Do you think sitting on the bench and never coming on is going to help him get match fit ?
The hope would be that at some point soon we'll have a run of games we're comfortable enough in that he can come on for half an hour.

As long as Kane, Eriksen, Dier and Dembele perform a million times better than the rubbish they've served up so far far this season that team should be enough!!

What has Lamela got to do to get a game? Made a real impact as a sub and out performed those starting ahead of him, plus he brings hard work and hustle.

Have Brighton still got that 36-year-old RB? Stick Lucas out on the left and give the ball to him as much as possible, IMO.

Always changes the full backs as annoying as it is.
Annoying and I don't agree with it. Whilst there are a few players who may need a rest, I also believe that Aurier needs some continuation for us to see the best of him. He put in his best performances last season when he had a sequence of games then he got injured.

Ffs Poch, has to be something wrong with Wanyama and Winks fitness wise. Baffling how he’s giving so much time to Dembele and Dier when they played WC and have played poorly all this season

I really don't think they've been helped by the tactics so far. Hopefully today is a return to what we know.

He ran his bollocks off against Inter and probably needs careful management given the seriousness of the injuries he's suffered since coming to us.

The stupid rotation of FBs hasn't done us too badly over the last few years.
We did equally as good when we didn't do it too.

For me it doesn't help continuity in our passing play.

I'm all for rotation but it's overkill what we do with our FB's

Maybe Poch sees this as the reason why? Start him on the bench because he mostly has an impact from it.

Can't believe Sanchez, Aurier and Lamela dropped. Let's encourage playing shit by dropping the ones that stood up at the San Siro.

When players are off form Poch tends to still play them, it's his way of getting them back in form. Eriksen and Kane and Deli are prime examples of this, so i think it's fair to presume that this is the same situation with Dier. He's obviously seen as an important team player, I'm sure Poch knows what to do.
I think Dier actually had a better game on Tuesday evening after a nervy start.

Dier had a better game? You were watching the same game as the rest of us?

So many people clamouring for gazzaniga to start get there wish. Let’s just hope he doesn’t let them regret it.
