I am not trying to suggest that Sanchez has behaved like a perfect professional, but it is understandable that he didn't feel able to be all smiles and support in the dressing room.
I don't remember Nicky Forster getting as much spite and vitriol aimed at him for being difficult with Poyet.
De Zerbi said “With Robert, we spoke before the Arsenal game and we decided together the best solution was to stay home”
He then went on to say “He decides everything. Robert decides and at the moment it’s like this. He wanted it this way, not me, not the club.”
I don't know, and nor does...
I am saying that asking to not be in the squad if he wasn't going to be playing, was unlikely to be a problem, was not immediately dropping us in the shit, and if his head wasn't right, might well have been better to have McGill anyway.
Caicedo was out of order with begging to be sold to...
Wouldn't know, I watch footballers play football, I don't follow them on social media, give a shit where they get a hair cut, eat their lunch or anything else they do when not playing football.
There was no immediate problem with having McGill on the bench rather than Sanchez, as 99 times out of 100, at least, the keeper on the bench, stays on the bench, and McGill was probably in a better place mentally to step in if he was needed.
Understanding someone behaving badly is not the same as advocating someone behaving badly, I am starting to think I have a different understanding of English to some of you guys.
When was the last time we called upon the keeper on the bench to step in anyway?
Trying to remind people of the difference between asking to be left out and refusing to be involved.
I imagine there are situations that even a hard taskmaster like yourself would find it acceptable to ask to not be involved, might you consider it reasonable if he was just so gutted at realising...
