Joe's "injury" is a mere convenience for some as he made a mistake today, that thankfully didn't cost us points. Not his first mistake this year.de niro said:pudge said:You seemingly had accepted the fact Costel will play, going as far to say you "understand his (Mancini's) reasoning"de niro said:not me, I want to joe to play, mancini has lost his marbles.
Now, you are hoping Joe plays and Mancini's lost his marbles. How can a mistake by Joe have that much of an impact on one's thinking.
joe's mistake (when injured) has no bearing on anything, you play the best 11 in every major game. end of.
I do understand where mancini is coming from cos he's selected pants as our (madness) fa cup goalie. which is why he's lost his marble.
just another quick point or two.
NO OTHER MANAGER WOULD LEAVE JOE ON THE BENCH IN A WEMBLEY FINAL.
HAVING BOUGHT/REARED TOP TOP PLAYERS YOU FUCKING PICK THEM FFS.
clear enough?
And if having to watch Costel take the pitch at Wembley for an FA Cup final is the kick up the arse he desperately needs, then good.
And what are you basing the best 11 on? Nastasic is arguably better than Lescott but he handled himself well today and Nastasic was available by all accounts. And don't say it wasn't a major game because you yourself have already said there was more need for us to win than them, second isn't secure.
I'd rather go by form, and on that basis, Joe's the one who has lost his marbles.
