Am I missing something here about Martinelli? Is there any reason, other than a lack of other options for him to still be playing game after game?
Everyone highlights martinelli (and he has been shit lately so I get that), but no-one mentions trossard at all Nwaneiri should be starting tonight and I am sick saying that - this fool doesnt give a shit how out of form a senior player is cos he will start them ahead of a young player every single fcuking time
Do we even need to win this game tonight ? I havent looked at the table but people keep saying that we will qualify in second gear, so every time a champs league game comes around I wait for the expected rotation and every single time we are going with the strongest available team - this clueless cock is killing these players
I know exactly what you mean, Augie. If you have a player out of form, you need to bring in a fresh face just to show the rest of the squad that there's competition. If you keep picking players when they're not doing what's needed, you're right back where we were under Wanker; players getting game after game and no pressure on places. It's a sobering reminder of how little depth we have if Martinelly and Trossard keep getting starts and Sterling is probably the most likely replacement.

Totally agree with this post.
1. Pointless playing the first team in these CL matches with our injury situation
2. Trossard is having a very poor season - Martinelli the better player
I know we’re supposed to be laying off Martinelli, but he literally does make the wrong choice almost every time he’s a choice to make. His ability to skin a player on the outside and get a shot away is non existent
