WBA fans discussing team selection and which players may come in.

I miss those days :lol:

Must be nice to have depth and options to.

We have depth and options, we just don't use them

Cast you mind back to the Hull game and how fearful we were about Jarrod Bowen
But what happened Stuart Dallas did a number on him so he did not get a goal
not even an assist, and for WBA the danger man is PEREIRA

Pereira is one of the most exciting players in the division as his tally of ten assists
is the joint-highest of any player in the league, but giving Dallas specific instructions
to hound Pereira in the same way he did with Bowen in early December would not
be a bad idea at all.


Lets see what role Dallas is given... any thoughts?

God knows mate. For his steadfastness (or stubbornly depending on your viewpoint), Bielsa is capable of surprising you from time to time. Dallas would be the best shout imo, with Ali on at 70 to harass the tired defence whether we're ahead or not.

Apparently Bielsa gets some of his ideas from reading the press.
This was recently revealed in an interview with Adam Forshaw...
Specifically the idea for taking short corners.

Quote:
“If for whatever reason the manager may have seen something in the press that he maybe liked, maybe an analysis on a certain player or something, we could have a meeting on it and pick things from a certain article that had just come out that week. If it’s any one per cent that can help us, or maybe it’s just a different way to look at it sometimes when you can’t train out on the field.”


I would say that rather than being stubborn, Bielsa is open to new ideas.

It's a good job he doesn't get ideas from football forums, as we'd only be starting with 4 players each game, as apparently the rest aren't up to it.

Or Gessa we'd have 18 men on the starting team so we all maybe be right then.

Anyone seen Millwall sneaking into the top 6 today, had you asked me where they were in the league, without looking, I'd have said near the relegation zone. No gimme games in this league
