He only got 9 mins in the loss to Arsenal too. It's not like we are stellar when he isn't there.
As I have said all season. It really doesn't mater where you look. We have tried so many lineups - strong - weak - mixed and the results are pretty much going the same way. A few decent wins followed by dreadful form.
Our best form of the season and the only time we won more than 2 games on the bounce was with Elliott in the side.. A 4 game winning streak v Spurs, Southampton, Villa and Leicester.. including our only consecutive away wins.
We shouldn't have fucked about with our brilliant in combination right side trio of last season at all, especially with Mane leaving and new lads coming in, it should have been left well alone as a source of stability, creativity and goals, that should have been obvious
