Us arm chair experts think so many games are lost at selection but imo its BS.
I have to agree. The very simple assumption that underpins these discussions is that the MC knows a lot more about our own players, a lot more about opposition players, has a lot more experience, have worked for years in the industry as players and coaches etc. It is therefore very logical to assert that they have a much greater chance of picking the best team to win. There are reasons involved that we simply cannot know. Far too many supporters follow the Max Delbrück principle ; "I don't understand this. It must be wrong." The correct starting point is to assume, quite logically that the MC has picked a better team than we ever could, and to try to understand why they made those choices. Trying to argue from the opposite starting point is an argument from incredulity : "I can't figure out what the MC did, therefore the MC stuffed up."
