I heard from someone who was at the BSC match last night that Poco and Gamboa were awful.  You could question whether the chicken or the egg came first there (are they being left out because they're shite, or are they shite because they're being left out?) but if they aren't inclined to play their way into the first team, you have to ask why we should expect them to put any more effort into a Premier League game than our current starting XI.

Because they're professionals.
But I think they've been left out because they've been found wanting in training. I can't think of any other logical explanation.
