I've only started posing people with such questions, recently, as responses to my team selections appear to have become increasingly hysterical, and I find it intriguing (and amusing). Typically, predictably, the bases of their objections turn out to be weak and they have limited understanding of the game.

Lol

I don't ask for justification, I'm interested in, and ask for, explanation/reason that underpin their objections and what their vision is and what they'd rather see and why.

So, "keen" is a mischaracterisation.

You're upset because I'm not doing what you would like to see.

That's something for you to figure out and look into yourself.

You also need to decide whether you're upset that I make too many wild suggestions via my team selections, or whether it's 'always the same' from me because I'm not doing what you would do in picking Dele everytime. *shrugs*

That's your struggle, bro.

I don't care what names you want to call me for picking a starting 11 on a football forum, dude.

Get a fucking life. :LOL:
Haha wow, and this is how you react when someone poses you a much tamer question than anything you say you do of others in those first two paragraphs. Why that hypocrisy? After all, we're all told to 'listen to thinky.' Why should we do that, exactly? Please, allow us all to benefit from your wisdom.

Except that the flavour you want doesn't change from game to game, it's just permanently no Dele for some ridiculous reason that you never really justify.

Haha wow, and this is how you react when someone poses you a much tamer question..

Your 'question' is asinine as it's predicated on me not including variation regarding one single player (who I've actually included in many matchday squads, again, which you feel the need to mischaracterise for some reason).

If the question you really want to ask me is if I like Dele, as much as you apparently do, the answer is no.

I think he's overrated and has a ways to go to fulfil his potential.

If you want to ask any other questions specific to Dele, best do so in his thread.

I'm not finding you an interesting challenge, glosy.

Not much milage left in this little convo, brah.

I
I think Llorente will give the likes of Christensen and Azpilecueta to really think about in the air and physically and actually create room for the three behind him in which to operate.
Llorente is our Benteke. Wouldn't have him starting against Chelsea

That's really not what I'm asking at all, I couldn't give a fuck if you like Dele or not. I'm asking what's your justification for not including him in the starting 11 almost every single week, for the same reason people ask you why you would put Foyth and Lamela in central midfield when you do it without you ever actually responding in any way. It's a discussion forum, I'm not too sure why you're so afraid to 'discuss,' especially when you're catchphrase is 'listen to thinky.' If you're going to be so arrogant, you should probably give a reason why.

In this load of pretentious, condescending, passive aggressive waffle, you've actually gone some way to answering that so good on you, thinky. You actually answered the question while trying your hardest not to. I'm not sure 'I don't put him in my sides because I don't like him' is a great response though, but hey, at least you got there.

It’s about the time in the season that we start to rotate fullbacks each game. I wonder if we will keep that up this season. Not that I think it’s a great idea. Rose & Aurier would give us a bit more pace which I think we need against Chelsea but I’d rather start Davies. At least you know you’re going to get 100% effort out of him.

Where have you been? Poch has been rotating FBs since the start of the season for the last 2 years. The only times he hasn’t have been when FBs have had injuries.

He’s not always done it League game by league game though like the end of last season. Eg. Walker one week Trippier the next.

Why would he be? He clearly has talent and I’m sure once up to speed he will be great for us but Son is our main goal scoring threat, so has to play, Dele is on good form and also good scoring threat, so probably should play too given Kane’s absence, Lamela had a better game today and is on good form, so is more deserving, and Eriksen is our most important player in attack after Kane.

Moura is clearly still finding his way and is not in sync with the others yet. Better as an impact sub right now.
Getting a dislike for stating your opinion...

Personally I would start Lamela ahead of Dele against Chelsea. He's always up for a battle and although Dele gives you brilliance and the unexpected, he doesn't do it enough atm to keep his place and Lamela - who looks so hungry - out of the side. And I'd keep Trips and Davies in. Aurier would have nightmares against Hazard and Alonso, Rose's positional sense has not yet returned and I think Ben's lesser pace isn't as crucial against Moses.

If you want me to go into depth as to exactly why I sometimes prefer starting others instead of Dele, sling it in his thread and I'll be happy to do so.

Like I said, I don't feel the need to post a starting 11 and then write an essay under it justifying each of my choices.

Already answered questions on Foyth and Lamela re. CM; so, again, another total mischaracterisation, simply because you're too laze to do a little searchy poos - either that or you have trouble reading, which is what I'm leaning towards tbh - before you embarrass yourself with totally flawed questions.

Almost everything you come at me with is completely nonsensical.

You're not the brightest, glo.

If you want to talk about Dele, I'm happy to, but please spare this thread from your personal obsession with me.

No point Rose playing unless he is going to use his speed and take on right back, which he doesn’t be able to do, not sure if it’s confidence or fitness but either way he isn’t doing it. Some Davies gets the nod!

Hahaha again with the passive aggressive attempt at condescension, with a healthy side of ad hominem this time. It's unbecoming, thinky, but perhaps it represents the limit of your critical thinking faculties.

You're like a budget Bus-Conductor. You want all the notoriety but won't do any of the work. At least when BC promulgates unpopular opinions, he actually provides us with something that resembles support for said opinion.

And trust me, the only person who is obsessed with you is yourself. "Listen to thinky."
