risk management

He didn't play the previous week. He rested him for the most important home game and we won 3 nil. He wouldn't have played him against Brentford either had Ben White been available.

The risk was play a fit partey or a struggling timber.

Or the option of another formation that didn’t utilise either Partey or Timber? Possible or not ,I don’t know ?If it was.It was an unnecessary risk lets face it.

This is the first argument that has been decent so far. A formation change might actually work. You would need to play Zinchenko LWB and may be Sterling as RWB to pull it off last saturday.

Hmmm, so we're back to my suggestion about Sterling. Took you a few days.
