It's because Dumfries refuse to extend his contract, so by some unwritten rules in Italy he deserves to eat the bench.why is Inzaghi starting Darmian ahead of him again ?
did i miss something ?
But why not playing fresh Dumfries from start and then play Buchanan who looks like real threat.I'm going to say that it was right to start Darmian (and Mhkitaryan & Calhanoglu too). Playing fresh Dumfries against a tired Lino is a typical Inzaghi trick. Sure, I would start Dumfries now that we are up front and Atletico will go on the offensive, but how Inzaghi managed the first game was good enough for me.
This is the key. There needs to be a balance (left vs right) and bringing in fresh offensive player on the flank is a weapon you need to have in your pocket.I'm going to say that it was right to start Darmian (and Mhkitaryan & Calhanoglu too).

I don't hate it. Unlike many here, I don't think he can fetch that much money to begin with.
