Stop Treating Lamine Yamal Like a Savior

Watching Lamine go down just now made me physically sick. We are literally betting the entire club's future on an 18-year-old's hamstrings.

I wasn't even watching the game by the end. I was just staring at his legs every time those defenders clattered into him. It's actually pathetic-we have a pitch full of grown men, but the second things get tough, everyone just stands around waiting for a kid to save us. That's not a tactic.

It feels exactly like Ansu Fati all over again, and I can't do this again. His body is just going to give out if we keep throwing him to the wolves every three days.

I'd honestly take a 2-0 loss this weekend if it meant he stayed on the bench and just got to rest.

Stop treating him like a savior. He's 18. Protect him before we ruin him.
