might have heard a rumour jack doesnt like him or something... At the end of the day, though, if he's fit and playing well the press will be all over it, making it very difficult for jack to be ignored. Has Southgate got the balls to make such a dumb decision based on something unrelated to football? Probably, yes
Was just thinking the same thing, because the medya were questioning his lack of inclusion and just about going with Southgate's reasons, not playing for Arsenal, but the will wear thin if he keeps fit and plays.might have heard a rumour jack doesnt like him or something...

I dont think he was starting for us, was he? at least that would be the excuse. Jacks one of those players that you dont need to have a look at. If he's fit and playing, you know what he can offer so you take him . It's not even so much about form when you have his class. You just take him.
He wasn't starting regularly, but Southgate said he wasn't playing enough even though he'd only logged something like 45 minutes fewer than Loftus-Cheek. Even more annoying because the latter played most of his minutes on the wing, not CM like Jack.
I can understand him leaving Jack out over RLC for now. We all know Jack needs more under his belt than most--I've not got a problem with that tbh. Wenger's always talking about taking things slow with Jack so if Southgate ever needed an excuse to leave him out so he can have a look at someone else, it's been made by Wenger! I do believe when it comes down to it, if Jack is playing he 100% goes regardless of the competition for places.
... Time to act and hit then where it hurts.
