Play him tonight!

Regardless of him being a bit mental he's still comfortably our best central midfielder (of all the available ones) and should be starting.

I think he will. Only threat to his position is when/if Santi comes back. He at least should be fresh. He's like a footballing Dylan Hartley* - you want him in your team when he is available

I fully concur. So much silliness surrounds the reporting of this player.

You could argue the two reds he got were harsh as well. I've seen similar or worse challenges than the ones he got sent off for nearly every weekend. It's not like he goes around kicking people like a Lee Cattermole, or that **** who plays for Burnley and spent the whole game kicking our players.

The first one is looking more and more ridiculous as the season goes on. The second was understandable but still on the harsh side

Irrespective of the red cards his obvious talent on the ball and range of passing should be obvious to all. Reminds me of the original SW in a way.

I’m just not sure AW has really worked out his midfield pairing yet, and midfield is all about partnerships let us remember. I cannot for the life of me think he spent €30m or whatever on the player to pair him with Coquelin but this has appeared to be the most regular selection to date, injuries etc. allowing of course.

Part of me thinks he doesn’t really have a clear plan or vision at all.

aha! make him captain is what I get from that.

Who is our captain anyway?
