After leaving Atletico Madrid to join Chelsea, Saul has found himself in the midst of a disaster.
Central midfielder was an untapped player for three straight matches at Premier League, since it wasn't even used in the Southampton match, Periscope follows.
The 26-year-old played 121 minutes in two matches against Aston Villa, but his debut was too weak.
Now, Saul is the age-long choice for Thomas Tuchel, not being selected for minutes, not even in matches against Zen St. Petersburg, Tottenham, Manchester City, Juventus and now Southampton.
Tuchel has not chosen a player with an injured NGolo Kante, already preferring Reuben Loftus-Cheek and Mateo Kovacic in the middle, but also using Ross Barclay and Jorginho.
It remains to be seen whether the Spaniard can reverse the situation and convince the German for more minutes. /Periscopi/
