It's not that i don't want him in the team it's predicting the best line up to suit tactics and opponent. There's not much in it but he misses out on this one through no fault of his own. Gus may see it completely different.
I won't be in any way disappointed if Jack starts, nor would I question his selection. Love Jack me. Always rated him. It's lovely to finally have quality options.
Its unbelievable, he is far steadier than Cattermole and is improving, I have a feeling that if he is overlooked, he will peak elsewhere and who could blame him.
Reason why I went with Colback in the original selection is that he is very good at keeping the ball under pressure. That part is going to be vital to us on Saturday because if we give it away easliy at Arsenal that's going to cause us major problems. Catts distribution on Saturday was a lot better so hopefully that continues. With Bridcutt in there as well we have steel in the spine of the team. It will be interesting how the tactics will work for this game because it could become a template for all the remaining games except maybe Norwich where we could go 'balls for glory' to chase the win. The huge thing for us at the moment is the options from the bench. Can't recall for a long time that it's looked so good from there. Really fancy us getting something out of this one especially as Arsenal played yesterday and have a Champions League game.... Gus will certainly get this one right....
