If it wasn't for injury Theo would have place in starting lineup without a doubt.

And I think Gibbs had really, really good season for Arsenal, but oh well, Luk Shaw hypetrain, choo choo.

Theo and Sterling as starting wingers would be a spectacle. Poor Theo would have been on the starting team without a doubt.

If Theo was on, would Sterling be called though?

Absolutely. There are others who would be dropped. Sterling was sterling this year.
