While I agree that Martinelli's end-product has been poor for some time, the Brighton game was another reminder that Trossard is far less effective when he starts.

Would it be stretching a point to suggest his frustration at being left on the bench actually contributes to his effectiveness when he comes on, making him more determined to prove a point?

I also think he benefits from Gabi having run the full-back ragged for 70 minutes, so Leo has the advantage of tired opponents when he replaces him.

PS. That jibe at Sterling hasn't aged well has it!
