Welcome to English comprehension for ten year olds. I agreed with the sentiment "I'd go with Timmy myself". This is substantially different to "there are better options/solutions sitting on the bench/ in the stand. As for Friday the way both teams are playing at the moment we will be beaten but if Pete makes the changes we will give ourselves a chance," or 'Pete has gotten it wrong'.
If you're going to call me "pathetic", I'll retaliate with 'arrogant' and 'semi-literate'.
