Do you really think managers should ignore the players attitude towards staying at the club when picking their teams?
Do you really think that's what I said?
I'm saying that if you don't want to be at a club, you don't just get benched. You get sent to the reserves or out on loan. Every player in the match day squad needs to be committed, otherwise there's no point having them there at all, regardless of who else is available.
You seem to be claiming that an instagram message prompted Solsjkaer to employ a policy where Matic can't be in the starting eleven, but can be on the bench, which is just weird.
In any case he's started 3 of your last 4 games, when other options were available, so it's obviously not true.
My guess would be that Solsjkaer wanted someone a little more mobile in midfield against Man City. Whether it was the right decision or not is another discussion.
I supposed we both took each others statements too literally. There is a degree of commitment, not just yes or no and lots of things are balanced together when picking each team. The instagram comment was to indicate his public position but it clearly wasn't the driver for benching him.
The January window will really show how committed the board is to the manager, as its clear players need to come in, simply for depth. If nothing happens, I really cant see how people can keep putting the majority of the blame on Ole
