I get all of that for sure, just object to your notion of what he should do (even if I know you dont really mean it, but is just frustrated, its still too much for me to read) and honestly I'm glad he wasnt subbed in last game, dont like the idea of 15 mins substitutions for Ale. Cant do anything meaningful, especially when protecting the lead. Prefer 30 mins at least (Conte in general barely makes subs before 75th min), or the occasional starts to show he can be useful to Conte.
Because as usual (but especially in this current scenario), Ale has to "prove" himself in basically start of every season for very long time now. Naturally quite different this time around, every coach has relied on him too much last seasons (say too much because mainly been average limited teams, unlike this season), mainly for creavitity and leading with experience on the pitch.
