Reverting to hindsight - good tactic

How is that hindsight? Surely questioning something before it has happened is the opposite of hindsight.

Unless the meaning of hindsight has changed of course

ultimately the line-up is irrelevant, if we start like we did against the Hammers we're in trouble, we need to start like we did at West Brom or at home to Chelsea. Ruthless and dominant from the start in every game.

Genius.

Something might have happened behind the scenes for him to make that decision, why do people just presume it's rotational and done for footballing reasons?

Because it wouldn't suit their agenda

What it means is you failed to answer my question of whether you could effectively rotate but instead decided to wait until after the game to decide whether Pellers has, even though you have no idea why he has picked the team he has. But each to their own

Bar Caballero starting, i don't see any unexpected names on that team sheet.
With David, Mangala, Kompany, Ihenacho and Bony injured ; what room does it leaves to Manuel ?
The front free of Aguero-KDB-Sterling has been proved effective, no need to change it.
Away at a half decent team, a 4-2-1-3 formation with Yaya behind the strikers is a solid system.

If we drop points today, this site is going to erupt, that's if it hasn't already.

Caballero always plays 2 games when he comes in. Pellegrini said last year he prefers keepers to play consecutive games. It's not an agenda. It's what he said!

If people didn't "flap", as they put it, then those telling them off would have nothing else to contribute.

No Joe? Other than that, i think its a stronger, slightly more cautious team with fernando in for nevas. Lets just get the job done today by coming out quicker from the first whistle.

I love the match day forum, it's a flap a minute :)
