Villa boss O'Neill happy to keep
players in dark

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has revealed one of his secrets to
success is keeping his players constantly on their toes.
O'Neill has used only 18 players so far this season - less than any
other Premiership boss. But he still keeps his men sharp by making
them unsure if they are starting or not.
It's a trick he borrowed from Brian Clough.
O'Neill said: "I never knew for sure if I was in the team at
Forest, and as a manager I've always waited until an hour or so
before kickoff to name the team. I think it keeps the players on
their toes."
o okay............but if u named thr squad already they can
communicate with each other more or something like that but maybe
he is right to name the squad 1 hour before the kick-off seems like
it is working temporary
