Speaking ahead of today's match against Sunderland, Juande Ramos commented on his reasons for omitting Dimitar Berbatov from today's squad:
"As I said on Thursday, I needed to wait and speak to the player when he returned from international duty and then make a decision about whether or not he was right to play in this game. I have not selected him as I do not think that he is focused enough and I do not feel that he will be good for the dressing room and the team effort.
"It doesn't matter how good a player is, if he is not in the right frame of mind, then he will not perform well. The only thing I concern myself with is picking the best team to try and win the game.
"I shall talk to the player tomorrow, he is our player and we shall work with him at training."
King is starting though!
Bollocks. Would suggest that Ben's ITK a couple of days ago was spot on.
Team: Gomes, Zokora, Assou-Ekotto, King, Woodgate, Lennon, Bentley, Jenas, Modric, Bale, Bent.
Subs: Cesar, Huddlestone, Gilberto, Gunter, Giovani, Dawson, O'Hara.

I would imagine that this will be how we line up, Bentley down the middle could work really well, and he could easily swap with Lennon :up: I like the left side as well
