Noelie 103 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 When I saw Allardyce's starting line up I knew the best team was not on the field. Any confidence I had in Big Sam was seriously eroded today. Why he would start Zoggy at left back rather than Enrique escapes any logic. Zoggy is best wide left. Why he would start Taylor rather than Beye also escapes any logic. Taylor is not a natural right back, Beye is, and Taylor is too ambitious in his getting forward leaving a hole at the back. Why he again played Milner on the left I'll never know. Milner does better wide right. Why he replaced Owen with Martins beats my imagination. Martins should have been brought on much earlier but for Barton. not Owen. Am I the only one who is unhappy with Big Sam's team picks and substitutions?

Am I the only one who is unhappy with Big Sam's team picks and substitutions? 99% Can't have too many complaints with Milner's performance on the left today, but I'd still have had N'Zogbia there in my starting XI.

Noelie 103 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Why do you always feel your personal opinion is worth starting new topics about, and never worthy of going in any of the one, two or three existing threads about that same thing? Because a new thread albeit based on my opinion separates the wheat from the chaff and expresses one persons thoughts out front rather than have them lost in an endless stream of comments which don't necessarily address a particular issue.

Agreed, and I find that disturbing. I can understand why he doesn't know his best starting 11 yet. He only took over the squad about 12 games ago and has also added 9 new faces to it. Most were complaining last season etc we never had a big enough squad so he has tried to fix that problem. Most on here change their prefered starting 11 week to week, its a bit ironic that Sam continually gets slated for the same thing. Confidence in his best team will come through games and what he sees on the park in competitive games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he's consitantly playing players out of position its not surprising he doesn't know his best 11, as someone said following the Reading match "the game was lost as soon as the teamsheet was pinned to the wall", that sadly will be the reoccuring statement of our season, in my opinion.

I totally agree with that line Things aren't going 100% our way but we're still considerably better than the shite we were pushing out this time last season. It goes back to what I was saying in the summer in that this season is about consolidation. We've changed the manager, the owners and a lot of the team - it takes time to build. I don't remember Robson setting the world alight in his first season here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor at rightback ? Barton on the wing ? Smith in midfield ? Subbing Owen for Martins leaving a fucked Viduka on the pitch ? hhmm ok. I forgot, you're good at FM aren't you? My mistake. I shall defer to you on all matters of team selection from now on. EDIT - the point is Jimbo, the bloke has sent the team out only 12 times, and yet people keep talking about these horrendous errors in team selection. 12 fucking times and everyone's an expert. It's a load of bollocks. He makes mistakes, I've said that, but I'm fucking sure that none of us know any better than him.
