Jacko was pulled yesterday, but I thought Coquelin was more tired in the last 15-20 minutes, virtually a passenger towards the end.
Now that Jacko's out for 2/3 weeks we've got the chance to see how we get on without him. The argument about Jacko has been on and off for a couple of years now, and whenever he's out injured our results seem to suffer. I thought we missed him on Saturday after he went off injured. Lucky we signed Coquelin though.
Yep, this will be an interesting few weeks without him. Me personally - I think it's time to see how we fare without him. I would hate to see him leave the club as he has been a great leader over the years and has a few more of that left in him. However, there have been a few too many games for my liking where it has passed him by. I hand on my heart can't remember the last time I saw him play a killer pass like JJ of old. A midfield of JBG - Le Coq - Cousins/Buyens - Cousins/Bulot hasa bit more about it. It will be interesting to see if Buyens can get forward a little bit more - his pass for Tucudean a few weeks back shows he has the capability to unlock a defence.
