Say what you want about getting results etc., the fact of the matter is the coach is a f*#king madman. How can Birchall be good enough to start in a WCQ match and then 3 weeks later not be good enough to be part of a 22-man squad? Meanwhile Hyland who was obviously 2nd choice behind Birchall in the pecking order and only played after he was injured, picked up a stupid red card and is only available for 1 of the 2 matches coming up is still in the squad? Same thing goes for Stern, Roberts, Forbes etc. etc. one minute they good enough to be playing in important WCQ matches next thing they orf the squad completely? But Toussaint still there even though he hasn't been good enough to get a minute of playing time in a WCQ so far. Just madness.
Has Maturana done such in-depth scouting to be confident that Birchall's game is only suited to playing against Cuba and he will not be effective against Guatemala or USA, but Hyland and Akeil Guevera will? I THINK NOT. He might be a good coach (wait till we play stronger opposition before we pat him on the back) but his selection policy is pure f&#king madness!
Aristotle - "No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness." ... but Maturana taking it kinda far
Benching Stern ... brilliant ...
Bringing back York and not even selcting Birchall ... pure stupidity
Having Hyland in team on a red card and can't play but leaving out Roberts ... real tata
Either Maturana is a real football brain with indept knowledge of each team and how they will line up ... "ala the special one" or he have no fringin idea ... hopefully is de former ...
