Yes, did mean to say in my post obviously they know the fitness of Green better, but even still, I'd rather see him on for 45 mins to start a game and make a difference. If they are that unsure on fitness then it is still a gamble coming off the bench and maybe even more so as not fully warmed up.
Still, concede, I'm talking from a position of ignorance I guess. Always think if they are on the bench, that;s it though.
