you did not get at all the gist of his post, his point is "not necessarily." imo he is right about that.
personally i would've started aguero with jesus and not Mahrez,
as i stated prematch. but hey, 6-0, i'm not arguing. :)

And where does Sane fit into all of that?
Sane has gotten more appearances than all the rest of non starters, and was superb in that roll, with all that was at sake for so long why would Pep mess with that?
Yes Sane would probably be a starter on any other team, but in the scope of our team dynamic he has to accept his role.
i think Pep's used him wisely, and Sane has been very good there, although understandably a little pouty.
Everyone wants to play, but the young guys have to realize that if they want to play for a big club and a great squad they have to be mature and put their sense of entitlement
aside, take their opportunities, and make sure their ready for when their time comes.

Sane had virtually no starts in the last 2 months of the season. There was no valid reason to start Mahrez over him against Brighton and Watford and although Mahrez did pretty well in those games, they are not exactly CL material so no saying Sane wouldn't have done better. Not sure where this pouty or sense of entitlement image comes from. Sane has come across as very mature and down to earth in his interviews and twitter comments. Bit of a media creation IMO. Also, I looked again at a few of his games earlier in the season and compared it to his sub appearances - he was definitely less sure of himself (almost certainly due to being excluded for so long) and not the fearless speed merchant we saw earlier in the season. Look at the Liverpool game - we know he scored the winner, but look at his charge down the wing for Aguero's goal - you can't teach that kind of stuff.

when sane has started he has started slowly and his overall performance in those games were mediocre some have noticed, i agree.
touching on the non starts against brighton and watford to mahrez, i'll just say Sane plays on the left, marhez on the right, so you can ring up Pep about that.
you haven't noticed Sane is sour faced regularly? pull the other one. and tell me that's not from not playing.
you said "Also, I looked again at a few of his games earlier in the season and compared it to his sub appearances"
you did all that in the few minutes since i posted? wow
anyways,
no one is arguing he isn't good, he is, and his future here will be massive if he accepts it. but to pull one example from a whole season of Peps decisions is not entirely convincing.
so your argument is that Pep has not handled Sane properly?
i think your fishing,
but Pep already has me "treble hooked"

I suspect the fact that he’s being left out suggests he’s on his way.And where does Sane fit into all of that?

What a day. From the moment I left the house to the moment I got home, everything was absolutely perfect.
It's not often you can say that. In fact the polar opposite to the Wigan final.
Whilst 6-0 was undoubtedly harsh on Watford and their wonderful supporters - it epitomises what we are.
A ruthless, relentless power-house of sporting talent on and off the pitch.

Maybe I'm getting old (no maybe about it), but those firecrackers they set off under the roof when the teams were coming out were BLOODY LOUD!

Only now catching up with the official programme (don't ask!). But..... pg 43, "City's finals recalled". A bit on Joleon Lescott playing in the 2012 final against Stoke City. Sack the proof reader!

The team played well, but Watford did give us a few missed heart beats. Great save from Ederson when one on one with the Watford striker. Once we went 1 up we were in cruise control for most of the game. This must have been 1 of the best cup finals ever. You know I felt sorry for Watford as they gave us a good hard game. Their fans were brilliant right throughout the game and never stopped singing.
Who decided that we will play Liverpool in the Community Shield. I always thought that if you win the League and the FA Cup you play the runners up of the FA Cup, since when did that change, or are the FA trying to shaft us and stop us from winning another trophy.
