It was a hard one because he’d done so well at Bournemouth. This is the Champions now.“But he’d done so well, it would have been hard to think, right, I’ve chased after you, I’m going to pay this money and not play him.

And last season, I think Robertson would be the first one to say that he didn’t have the greatest season. I always felt he was the one coming off.

So, I don’t think he’s got that much of a case to say he should be playing in the game.
