Re: all this endless *** about rotation (well here's some more)


it is balanced in that it honestly points out flaws in the team, such as
wastefulness in front of goal

It's presented as the truth, but it's nothing more than another plausible
explanation for Liverpools failure to win the league. You can make lots of
these plausible explanations and many of them will have some degree of truth
to them but it's impossible to say exactly why Liverpool haven't won the
league. Yes they were wasteful, but why? Maybe because they didn't play
enough to get that extra edge...who knows...

the statistics are used to prove the point that while , yes, rafa rotates
his team, other top managers did it to the same degree. why have fergusson
or mourinho not been pilloried over this percieved wrong?

Because changing the team because you have to and changing the team even
when you don't have to is two different things. Maybe they did rotate the
same and maybe they did change the teams when they were forced to the same
amount of times, but the statistic presented in the article tells us nothing
about that.

statistics are great when used in the right context, why dont you try it?

Why don't you? Statistics will tell you what you want to if you aren't able
to be critical and when you are chasing a certain agenda. The´statistics
presented in the article are exactly out of context and lacking so much
detail that it's really useless. It tells nothing regarding the matter of
rotation.

show us how many personnel changes were down to injury, and how many were
down to the managers whim. for all three. this will add some weight to
your argument.

No it would add some weight to the article and that's exactly what it's
lacking. That would be a useful statistic, unlike the ones presented.

to satisfy your curiosity, i would play my strongest side week after
week- but this would obviously result in fatigue, injuries etc. this is
why a big squad is needed.

Me too...and tired and injured players are obviously not in the strongest
team, so you would always play your strongest 'available' team.

this is a worthless opinion though, as i am not, or never will be a
football manager. i just enjoy watching.
