It's a fairly typical way of looking at it, but the differences between the two might be a factor, one which AVB must be aware of through experience.

I still think Coco will come good given some starts and would love to see him combine with someone like Holtby who can egg him on. Maybe now Eriksen is injured, some shuffling might give Coco regular playing time..?
