Maybe we might have been closer to 7th, who knows?
RLC has been injured too often to play more than he has (as usual), he’s even said that himself.
CHO has been improving all season and earned his place, that’s what every kid should have to do. People forget it was Sarri who picked an 18 year old out of last summer’s short pre-season and promoted him to the first team squad, I think he’s been handled pretty well on the whole. The flirting with Bayern won’t have done him any favours I’m sure and I’m not entirely comfortable with players who clearly love this club getting stick whilst a teenager who clearly wanted to leave at the first opportunity gets lauded as a hero. Do you honestly think any of our other recent managers would have played him more than what Sarri has this season?
