[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1025240, member: 56232"] It's complete bullshit. If someone like Sam Simmonds is breaking try scoring records, has won everything that can be at club level and has won European player of the year, for Jones to claim that he isn't a suitable talent is complete bullshit. Yes he may not perfectly fit the type of 8 Jones wants but if Jones flat out refuses to adjust his setup to what is available then that is poor coaching. He has more capacity to be rigid with his player choice at England than he would in many other countries but when 1/3rd of the team are untouchable without putting in the performances to merit it, that is very questionable. I doubt the problem lies with the quality of the players, the problem lies with Jones. I really wouldn't put it past him to not have form as his primary reason for choosing players and I think the whole squad is run based on personal like or dislike and very little to do with ability, form or any number of performance based metrics. It's one thing to make excuses but Jones is just telling outright lies now. [/QUOTE]
