Pre match thread: City v Southampton

[southamptonblue]

After watching the EDS derby......i pray that none of them do play.....especially Barker after that game (TBF he is in u18s?).

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

I take it you've only watched them the 1 time

 

[SuperBlu]

I want to see these boys:

1- Kelechi
2- Seko Fofana
3- Maffeo
4- Angelino

Seriuosly, youth will only play if they are good enough and as we haven't seen much this season, suggests they are not. I want to finish the season on a continued winning run and not jeopardise that by giving youth a chance to prove themselves (they should be doing that week in week out with the EDS).

Arsene Wenger regularly gives the young players a big chance to play in the Capital One Cup, while we only keep 1 or 2 young on the bench and then give them only few minutes to play.


We should throw these young players and let them test themselves and see how can they cope with it, so why don't we give them this chance ?


If we win or lose we will finish second, so why don't we give our best academy players a chance ?

I agree with this, its not often an opportunity arises in the PL season where the result is not important (unless your the rags) and you can let the youngsters have a pop at quality opposition. It wont happen but its a shame..!

It will happen if they are ready

HART - MATTEO , BOYATA , MANGALA , ANGELINO - NEMANE , BYRNE , GLENDON , BARKER - AMBROSE , IHEANACHO field the youngest side in the premiership ever , should shut the moaning media f*ckers up , we can ask the club for a 40 quid refund on our tickets , it should be free entry for youth matches (only leaving Joe in to get his golden glove)

Haha with that team doubt very much joe will keep a clean sheet.

They have to be brought into the first team in circumstances when they can do themselves justice. They have to be ready to make the step up, at peak fitness and in top form.

They also need to be brought into an eleven that is otherwise something like a normal City starting eleven. In a game that isnt too pressurised but is being taken seriously. If you throw three or four of them into a game like this its effectively being dowgraded into similar status as a pre season friendly. A game in which there will be very little structure or intensity.

Chelsea's approach this week is the sensible approach. Include one youg player in the starting line up, if there is a player that is ready. Possibly one or two on the bench. But no more than that.

 

[Bluemooner 1]

Sick of all this b*****ks can't play this, can't do that.

Play 3 youth teamers in this match with a few on the bench.

They need playing at some point and no better opportunity.

 

[aguero93:20]

At the very least Ambrose or Angelino should feature, they've been around the squad already this season.
