I think the lad Cheek is a decent player to be fair.

Jack is a very good players also but tournament football and the demands of a game every few days means the coach has to make certain choices. The nail in young Jack’s coffin as such was the recent international break when he was called up to the squad amid much media song and dance, and then proceeded to drop out on the day of the first match.

He is not a Neymar or even Neuer figure who perhaps demands to be called up despite injury concerns.

If we are to be really honest with ourselves his performances this season with us were not of the standard as to demand inclusion. He won praise for staying fit, not necessarily for the standard of play.
