Maybe Sarri should have given him some game time before now to get him ready. Might have been a sensible move given we are playing every 3 days, have a 35 year old striker, another striker carrying a yellow, an injury prone winger and Bernardeschi.
Usual Sarri not learning how to use a squad and it cost him. Don't forget Higuain scored on his first game back v Lecce then sat on the bench thereafter.
I agree. Our priority should be to get Higuain fit even if it means that this epic Dybala Ronaldo form takes a hit. Thats was when we dont do well we can blame Sarri for not properly using those players.
There is a benefit and negative to everything. The negative of Higgy not being prioritized yeasterday was that he wasnt fit. The upside is Ronaldo and Dybala have scored like madmen and have developed a great partnership.
Rugani not playing showed what will happen yesterday. MDL and Bonucci have formed a top cb partnership and now a guy that was mocked earlier this tear is being talked about as a top 5 cb.
Getting Costa some minutes and playing around with his role in the team has meant hes making an impact in other ways now.
If we are going to put every knock on Sarri we also have to look at what he accomplished by not making Higuain super fit and Rugani in form.
I would be really surprised if people would disagree that if we are to do well in CL than it requires
1.more productivity from the mids
2.Dybala and Ronaldo(our top 2 players) to be in form
3. Our defense to bee solid at the back.
I think hes done a good ob at this currently and hes doing exactly what weve been calling for. Focussing on getting a team in top form for the cl even if it hurts us a bit domestically. We are up 7 points in the league right now and dont see it becoming a race again
