Subject: Is Harry Wilson a reserve player or 1st teamer? Berge/Lukic don't start every game, are they 1st or reserves? Muniz or Jimenez? Traore? 15 different players have started for FFC this season, Castagne will make 16. I would argue only Cuenca of those 15 is counted as a "bench" player right now - everybody else is up for consideration to start and MS picks based on fitness, form, and tactical fit. The idea that Andersen is a "reserve" because Diop is playing well is kind of strange.
In reply to: Hg 's message, "Are you one of those who believes transition is new method in football and not just a fancy name for counter attack? Non first teamers are reserves. You can call it something else but that’s what they are. You make out like reserves didn’t have exepectations to be ready at any given moment when needed. News shock they were. So call it what you want but it’s all the same. And no I don’t think any big money signing who is worse than the player he was intended to replace, is a success." on Friday, December 20, 04:43:34pm

  • Argument doesn't work here. We used to have reserve teams and leagues because a 1st 11 was almost static with others as mere backups. Now we don't because the game has changed. Last season 493 players made starts in the league last year: just 20% started 75%+ of their team's matches. The average was 16 starts. Last season Tosin started 18 in the league, Diop 16; the year before 23 vs 21. Who was the "reserve" in that relationship? If Andersen replaces Tosin why should we expect that to change?
