In all fairness, he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. All season long people from all forums have been saying Darikwa isn't good enough to be RB, Benny isn't a LB, the 3 Portuguese lads aren't up to speed yet, Murphy's not good enough. Grabbans not doing anything, Soudani should be starting cos he's a beast, etc etc, the list is endless and I could go on!
He has had to allow for Robinson and Byram to come up to speed in terms of fitness levels, but they are still not match sharp yet.....that may take another game or two. He was forced into making two of the changes due to injuries to Geddy and Grabban.
IMO, Figuerido has been poor over the last two games and has been carried by Fox. Watson has been shocking all season. He is constantly slowing the game down, passing backwards and sideways instead of forwards and getting the pace up, which is how AK's system works best.......it em at speed and in numbers. Bridcutt should at least be given a chance to show what he can do. Pantillimon, should be dropped. He just isn't showing enough effort at getting to shots coming at him. How often do you see him dive to cover his post if a shot is going wide? Very rarely. He seems rooted to the spot.
Maybe AK does know what his preferred starting XI is but due to the fact some of these players are not exactly doing anyone any favours with their poor performances, it gives him no option but to chop and change!!
