To say he can’t be relied on to stay fit is over the top. He’s consistently been one of our best players this season, and has made a massive contribution to where we are right now.
But yeah, let’s swap him for the “bloke from Napoli” because a few gimps on here are overreacting to everything as usual.

He’s a brilliant player who has played more than i think most expected. Especially after a World Cup. The last few weeks, we’ve had to manage him more. That’s not criticism of him or knee-jerk reaction. Just how it is. And now he’s got an injury due to this ridiculous schedule. Someone more prone to injury like him was always susceptible.
Next season, he’ll need to be managed even more in an area of the pitch you don’t really want to be changing a lot. It’s somewhere we’ll need to address soon with better options than we have now. That’s been the case for a while.
These aren’t overreactions or anything new. You’re overreacting to the reaction
