Ok, I'm not denying that, I believe he's picking the best players, I don't believe he's not picking Biancone, for example, out of loyalty. I think it's because he is not better than the CBs ahead of him. Just because those above are doing badly, it doesn't mean that he would come in and do any better if he is considered a worse player.
Surely if he's not playing, it's because the players in front of him are better. In fact, the fact he can't get in the team despite them not doing great only reinforces this point. If he was good enough, then he'd have got a lot closer to getting in the team.
Maybe, another point for a different thread about Cooper or managers so feel free to move it however if another manager comes in I think they'd pick broadly the same players as Cooper after watching their game footage and training performances.
