True. Anyone who has played and not been quite at it, get benched. You could aim some of those things at Evans. And he got moved out of the team as he just wasn't doing it. That said, the last few games when he did step back into first team action, down to suspensions, he had upped his game and did OK.
Before he got injured, Whitingham wasn't doing it either, and was in & out of the team.
If fit, Raya, Mulgrew, Lenihan, Williams, Bennet, Smallwood Dack & Graham all start. For a reason.
If you look at these sites, where people say these things, you can see my point about them not really understanding football, so they are negative. I hear every week 'why is he taking Graham off??' To much bemusement.
That trickles onto messageboards, and people say Mowbray is clueless.
The simplicity of it is, Graham is always needed in the next match, (and the one after etc) and has already done enough damage that game anyway. TM has the forsight to know it's a long season, and how to use players. The short sightedness of fans who don't get footy, but go, means these decisions get questioned.
And utter rubbish gets posted .....
