Imma be honest? They should be unsettled. We should be keeping them a bit more on their toes, that left hand side needs some fight. Trossard and Martinelli haven’t been as good as they both could be and Merino has been upgradeable in midfield as good as he has been up top. And the rest will easily find minutes on the right where they’re probably intended for anyway.
I would go one further and say the left side has gone as far as it can. Martinelli doesn’t have the mentality of a starter but is a very very good squad player. The fact that he tried to emulate Trossard’s style and hasn’t progressed proves that. As for Trossard, he’s just limited and the easiest to upgrade upon.
