Everyone assumes from his lack of involvement that Sherwood doesn't rate him. Having seen his performance in the Stoke game, he might just have felt that he couldn't afford to let someone accumulate to the Premier League at a time when we were fighting for our lives. He was getting knocked off the ball so easily against Stoke that it's a valid point.
The Stoke game really pinpinted his weakness, he is probably the most skilfull player at the club but he has to be able to cope with aggressive defenders.
Personally i think those that are saying he might get a chance now are dreaming and live in a world of pure hope. If he rated him he would have played. It is that simple for me. No 'he was weak against stoke so wouldn't be able to cope with the battle', bollocks, he just doesn't rate him. And in my opinion he's very wrong. I just can't accept persisting with N'Zogbia yet not giving Gil another chance. It just doesn't sit well with me. Even if he came on again and looked terrible, atleast he would have had a further opportunity to prove/disprove. What on earth was N'Zogbia doing 95% of the time?And d'you know what, some players don't bust a bollock in training but still do it on match day. Not everyone has Milner's ethics. Is he available by the way?P.S. i understand there is no basis that the reason he is being left out is due to a lack of effort. Pure speculation that he may not be the sort to give 110% in training.
i dont understand why sherwood persisted with the crock of shit nzogbia and gil couldnt even make the bench
