A strange decision this one..
Only just read about this but I have to say I find this particular decision by Thomas Christiansen..well quite baffling to be honest.
O'Kane played with cracked ribs on Sunday and had a pain killing injection before hand.
So he was clearly not fit to play and anyone who says otherwise has never suffered broken/cracked ribs..let me tell you right now its f*cking agony and can take a while to overcome..took me 3 months!
So..bearing in mind its a Yorkshire derby where there is gonna be some rough and tumble..your in midfield and you are aware you have cracked ribs and in some discomfort..you aren't gonna want to get too involved in any kind of physical clashes are you?
So we have Vieira/Klich on the bench..and he chooses an injured/unfit player ahead of those 2???
Not being a neg head here..far from it..but I think this decision to play O'Kane was absolute stupid and his performance would back it up!
Early days for TC and like the rest of you I am desperate for him to succeed but I am becoming baffled by some of his decisions and tactics.
Needs to learn quickly otherwise you can forget about the possibility of a top 6 finish.
