The only reason at all to waste any time on him, is if we are having an injury crisis. So, if he's made it clear he doesn't intend to stay, he shouldn't be anywhere near the first team squad, or even train with them, for that matter. Why waste resources on someone who doesn't want to be here, and we don't need.If he’s not staying, I’d just drop Eriksen entirely. No point wasting a spot on the bench.
I think the extra pace and creativity is important to break them down. And it's also necessary for Jose to be able to evaluate the whole squad under match conditions.
Honestly I would say I don’t have a clue about Mourinho’s game to game management besides the obvious (low block counter attacking in big games) but he’s supposedly changed his style in the last yearso I think we should wait and see how he’s really going to approach managing us game to game.
