Noble unhappy when Pellegrini substitutes him
Noble writing in his London Standard Column says “The manager has substituted me a few times this season, especially lately, and we have conceded. I’m not saying I would have made a massive difference had I still been out there. But, as a player, I always want to be out there.
“I think he knows that with my output, he just wants to put on a fresh pair of legs — and I can’t complain. I like to think he also wants to make it possible for the fans to give me a round of applause, if we’re winning!
“I’ve got to be honest, I’m never happy when my number comes up but I knew why he wanted Angelo Ogbonna on at Spurs. They kept launching balls forward so it made sense.”
