On current form, him and Sandro would be selected for those two spots IMO.
At least you know what you get from him...
Dembele, you never know when his going to turn up (excellent when he does).
Paulinho, does a lot of work but unconvincing at times.
Capoue, would only play him instead of Sandro.
I think his criticism is unjust, as he has been a consistent performer for us since Sherwood and shows passion and desire, something I only see from Sandro out of the names above.
He was terrible against Cardiff when he came on from what I remember, some odd misplaced passes, but overall he's been more consistent that most others. Like I've said before, with some development on his positional play he'd be a decent player, that's what I feel has made him stick out a little. Overall, he's earnt it though and not many manage that kind of impact so quickly without 10 loans first!
