My frustration (this season) has been that when Knockaert has seemed to be playing well, he has either been withdrawn or dropped. A couple of times Solly has appeared to be having a difficult game (Izquierdo as well), yet Knockaert gets withdrawn or left out.
I guess the counter argument as you say, is that he has come back stronger and also Locadia has come into a rich vein of form.
But at least twice this season, if I had been Knockaert I would have asked the reason for my omission.
I think the reason he is subbed is because he has run around like a headless chicken, tracking back, defending, attacking, more often than not he is bollocked and it shows, so he is the obvious choice to be subbed. Basically he puts in such a shift, he is knackered by 70 minutes.
