As a manager you have got to try to set those standards and I think he has made the right call.
But I'm not sure the message will get through (to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang).
It sounds as if he has been late many times. It will keep happening and he will slip up again, it's in his character and it's in his make-up.
He will do it again at some point, it's just the way it is.
The manager has to set the tone and the example. He's fortunate to make the bench. The fines are huge now, but, if he started doing it in 2017 and is still doing it, well, he might never change.
