I would love to ask AW why AOC is not playing.. here is a player who terrified the City defense a few weeks back and he cant come in ahead of deadwood like Arshavin and Chakma?!! What does he have to do to be playing ahead of them at least? IMO, he is better than Walcott by miles and yet not even getting off the bench!
I can only imagine he is trying to keep the spotlight off him. I'm not sure I understand the point of it when a) it might benefit the team him playing and b) he's a talented English player in the English league, having the spotlight on him is something that will he have to deal with anyway.
