It might also allow Mangala to 'find his feet' in the side, so to speak.
Or perhaps he thinks, like many here (including me), that Clichy needs games to find his form.
Clichy has been getting regular games for years, how many more do you think he needs to find his form. Although there was a slight improvement yesterday. he is one of the players who looks totally short of confidence. He never takes on a man anymore. When it is played out to the wing he either plays a short 4-5 yard pass or just lobs the ball forward aimlessly, he runs and stops short in no mans land and ends up getting in the way and clogging up the wing.
The disappointing thing is we all know he is a better player than he is showing, he needs to take a couple of risks in a game and get ahead of the ball and cause the opposing defence a few problems, the strike yesterday was good to see and more of that is needed
