To be honest, Pritchard isn't really a threat to Lennon as I think his most natural position would be as an inverted attacking left player. Hopefully Lamela will become the full time replacement for Lennon's right sided position, especially if we continue to play 433 or even 4231.
But anyone who has watched Lennon over the last seven years, and more relevantly his recent invisibility couldn't possibly mind, with Lamela unavailable if (he was here and available for selection) if someone like Pritchard was given a couple of games to show what he's about at a higher level.
Football doesn't evolve if you just take the view that "he's played every week therefore he has justified his selection". That's piss poor rationale.
