But right-sided Savinho is better than any other of our players.
He frustrates and excites.
Laid 2 great chances on today for Gundogan and Marmoush that were peak DeBruyne passes
Yep. Only absolutely piss poor finishing from those two stopped him getting two assists. That ball for Marmoush was quality. He is better on the left though for me so that’s where he should play and he should be starting against Madrid too but Pep will probably go for his favoured four of Haaland, De Bruyne, Foden and Bernado.

Very good on the right but definitely better on the left.
Incredible ability to swing incoming crosses on the run at speed on the left. Haaland will gobble up those.
I'd play him on the left and let the others fight for the right hand side position.
He shouldn't be swapped position to facilitate other players.
Thats a nice thought.

Completely impractical for any manager to take this approach though.

Managers will always look to find the best squad balance.

So if there no RWs available, but all 3 LWs available, the idea of playing one of those LW in the RW spot if they can do a great job is definitely the correct choice.

With the 4 you named its even MORE likely Savio is playing LW.

Foden RW and KDB, Bernie in the midfield.

That's not what I said at all.
I said " He shouldn't be swapped position to facilitate other players"
That's what you highlighted and it means exactly what it says.

Do you know what that phrase means?

Because the situation I gave is exactly what that means in regards to Savio, literally swapping his position to let another play in LW.

What do you think it means then?

I know what it means. I typed it originally before you got your bold marker out.
I said that he should stay on the left wing position and
Doku, Bobb , Foden , Bernardo, Grealish can cover the right hand side.
As in yesterday.
Pep wanted to play Grealish and Savinho ended up on the left. I think Savinho is by far our best player on the left and should be left there.

Right... so thats exactly what I wrote that you said. You should read it again.

And I said its not practical for the reasons I said for squad balance.

If Grealish and Savio have to play on the wing, any sane manager goes Grealish LW and Sav RW.

They arent putting Grealish RW just to let Sav stay at LW.

I'm saying he shouldn't
Let's just agree to disagree on that
 
Both him and Doku are miles away. May be good enough one day but shouldn't be close to starting these types of games in an ideal world.
 
Put in one hell of a shift going the other way, not shown anywhere close to that level in that side of his game before tonight. Didn't offer enough of a threat going forward though but in his defence I can't name many times where he was actually given the ball in a position for him to get at his man. One of the better performers tonight.
