So he can play his best.I don’t understand posts like this. Why should we bench our best and most in form player in the hardest match all season? Probably the game he’s looking forward to the most as well.
He has a history of being over-amped and then he underperforms.
Play him Midweek. Win at Hoffenheim. Start him on the bench. Bring him on around 65 minutes. And let him have a 30 minutes go at a tiring defense.
Yes, I agree he is our best plspla... But his backups (Sane and Mahrez) ate not chopped liver. They are almost as good. We slightly different skill set.
