Because the dynamic duo who presumably pick the team think thac Gardner, Holla and JFC are better players than ince. I'm not sure anyone else does but then we're not dragging the team down!
Because he's a lunatic with a poor first touch and is dreadful at headers for his height, nor does he use his strength well enough at all. Positionally too indisciplined for DM as well.
Need any more reasons?
Ince should play the deep lying midfielder role as Holla is awful at doing the defensive duties of the role. Holla should be played alongside JFC with Ince as the holding midfielder and Gardner should be nowhere near the team IMO.
But no more ineffective than those who played, and arguably more physical and a better athlete.
I've heard Sami doesn't think he passes well enough.
He probably gives the ball away more than any of our other midfielders. I do think he has positive attributes but I don't think he's learnt how to harness them fully yet. One for the future.
Plays a different role to JFC and Gardner and appears to be behind Holla in Sami's view for that role so really its between him and Holla for the DM.

Isnt SH on record as saying he will play Holla away and Ince at home when teams play 2 up front.
