It's more straightforward than that He plays a player he 'likes' until that player is 1. injured, 2. unavailable or has 3. 'let him down'
Likes = rates, believes in, however you want to couch it. Even if they have fucked up (Ayling), he won't drop them. Either they can prove him right and vindicate him, or not. See 3. I can't think of a player who has missed out, who doesn’t fit the 3 criteria above. Even the first 2. He doesn't believe in rotation (unless it is a cup, which he doesn't seem to care about anyway) I can only think a tweak in formation would bring a 'new' player in for someone else. E.g. dropping a central midfielder. He does occasionally change it at half time, which could be an acknowledgement he got it wrong, or equally changed to suit the game dynamic. E.g. last week Harrison off, Costa on. Was Costa much better? Will Harrison start again, most likely. Unless Bamford is injured, suspended, has a shit fit or strop, I can't see him being dropped. Even if he had a goal drought. -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard Naef Sent: 18 September 2019 14:47 To: David Smail <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] LU: Eddie v Bamford? Yes you've missed: Nketiah just joined, maybe still not up to speed with how the machine works Bielsa watches him and Bamford every single day We are Top Bamford has scored goals and gets on the end of chances And not being rude, but Bielsa has coached and managed at the very top and you have?......

In Bielsa we trust? I don't get why he insists on starting with the semi out of form, frustrated and unreliable Bamford when Eddie is so sharp, full of confidence , terrorising defences and scoring for fun. Is Bielsa trying to justify the Bamford purchase price by starting with him? Is he relying too heavily on Eddie to put things right when Bamford is having yet another off day? Could it be that he's using Bamford to tire out defences to pave the way for the fresh legs and scoring habit of Eddie? Perhaps he was so impressed by Bamford's training ground exquisite volley that he's convinced he can replicate the same in real live matches? I can't think why Edie wouldn't be in his starting line up. Have I missed something?
