[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1112676, member: 70552"] I think you also saw it with the England football team and Southgate. He has his favourites even though they were not on form and deemed undroppable, even if it affects the way the team plays ie doesn’t improve it. It comes across a bit as blind loyalty because they didn’t let him down in past tournaments. So there is a balance but EJ just went the other way constantly chopping and changing and no continuity in the last 3 years. Although I would say Rugby it is more attritional in terms of injuries. Still, waiting for Manu to come good after all his injuries was an indicator he only wanted certain players to play the power game despite being well past it. [/QUOTE]
