Lost respect for Maresca as a manager tonight.
The first thing that went through my mind was that Jackson would have got a tactical YC on Sunday if he was going to sit out tonight anyway.
I find it absolutely baffling that the same thought didn't occur to Maresca.
This stuff is his actual job.

He's going to miss a game at some point. Might as well sacrifice the potential for a 20 minute cameo here rather than the full 90 in a game they want to use him.
First you run the scenario that they need him on the bench in case they can't beat Southampton.
Then you suggest they don't need him to win easy games.
Feels you're just putting forward contrarian takes to whatever I say. 🤷♂️
But looking at the fixture run, this is the ideal fixture to sacrifice.
At the top level of the game, these decisions can be difference makers, very poor.
