Sadly I don't think we'll see him today, just doesn't seem like he'll be on the bench according to silva's words. He's keeping expectations in tact I feel.
One thing I always think of when I see stuff like this is the RS. I don't remember when they do this. When they get new signings, they chuck them straight in and run them into the ground. They do it work a lot of their players, players who do well for them for a few years seem to be finished a lot earlier in their career.
Suarez already seems in decline, torres declined badly before 30, Owen was the same. They don't seem to look after the players' interests, they milk them at full throttle and then sell at the right time. Sterling did well getting out there when he was young imo.
