If Pep is being honest about his selection reasoning then we should be pissed off at Sané.

Because imagine how shit at tracking back you have to be for Mahrez to get picked ahead of you? The guy with 3 starts in the league since December, the guy who hasn't even made it off the bench in our big games recently, who isnt exactly a defensive colossus either, his defensive contribution doesn't go much past simply being physocally present in our half when they have the ball.

For Sané's vastly superior talent to get outweighed by Mahrez's defensive work then he must be completely taking the piss in training.

I agree, it can only be Sané’s fault. Clearly an attitude and/or application issue. But it’s not a new thing, Pep has been trying to get the penny to drop with him since day one. Yet he seems further away from what he wants than ever before. Very real chance he gets moved on for someone Pep trusts.

My only reasoning for him not starting is that Pep 100% needs him against a lightning fast Palace team and then hopefully against a tired Spurs team.

But Pep should be playing him for me and we look far poorer when he isn't playing.

It’s up to Sane to make himself a guaranteed starter by performing in training. We have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. I doubt he’s just being left out for shits and giggles.

I think we’re clutching at straws with this one..... if he can’t play 2 games in 5 days, at his age, there’s something wrong. I’d be inclined to guess that this is a personal falling out between the pair, more than likely Sane questioning Peps authority in some way.. it needs sorting though as he could be the difference at the moment!
 
I suspect the original plan was to play Bernardo. The late injury probably meant it was tactically simpler to swap in Mahrez than play Sané and change things.

I don't know more than anyone else what's going on but there's a lot of unnecessary speculation going on with Sané.
