So even if we go out there and thrash West Brom 5-0, you believe he, our manager, still needs to come out and explain to us why he picked the team? SURELY, the only reason ANY manager picks a team is based on the fact that he believes it to be the strongest and most suitable against the opposition? We have no idea what goes on behind the scenes in training and the manager is the one who knows about players fitness levels and training performances. Stop moaning, watch the game and enjoy.
