Do you reckon that on City and United forums they fret about starting XIs so much?
I doubt it, they know that if Cunt is injured Similar Cunt will step in.
I'd say that David Silva is one of the best foreign players ever to come to English football (and yes, I remember bigging him up and and us being briefly linked with him and yes I'm still bitter).
He's come off the bench countless times, not just under Guardiola either now he's a bit older.
We need to get over starting XI obsessions, it's part of that "we can't sign anyone who might challenge our first choice team" mentality. It's small time and ultimately it hurts us, as we've seen a bit this season with certain players being guilty at times of complacency
