The point that you’re missing is that your opinion of who would or should start for us is irrelevant.I’ve been one of Bissouma’s biggest proponents on here for absolutely ages. But would I like the profile of Nunes over Hojbjerg or Bentancur absolutely yes. Our 4 midfield options are good but I’d still like someone that is a genuinely great ball progressor. Skipp can punch passes through the lines and Bissouma can progress via dribbling but I still feel we need more. I guess we are stacked numerically with Sarr and Devine too but it’s still annoying to see players that would start for us go to clubs half the size of us.
We have one of the best managers in world football picking our team and he has chosen players that he thinks should start for us. Nunes isn’t one of them. Nothing else matters.
Now, if you’d rather that Bruno Lage was our manager and that Jorge Mendes was our de facto DoF, then that’s your prerogative and then you might well be right to say that Nunes should be in the starting line up.
But I think you’d be on your own in hoping for that scenario.
