You have too much time on your hands.

You have too much time on your hands.

Welcome.

You remind me of the first time I saw the inside of a bar.

I thought: They don't just sit there and drink, do they?

Your round.

[Apparently so]

That can't be, surely. Even the mathematics of that would be huge odds:1 that you could do it.

Imagine you start with a team of:

A
BCDE
FGHI
JK.

By changing one outfield player for the next ten matches starting with (for example) L for B, then M for C etc. you would have played 11 matches with different teams, with 21 different players. (i.e. After game 1 you just change each of the outfield ten giving 11 different teams)

Now start again with V in goal for the 12th match giving:

V

BCDE
FGHI
JK

Then for the next 10 games again rotate L for B, M for C etc and that gets you 22 games.

Then take a player, say 'W' back from injury who hasn't played yet and he plays up front:

A

BCDE
FGHI
JW

That is 23 and then rotate V for A, L for B, M for C again for the next 10 games, that is 34 games with 23 players.

By doing the same with just one more player each time you can get 10 further games each time. Thus with only 24 players you could in theory have 45 different selections. And that is with very fixed positions (e.g. J only selected as a striker) it would be even more possible selections if, for example, you dropped J into midfield and re-selected K to play upfront with W. In fact that looks like a good team!

It would be a ridiculous selection policy, but then again..............

Good grief

that's a joke. whenyou look at what happened malky at Cardiff there are some clowns in charge at premier leagueq clubs

I'd hope Fergie and everyone else in authority will do their utmost to get  Renee Mulensteen back to United to help Moyes steady the ship and restore the winning psychology.   You can't expect to run Ferrari on your own having been in charge of Ford the week before!!

Fergie needs to disappear into the sunset.It's not helping moyes every time a goal is scored the camera cuts to him.

he's posted his hospital pass now just go.

I'm sure Moyes has more to occupy his time than watching United games on Super Sunday...

I'm sure he does as well.But you think  the constant media focus on the ex manager is helping then?

[magpie seanie]

I think getting Meulensteen back would be a very positive move. However it would be Moyes and/or United admitting they were wrong to get rid of him in the first place. I think in this situation pride needs to be buried. If Meulensteen is as good a No.2 as I suspect he is then it could actually end up working out very well!

[rodney trotter]

Muelensteen was very smug after the game last Sunday, smirking at the tactics by Moyes after the game. Doubt he would want to work with him. Anyway Moyes replaced him last summer and the rest of the back room team, if was to bring in some else to work along side him it would hardly be someone  he let go last summer.

[magpie seanie]

Well Moyes did admit Meulensteen knows the United players better than he does.

[rodney trotter]

True, I dont think it would happen though.
