Zidane only started using Isco when he was on form and playing well. I can count on one hand how many good matches he's had for us, this season. Even a blind man can see how talented he is, but he must be fed up with fighting for a starting spot, by now. This was the season when he finally had a golden opportunity to push other players down the pecking order, but he's been about as opportunistic as Asensio. It may be a controversial opinion, but I think Llorente has been more impressive than him since the season started. He's a fan favorite for a reason, but no one's going to start him if he doesn't actually play well. His complaint that other players are treated like they have less to prove, looks quite silly when you consider how little he's proven when he's been given the chance to do so, this season. He's played 16 matches in the league, and they've mostly been underwhelming performances. I really don't understand how and why some of our players believe they should start when they're playing like shit. It's such a negative mentality.

Dude If Isco has been bad, others has been worse. Bale has been shit. Lucas is shit. Asensio is shit. yet they all get playing time and this clown of a manager lefts Isco out of 18 player list all the time. let alone playing him.

there is no justification besides personal issues. and personal issues have no place in a team. look at Sarri. Kepa refused to come out in front of everyone . but Sarri benched him for one game and played him the next. Ozil had problems with Arsenal manager. he was benched few games and now he is playing again.

a manager has to MANAGE this situations in favor of the team. not make everything worse. leaving Isco out all the time was a 3 way lose. lose for Isco, lose for Solari and lose for Real Madrid.

Your ignoring the fact that he had a major operation and came back too early!!

Let's take a review of Isco's season!!

Isco was the best player of the Spanish NT this past summer.
He like most of the team started the season out of shape from WC efforts.
He may have had a couple of decent efforts in this time frame.
Then he got a major operation and returned too early and he never actually got back in playing shape when Solari took over.
We can't really say what went on between the two, but to say Isco doesn't have a place in this squad particularly after he's behind Bale, Lucas and Asensio is a bit ridiculous.
