New poster chaps
I can't get my head around the team selection.
I like the fact cupoftea makes changes, but surely start with the best 11 and adjust accordingly.
You need lemina to fight in the midfield, I like moutinho, but bring him on at the end of the game to slow the play down if you are winning or up for a draw.
Traore needs to come off the bench?
2 up the front Cunha and Costa/Jimenez
Bueno on from the start
Gomez, neves, Matheus mid.
I don't understand

Welcome to the site kenny the hib, I don't think you're alone in thinking that. It's like we don't have a 'best team' as every week it's different and we seem to have bought players, even as recently as January, but choose not to play them.
We've either got a squad full of players who don't care or contrary to what we believed aren't good enough. Or, it's the team selection / playing style that's messing us up and blunting our attack. As I said in my earlier post it's like controlling the game is the primary objective and just hope goals might follow.
We've gone from being an exciting counter attacking team with a stingy defense to delivering flat boring football with a leaky defense and an aversion to scoring goals. Why? it can only be playing style overlaying the damage done over the last 2-3 years in terms of player acquisitions and departures.

The bottom line for this team, whoever starts is that we play so slow that the opposing team gets 10 men behind the ball. I am not sure how the manager can not see this, when he is supposed to be top class. Moutinho shouldn't play any further part in the season he slows it down even more. Troare is the fastest thing in the league and not one of the last 4 managers has said go full speed at the defence. He receives the ball and waits for 2 defenders and then goes. We need some sort of form and the best way to achieve this is to play a settled starting 11. Unfortunately the manager doesn't seem to have a clue who they are.

I would even start neto instead of nunes right now. Nunes can’t play on the left wing. Why the obsession of three coaches playing him out of position?!
