As ive previously said its up to Blackman to take his chance and dislodge him via the cup
Here's Eire's new sofa please log in to view this image And here's Shako's new sofa (just a little shorter)
No, others hadn't, Chippy has on a regular basis, and maybe 1 or 2 others, but they were serious, not joking.
