Neither I was just saying that it could have been him which would be great given the situation with him and Jose so shame he missed it but still positive certainly.
So Mata in the middle, brilliant. After all the comments from Mou I expected him to be on the right flank trying to adapt to a new position. Essien with the armband? Probably because he is the longest servant, out of those boys.
He has always been like that, just like Rooney. He is willing to run 100 % even in the 98th minute and that's something I admire in him. There are issues about him being content in a club though.
