It's one match, and Vieira's probably just way more impressive in training.
Vieira got dragged more or less on the half and Smith Rowe still didn't come on—if anything that suggests preference of Vieira isn't decisive. Vieira was utterly pathetic.
I just see very little mystery here. We've got a player with fitness problems, who's been badly out of form whenever he's been seen, who also happens to have bags of talent. We have few fixtures and none that aren't vital, and there's heavy competition for Smith Rowe's preferred positions.
Wow, how incredibly baffling he doesn't get selected ... 🤔
