Re: Newcastle League Cup Wednesday
I think this is a good game to try out Kolarov on the left wing with Clichy at left back. Clichy needs all the help he can get on the left side and Silva out there just doesnt work.
Kolarov left wing puts Silva back in the middle and all is well in the world.
this should be tried with a view to using it away at games such as sunderland etc

Re: Newcastle League Cup Wednesday
While i agree you got a point there why not just play Barker? he's moved up this season and is ripping up trees at that level and for England u19s. Its the perfect time to see if he can do it in the lc and if he can in the occaisional league appearence. Its what academies are for and if we are ever going to give youngster the chance this is it. Whats the worse that can happen? we find out its a bit early in a lc match.shemnel said:I think this is a good game to try out Kolarov on the left wing with Clichy at left back.

Re: Newcastle League Cup Wednesday
We won the FL Cup last season and it wasn't on Soriano's list as part of the "five trophies in five years" so I don't see why we can't give some younger lads a go in this competition. They aren't going to get any better opportunities to gain experience at first team level than this.

Probably end up playing the strongest team available, then will tear his hair out when two or three pick up injuries ahead of next weeks visit of the rags...

Yes indeed. A decent player, exciting player.everythingchangesbutblue said:Brandon Barker on the bench hopefully.
Re: Newcastle League Cup Wednesday
All very well to declare quotas of EDS players who should be playing, but who are these players who are ready to play a premier league side? Pozo might just be able to, then who? Lopes, Denayer, Rekik and maybe even Cole would be able to do a job, but they're all out on loan, the rest of our EDS are very young and not particularly close to first team level yet. Most of the more promising EDS players are 17/18 and only in their first or second year even at that level. Barker possibly has enough pace to come off the bench and cause problems, maybe Fofana could play at a push, but you can't just play young players for the sake of it, they need to be ready. Not sure how wise it is to be throwing young players into a side that isn't playing well either.WNRH said:Wouldn't surprise me if Yaya, Aguero and Silva all played the way Pelegrini thinks.
Said it v Sheff Wed, there should be 3 EDS players STARTING and another 3 on the bench.
Re: Newcastle League Cup Wednesday
I understand where you are coming from but I am not talking about putting them in a premier league side and expecting them to produce.
We have an EDS who over the last two seasons have been very successful at their level. Lopes and Pozo, two slight foreign lads have both come on and done ok. When Suarez was here, he looked ok in the bits and bobs he played in.
We have two very important games coming up in the next week that could define Pelegrini's time here at the club as we could be way off the title and out of Europe on Bonfire Night.
He replaced Mancini with the word holistic being used but I have yet to see that come to fruition, I can understand him not doing it in the first year as he has to prove himself but there is no excuse why 3 EDS players can't start with another 3 on the bench in a Capital One Cup game against Newcastle, are we going to be that gutted if we go out of this competition? This competition should be used solely to blood young players in the future and it should have started against Sheffield Wednesday.
As for the ones who could start or come off the bench, Pozo is an obvious one, Fofana has the physical attributes, Glendon is the EDS captain, Barker is looking lively at the moment, Facey is nearly 20, played for England at every level, Angelino could get 20 mins on the left, we will never know how they will do unless they are given a chance.
Mourinho has put Lewis Baker on the bench today, he gave a debut to Dom Solanke in the Champions League on Tuesday. Wilson, Blackett and Perreria on the bench for United with Januzaj starting. Why can't we do the same?
