I´ll put a pint under it mate, the thing is it´s easier to manager his gametime if he starts, he does not need to do full 90 minutes every week. He can do about 60 minutes of gameplay and influence a game, he should never start two games in a week though but he should be given a chance every time we can.
Denying him game time is like denying Fowler his start for the club. Where that sweet spot will be in the league I don´t know but in total he will get about 2200 minutes I reckon and the majority of that will be starts.
He has already shown he can do this in the last 20-30 minutes of a game, he has already shown that he can keep going for 60 minutes. The next step is to get more starts and I am 1000% sure he will do that. The kid is a beast, he already got his England debut. He will have gotten directions from Tuchel how to develop, he started this summer early.
He will start a lot of games, not every game but I reckon it will be close to 1 game a week on average over the season.
I´ll take a Guinness pint after the season.
