Might as well just get rid of the entire academy. If we're never going to give the better lads of the academy a go in our first team to find out if they are good enough to cut it at the top level and to give them valuable experience then what's the entire point? Away to a poor Sunderland side in the early rounds of the carling cup is the ideal situation for a couple of them to get involved.

After 2 defeats on the trot it also allows some of the players to recover and get their thoughts together before a much much bigger game on Saturday at Spurs.

Maffeo, Roberts and Kelechi to be involved from the start would be ideal, and if we're doing well then we could bring on Garcia from the bench.

What are you talking about 'we might as well get rid of the academy'? Why talk silly like that, when Our academy lads are integrating well into the first team with the club's existing methodology. One won us three points last week in case you've gorgotten.

But the priority is winning this game so we have to put out a team that will win. Whether that includes an academy start or two, we will see, but I won't be kicking and screaming if most are on the bench. I'm sure a couple will play some part. Even if you don't care about the trophy, going through gives us the likelihood of easier home ties where we can play more kids.

The funny thing is, the club will get battered with criticism from the whingers if we play a young side and go out. It will get battered with criticism from the same whingers if we play a strong team and a big name gets injured.

Unfortunately this is very true
 
Anybody with Kodi or tvaddons.

Go to Pheonix -- Crusader88 -- Arabic Channels --Sport -- then scroll down to BEin Sports USA SD.

The Beinsports HD at the top of the page hasn't worked for me but the SD further down is fine and with English commentary.
 
I use kodi - sports live tv and there is also the channel BEin Sports USA. It's also in SD. Damn i'm used to nbc sports for premier league with 1080 full HD stream :-).
