Full strength team, its all down to the manager. under-strength team - its largely out of the manager's hands unless his second string are almost as good as his first string.
Jay knows this but is trying to get extra mileage to his argument by being a pleb.
Lol, so it's down to the manager as long as his players are good enough.
You are getting there finally - it's why the vast majority of any success comes from the players.
If all the teams were equal in playing personal that is when managers come to the fore.
Jay we have been saying this for the longest time. At the top of the game with the best teams there isn't a big difference between the players, thats where a good manager steps up and makes the difference and takes the team forward. Thats always been the argument, thats why its not on the players, its always on the manager, good or bad, I have not changed my stance on this for years. Thats why I refer to "shit Wenger", the players were not shit - he was !
