I have no reason to doubt Potter's words on Bissouma but we'll agree to disagree on that one.
Alzate, as a young player new to PL football should not be asked to play 3 fullish games in 8 days in my opinion.
Mooy was in the team that I thought Potter would put out and perhaps he should have...
I'm interested - who would you have played from the first team squad that didn't play? (and let's assume that illness or injury hit Bissouma as Potter said that he would play). Serious questino, not having a go.
OK, Obviously I'm not Potter but...
Button - check
Balogun - injured
Webster - needed the game time then, now saved for Chelsea
Bong - check
Alzate - saved for Chelsea after a hard PL debut at Newcastle
Mooy - saved after 70 mins at Newcastle
Groß - saved after 81 mins at Newcastle
Bernardo -...
I don't get the anger. Yes, we're out and yes there were a few more first teamers that maybe could have played, but I enjoyed seeing the youngsters not getting completely outclassed against some top top players. At 2-1 who knows what could have happened and Villa then decided to get Grealish...
I really don't think that Alzate will play - he'll be rested for Chelsea and although I said that he would be a breakthrough player this year I can't quite believe that I'm saying that! Still early days of course but he's firmly in the first team picture now I think after his PL debut.
