Bridcutt is the midfield meistro, Barnes scores almost every other game and makes goals and stops attacks. Right there is enough to warrant inclusion.
I can't see your point at all.

slight correction.....Bridcutt WAS the midfield maestro, until Navarro started playing regularly in the side. Not sure why......but Bridcutt has been far less impressive of late.

Agreed, he seems a bit off the pace, though Navarro has been in the side on merit, keeping out Razak, Sparrow, Harley, JFC and others.

Seems that although both Navarro and Bridcutt are defensive midfielders, Navarro definitely lays deeper than Bridcutt and more often than not is the outlet for Greer/Dunk/El Abd, when playing out of defence. I honestly believe Bridcutt was far better at this and he moved the ball on much quicker and inventively than Navarro. Add to this, Bridcutts more tenacious tackling .......I think Navarro is the wrong man for the job. Having said that.......he has done as well as he is capable.
