Dimarco's stamina is insane, but wingback positon is tiring, no matter how good your fitness condition is. Dumfries is less active with attempts, delivering, shooting or crossing compared to Dimarco, so that takes extra energy. I think it's entirely tactical change and nothing else.

IMO Inzaghi should not sub him in every game. he is one of core players and I think we need give him a little more respoect
Well, subbing him, or whatever player, while you have 2 goals difference lead is not disrespect. It's more like respect, for me. It's like saying to the player, "Okay, you did your job well today, get out for some rest, we need you next match too". Even, like already other ppl said, it's not that much about the next match, but this formation with wingbacks is really hard to play for wingbacks which are crucial positions, so you need them ready as much as possible.

I'm totally okay with Dimarco starting every game and is subbed off almost every game. Currently one of our most important players.

Fair enough, guys. It seems I overreacted a bit with his subs.

It’s a very tough position to play in, especially the way Inzaghi have decided that our wings should play. If we don’t Sub these you eventually burn them out before the season ends. So No it’s not disrespectful, as it’s actually taking the players physically health into consideration. We need to keep him fresh for a very long season we won’t if we use him for 80-90min the way we require him to play.

This idiot is the prime example of how we're a joke as a club. This kid is 20 years old, Milan born, and has never looked out of place when I've seen him play. In fact, he has always looked promising. He was the captain of the Italian NT at a few youth levels, as well as their designated set piece taker. Home grown player who would qualify for Club Trained status. I'm not pretending he's a future world class player, but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind he could be AT LEAST an average left back.

What do we do, instead of giving him a chance? We splash 25 million on Dalbert who can't dribble the ball without looking afraid. Then when we (allegedly) have offers for Dalbert and can clearly see the dude is awful, we STILL decide to give him another chance (and exclude him from our UCL squad) while telling Dimarco to F off to Parma.

This isn't even me overreacting to one goal, I complained about this when it transpired. Liverpool are starting some 19 year old schmuck named Alexander-Arnold at RB, and we tell our promising players to go fight for playing time at a relegation club.

But you're actually wrong, we did the right thing to loan him out and let him develop at smaller clubs. Who knows what would have happened if we had decided to keep him?

What we did wrong was buying Dalbert, and that's completely unrelated.

He would've probably been better than Asamoah if you ask me but we'll never know.

I would agree if you said Dalbert but that would have stunted his growth most likely. Asamoah was much more useful for us than Dimarco in his first full season here, until he mysteriously disappeared due to some unknown injury.

Asamoah was the better player at the time we got him. Unfortunately he just never found the form he once had..

Dimarco is 70% mentality and training

No, the right thing would have been to give him tangible minutes here. He was good enough to play here when he was starting for Parma, before Perisic reinvented himself. But whatever, it worked out in the end.

While I always rated him, sending him on loan when Spalletti was here made sense. He was a defensive liability for that 4 man line without a proper DM in front of them.

There's also the fact that Conte had him for 6 months and only used him once for like 3 minutes before shipping him away for a mediocre Ashley Young, who at least showed some tenacity at the time.

Young was better than mediocre.
for his first three months, then was mediocre at best. Useful, yet mediocre.

Let's not forget that until Perisic became the starter over him, we were all over the place, leaking left and right, and had no consistency. Then Eriksen started becoming a starter over Gagliardini and we looked like a contender.

Young being used for 15 minutes a game was useful. But he was still mediocre. Just like Victor Moses was a mediocre player, but he was useful for the brief moments he played as a sub. The luxury of having 5 subs and swapping wing backs every game. You'd have completely different views on Young if it weren't for the 5 sub rule.

If you didn’t say Victor Moses, I would’ve never remembered him at all. He was here for scudetto? I honestly can’t remember
