Yea, i do think maybe he should get a few starts, but I also can see why he is such an asset bringing him on in the 60 (ish) minute to get fresh legs running at a tired defense. Tactically an amazing and amazing tool in the toolbox :P !
If i was Mancini, i'd try to mould him into a messi type player.
Get him running around the park behind the strikers, pass n move. Not just stick to the left. Play him everywhere, get him to link midfield with forwards, play 1-2's around the box, dribble more. etc etc Forget crossing. More direct play.
He's a squad player like they all are and if used correctly will benefit us in the long run.
You can't play everyone in every game all the time..........rotation is key!
It's a long long season and we're only into October. Everyone in the squad will get plenty of game time. Trust RM to shuffle when needed. AJ is good but after the 20minutes he had today he was blowing so obviously 3 games in a week takes it's toll.
