Not like you Marvin, being one of a very small minority seeing what everyone else doesn't.

lmao

Joe won't even be on the bench today as he's been told to find a new club and also we have signed ter sagen

I dont hate Joes distribution, as in I personally don't see that the as a big enough reason to dump him. What I really dont like about Joe is his constant habit of sticking to the line and not coming out of his box, be it for one on ones or for crosses. He is very suspect with corners/crosses. I have seen a lot of times that Joe hesitates and thinks twice about coming off the line to collect the ball even if the odds are in his favour compared to the attacker and suddenly the chance becomes a one on one which it shouldn't have. Tough to explain it on here, but its more clearer in my head haha.

Also those quotes from Pep are quite clear about him not being happy with Harts distribution and he isn't going to wait around to see if it improves.

Is this really down to footballing reasons or is there actually something that we don't know about perhaps? Attitude? Open mouth? Etc

I love Caballero as all the fans do after that day at Wembley but come on, Caballero over Hart???

Have you answered your own question?

Whatever Joe's perceived shortcomings (and personally I think most of them are hugely exaggerated), I wouldn't select Willy, whose distribution pre-season was about as diabolical and inaccurate as it is possible to get, ahead of Joe under any circumstances. If the intention is to begin the season with Willy acting as a de facto sweeper then we are likely to find ourselves conceeding self inflicted goal after self inflicted goal.

Spot on

Are your basing that on the pre season friendlies when this system was new to everyone?

They have had a little more time now to adjust and the CBs will be developing also. We need to just see how things pan out.

Being honest, do you think Joe has good distribution skills?

Spot on

And I suspect Pep is aware and prepared for that as he knows when we eventually get our act together it is for the long term better

It's the timing of all this that baffles me ....

Willy is not a good goal keeper as in keeping it out of the net,if he can dance with the ball at his feet means nothing if he is poor at keeping the goals out,i have seen enough last year when he only kept one or two clean sheets
