He looked way off the pace last night, his touch was awful and his little burst just saw him run into trouble. The comments before were baffling, if he's not fit just let him rest, he's not much use to us like this and we have perfectly good options on the bench in Rosicky and Oxlade.
That’s probably the worst game of Jack’s Arsenal career so far. He was forcing it all game and could have injured himself. He was overplaying and taking on too many players, making blind turns, dodgy touch and bad passing. As soon as he went off we were able to pressure Everton and mount consistent attacks without them breaking down.
I thought he was better last night than on Saturday but he wasn't at his best.
How's he going to get match fit without playing?
We don't need him if he's going to hamper us.Originally Posted by Letters
I didn't think he did last night.
He was pretty poor, I don't think it was much of a coincidence that we got on top for the last 20 minutes after we made some changes.
We were on top for the whole second half, and towards the end of the first. The changes did help but bringing on fresh players often does.
We had a very slow start to the second half and we started to dominate after the changes. It shows how crucial that midfield role is and we need everyone on their game. Ramsey and Cazorla really came to life once Jack was off and they were taking on more responsibility in the centre. There is no need to try and play him into fitness. Would you argue Gervinho should be played into fitness if he had two poor games on the trot?
I would argue Gervinho should be killed.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
