I have plenty of sympathy for Mo, whether coping with Jota's loss or Mo's own fading battle with Father Time. I will always revere him as a legend of this club and one of its finest ever players.
It's also beyond debate that he is not, on current form, deserving of a guaranteed places in the starting eleven. He's not the only reason why we've struggled this season but he's one of the main ones.
He needs to be given a chance to play himself back into form but it may need to be from the bench. We can't afford to start each game with ten men just to assuage his ego or because he's been a world class player in previous seasons.
