    Boateng has to be pissed. A straight up mercenary for Ghana and now he's not even playing. Has to be in his head. Looked like he was sulking in the back walking into the locker room while the others were beating drums and singing.

    would it be his lack of speed, physical ability, at times questionable clearances and passes that has you nervous?

    I would have preferred Edu, but JK wants quick passes out of that position not defensive athleticism.
