Re Mouts, could it be that as he's clearly tailed off in the pecking order in recent months then he declined the offer of an outing that would have been based largely on sentimentality rather than merit?
If he' have been required to play in "real" terms then I'd be very surprised him refusing to do so.
Although his powers as a player may have declined over the last 12 months (although for me still a very intelligent player, especially off the ball) I'm not aware of any instances where his professionalism has been brought into question.
