Well, I agree that you need to train and hone your skills & abilities in order to play well GENERALLY, but there will always be players of any sport who perform MUCH better when in a match/game environment because of the occasion, adrenalin rush, etc.
I'm not saying training doesn't matter at all, all I'm saying is that it shouldn't be the 'be-all & end-all' for picking the  team.
IMO coaches/managers should be able to see further than that, and also be prepared to take a chance when necessary.

Hart recently said Aguero was useless in training, the same has also been said about Mark Hughes and Eden Hazard there must be many more players who play week in week out in the premier league who are poor in training but turn it on when selected to play
