Two keepers again. Bit mad.
Kristiansen, Daka, Soumare, Castagne once again told to **** off. Clearly plans to name none of them in his squad.

Oh, and where is Praet?
He's with Souttar.

Haha. Forgot him as well.
Hard to keep track of how many expensive footballers we have gathering dust.

EM already at BR levels of making a point via team selection.
Wonder if he's feeling worried/frustrated yet.

He’s definitely making a point that those players have no future at the club. I sort of like it, but I recognize it’s all a bit extreme and chaotic.
We just really need these players gone. I know everyone keeps saying “you can’t get rid if no one wants them” but if there is absolutely no plan to use them, which is becoming apparent, we probably are better off just taking whatever deal we can get almost irrelevant of finances.
You can’t name two keepers on the bench every week without it impacting squad harmony. Also, there’s no getting those left out back onside. Praet, for example, must be spitting feathers.

Yep. It smells of a frustrated manager doesn't it. What a daft situation for us to find ourselves in.

Doesn’t every manager make a point with every team selection?

Praet may have a knock apparently. Would likely have taken Wards spot on the bench.
He’s very clearly told Daka, Soumare, Castagne, Iversen, Souttar and Kristiansen to stay away.
That’s around 100M in transfer fees sitting at home. Not sure I’ve ever seen anything quite like it.

It doesn't say much for our youngsters that there are two keepers on the bench: surely, it would be better to have a young player even if he isn't going to play...

More evidence of the stellar work done by Bodger Rodgers......

It’s a very clear, consistent and correct message, something you could never accuse that smarmy **** of.
At least we can all understand what he is trying to do and partially buy into it.

Doesn’t help Enzo further his point though, I suppose.
It’s hard to justify, but I’m trying.

I’ve fully bought into it.
Love the message of dropping the players completely. Hopefully give a really strong indication that if you have the chance to leave and don't take it then you won't be playing.
But two keepers is a bit silly unless there are some practical reasons why putting a under21 on there doesn't work.

Hopefully someone in the press corps ask him a very straightforward question.
Why do you keep putting two keepers on the bench?
