As for Jack making the difference....last seasons stats say otherwise. He doesn't score or assist much. Too early to make him the saviour of this club and I think we all may expect a bit too much of him this season.
sorry maybe i should have made it clearer, i was watching the game with friends from southampton who had seen oxo play a lot and kept saying how he should come on as he'd tear the full backs apart. hence why i wanted him to come on. and the way theo played oxo couldnt have been much worse.

jacks looked class in pre season, slicing the defenses apart a number of times. thats what we lacked yesterday. if it had been jack in djourou's position in the 90th minute im sure jack would have slipped rvp through, or at least got the ball in front of theo and not behind him on that counter we had. a number of times rosicky was in a position where he had to make a decision, often making the wrong one or his pass not coming off. jack would have been totally different, we would have had a sense of control and audacity in the final third.
