I've already answered this but again I think you'd have to be very hard of thinking to believe he really thought that team was the best team available to him last night. He played a load of players who he doesn't even normally bring off the bench, he didn't do it because he wanted to give them a chance, he did it because he wanted to rest everybody for saturday. If we win on saturday then he can say it was a good plan and personally i'll probably agree. I have no issue with him making the changes, but it's disingenuous to pretend he really thought - 37 games into his tenure - that Michael Keane might have a part to play for us in future, only to realise after one more defeat that no he definitely doesn't.
*Also 'effectively' throwing a match, and 'deliberately' throwing a match are not the same thing, for future reference.
