And I would also agree that Aquilani probably doesn't merit a place in our current best eleven. I'd like to think, though, that if given a chance to settle in the team, it would become our strongest eleven. Of course, I realise there was some artistic license involved there, but I think it's worth persevering with. Yossi and Kuyt could be largely rotated according to opposition and form anyway. The important thing is that we never see Yossi on the left.

This was my logic as well. Aquilani certainly isn't in there yet on merit but are we going to let a 20 M player rot on the bench waiting for chances? Our current manager thinks so but most everyone wants him out.
I'd give Aquilani the chance to play himself into form.
