Barker and Roberts on the wings with Ambrose up front could be an interesting watch in this years UEFA Youth League campaign.

Sterling, Barker, and Roberts as our English wingers of the future. They'll be rivaling for places in both club and national sides!

It would be great to see that.

Both Barker and Roberts played with each other last season for the England U19's so some sort of chemistry should be there for the UEFA Youth League this season.

5 weeks......and that's your best...oh dear.

Ya, because I don't spend half my life on a forum all day. Just got around to it.

Could Barker be on the bench tomorrow with no Roberts/Iheanacho/Garcia though?

We'll find out at 4pm

Should be in the team instead of Navas, I'm hoping one of these days he will carry on his sideways run all the way into the sea and eventually find his way back to Spain.

The lad tries his best and had a good start to his City career, but I'm afraid the team has outgrown him. If we don't get rid soon he is really gonna cost us, that miss v Palace sums the guy up - does the hard bit then the final product is abysmal.

Lol, an unproven 18 year old over a World Cup winner.

Have a look at yourself mate.

I will await my apology from you when the lad gets a chance and proves you wrong - unless we try the youth when senior pros aren't performing then we'll never know.

Some people on here must watch a completely different game. I see where you are coming from on paper, but no man is good enough not to be dropped just cos they've won medals. As much as I like his work rate, Navas is the weak link of our team - it is so painstakingly obvious. As was Kolarov for the past 3 seasons - he turned it round, so let's hope Navas can. Patrick Roberts, even at 18 is too big a talent to just sit on the bench for 38 games especially after we paid £12m for him.

Is this the same Patrick Roberts who couldn't make an impact in the Fulham first team last year when given multiple chances, who got relegated to the bench and reserves in favour of Seko Fofana and various others? The lad is incredibly talented and will become a good player, but to suggest he's better than Navas at this point in time is utterly ridiculous. If you sent a lad on loan to Fulham and he had the season Roberts had then you certainly wouldn't be calling for him to be starting games yet (just ask Fofana).

I'm not even sure why people have him as ahead of Barker in the pecking order? I don't see anything that he's done to deserve to be ahead of him.
