Why I say lucky is because if he was injured he couldn't pick him or was he saving him for Newcastle because he thought we had no chance against Chelski. Or has he suddenly grown some balls and made the decision that has been obvious for ages now.

Lanzini not for me, I’d defo give jack a go in place of noble and get yarmo on again when Bowen has run himself into the ground. Souckec is a beast.
I think Lanzini, particularly after the first water-break, worked his arse off. His first touch wasn't to his usual high standard and he definitely looked less than sharp. That said, he came into a midfield to replace Noble against Chelsea and I thought was worth his place in the team. I wouldn't change the team for Newcastle, Lanzini building strength and understanding with Fornals and Bowen will lead to good things imho. Look at it this way, unlike Anderson, Lanzini's footballing brain will work on some level with the players now around him and if Antonio can keep the ball alive in the opponent's half, then i want players like him creating.
Lets keep him in and see how he does. If he doesn't work then Jack is the ideal sub after 55-60 mins, after all it's suicide to play him longer than that!
