We can't refuse to select him just because he might get sent off. He has to learn his lessons and he has the chance to prove he's learnt something from the West Brom game. He should definately, 100% start instead of Jo against Stoke. The manager, coaching staff and players should all be telling him what to expect from them and should lay down the challenge to him. "If you pass this test Mario, you can deal with anything that the opposition will throw at you in this league. Prove to us that you are learning and show some maturity." It also helps that Mancini is Italian. I'm sure he'll be able to get a good message across to him. He'll never adapt to the Premier League if we don't play him against hackers. Hacking forms the basis of a game plan for many teams in this league. He has to play to learn.
