Sheva was a god in his first spell, but he sucked donkey balls in the second. true story! even if he'd been given all the time in the world, he still wouldn't have overcome the mental block that was keeping him back from playing his normal game. he just shouldn't have come back.
How is someone not supposed to suck after a disastrous past? (ie. played out of position at Chelsea, injury woes at Chelsea, and then returning to a club where he was once a Living Legend at, only to be accepted by a fraction of the fans, not to mention his own coach, and possibly even one or two members in the dressing room)
If he were given more playing time, I am convinced he would have over come a bad patch, I saw moments where he was showing potential, and he even managed to get involved in plays now and again where it was seen.
Once again, I am not going to deny that my bias my play a part in speaking for me, but I'll be honest by saying I usually make fair calls (regardless of the circumstances).
The question was raised over who should have been benched in order for him to play. No one said that had to have been the case, but surely his substitution appearances could have had a bit more length to them, as well as being a bit more frequent.
I've now lost my train of thought
So I'll stop here.
