Strong line up. Surprised to see dzeko though he had a knock. Love how Pelli isn't messing around and wants every trophy

One way of looking at it, another is to say we never give young players a chance so why would any good youngsters come to us in the future. At least get them loaned out like Chelsea and the rags do.

But fair do's we all want to win the Quad...

Is it your inability to judge the context of my comments that make them so funny? Or do you just like being obtuse? If you genuinely struggle to understand why I am "dissapointed" that we aren't taking one of our 3 or 4 chances a year to blood our youngsters, then I guess life must be difficult for you.

You mean like we did at WBA in the Carling Cup last season and the previous year.No thanks,lets get them on when we`ve near completed the game and in a good winning position.
 
Strong team, and the responsibility is on the starting eleven to get the job done. There can be no looking to the bench for Nasri, Silva, or Toure to come on and open stubborn teams up.
 
Get a cushion then bring on the youngsters - not a 5-0 cushion though ffs. If we're 2-0 up bring on Lopes imo.

I still don`t believe he had a knock.IMO he was taken off to strengthen the midfield.Its just that The Beast can hold the ball up better and bring others into play when playing alone.Thats not a knock for ED as he was by far the better player on the day.However results speak for themselves and on that occasion Pelle got it correct.

Remember, we've won nothing yet, Manny has a quota to meet, and wants to make sure he gets the job done, he's still only 6 months into his tenure.
Lopes is on the bench, if we are comfortable in the 2nd half, I'm sure he'll get a run out, plus Dzeko and Negredo will want to be filling their boots if everything goes well tonight

And another is that our youngsters aren't good enough yet.

Disappointingly dull team, I guess we need to get the job done, so hopefully the subs will be more interesting

Perhaps it's in your nature to take things for granted, life must be easy for you.
 
Not expecting a 6-0l'er like everyone on Twitter seems to, I'm going for 3-0 with Negredo bossing it. Can see them having a go for half an hour but we never don't score and I just can't see them coping too well after the first goes in.

Exactly.
 
Why did Pellers have to mention that were going for four trophies, putting extra pressure on the players
 
I think it's important to keep in mind that MP is new to the club. So he's still evaluating the senior players as well as the youth players. We need to give him time to fully evaluate all the players. He's got a track record of playing young players so it's a little early to fret and Lopes is very young. No need to rush him.

Milner is captain! Yes!

I`m assuming the Boss doesn`t expect Micah to last more than a few minutes then.<br /><br />-- Wed Jan 15, 2014 7:51 pm --<br /><br />

He`s already under pressure.It takes it off him if we win only 2 or 3 !! The players can cope ... well I could on £100K a week.
