Arteta chose Jorginho against city because the primary aim was taking the sting out of City and then putting on a player with more legs later on. I think we can and should show more ambition than that against Chelsea
When i say 'unreliable' i mean in terms of his fitness - I'm not saying Partery isn't better than Jorg WHEN FIT, however his fitness is just such a big permanent question mark that i tend to discount him from my thinking when considering what our lineup should be - I'd maintain we should have sold him in the summer and got someone more reliable
