Alls I was saying is that you said Macca was right to pick the team he did, but
do you not accept, given hindsight admittedly, that he was wrong and therefore
you were wrong too?
You only have to look at our earlier game against Donny in which we won. Surely
that must have entered Macca's mind when picking the team for Wembley. I think
too many managers go with the loyalty option rather than picking the best team
and the best players for the job. Usually these managers find themselves
unemployed within a short period of time.
You pick your best players in their best position. Remember El tel picking
Mcphail in front of dacourt just 'cos he didn't get on with him. Didn't do Tel
much good did it.
