Even though we may have nothing to play for in the last 2 games (if we beat Utd or City don't win), we won't be seeing CCV, Onomah or KWP play as all 3 have joined their U20 World Cup national teams. Given that Edwards is Injured, I don't think there are any other youngsters ready to be given PL time, which is a shame.

Wouldn't mind seeing Harrison, Amos or even will miller get a cameo

Definitely a shame that Marcus is injured for the last 3 games. I'd settle on seeing GKN getting some minutes, i think he can save us 30-40 mill that is being touted for Zaha.

I rate Amos, would definitely like to see how he would do in our current team.

It means he can try Sissoko out a couple of more times at least...As beats1 says Amos or Harrison could but I don't expect them to be playing for us next year so its kind of pointless other than giving experience.

Only academy one who could is maybe Shashoua to come on for minutes, as he's an attacker and good it might give him a sense of what ;level he needs to be at. The saddest thing is that if any of the players get mentioned get more of a chance in the PL this season (in their best position), it would be so ridiculous.

You know I am not a fan of Sterling but he has done well of late maybe he could be given a go,Shashoua would be a good choice he has played well this year.

Ye Sterling is someone who could come on as well and use his physique to do a job up top, but then a part of me would just still try and give Harrison that chance. Either would be fine though

I'd like to see Lesniak given some time. Back end of last year I noticed him doing the "drop back between the cb's" thing for the u23's. So he's tactically got the gist, is energetic, tenacious, technically competent and we don't really have a back up for Wanyama. He must be the senior player in that u23 team now (and regular captain).

Have always liked Harrison but has he and Amos pushed on since the u18s I would say no.

I'd argue Harrison showed ability at u18s there were question over whether he could play with at u23s and he showed he could. I think his ability is very much there and he scored regularly for u23s. He has now been loaned to Yeovil, where they're going to be a lot bigger and not play a style of football he has played. He is also wiry so needs to adapt. The loan is strange but and if we didn't know that, if you get loaned out you're not rated, then I would still consider him as a potential player for the first team. Think he's a year or two away but he has ability, just whether he physically develops and how he adapts either way.

You look at Abrahama and Sonlanke who are a year group below him and he is nowhere near their size, developmentally he is far away so can't be judged on same levels

Jack Roles scores again!

Sometimes things hinge on moments. If Harrison takes that ball in his stride at Anfield and tucks it away then it isn't hard to imagine that, even if Poch isn't that keen on him, a debut goal leads to him being closer to the first team squad and other opportunities. Who knows what happens after that. Now it might be chance missed, all on one moment.

He couldn't get minutes for Yeovil in league 1, I understand its good to promote youngster but you can't just do it for the sake of it. You have to believe they're good enough or convinced they have a potential

He's definitely got potential. Struggling in a loan is rarely a barometer of that.

Noone has put him in the category of World Class just a good player with potential who could make it. Surely you're aware that an unsuccessful loan doesn't mean a great deal especially if you haven't watched or know the circumstances around it. Yeovil have loaned something like 3/4 other strikers its a poor loan based off that alone.

Anyway its only being considered if we secure 2nd and have a game left, as our 4 other players who are ready for the first team aren't available,. So we're thinking of you else might get that chance and Harrison has ability and potential. Not like we're suggesting Tracey.

Eng u17s beat Ireland 1 - 0. Sancho scored. They had 30 shots 14 on target to Ireland's 4(1). They've qualified for the World Cup but hopefully they're not that wasteful in the semis against Turkey

Blake Griffin · May 13, 2017

of all those mentioned i think amos is probably the most likely, though that's still only a very small chance.

ardiles · May 13, 2017

Would like to see Pau Lopez get some minutes if we have already secured 2nd place after tomorrow.

Lloris is after the golden glove so will play

Alex Neill was on talksport today, I never heard it all but sounded like he said Pritchard was disappointed with the game time he got under him, but Neill thought he couldn't fit both him and hoolahan in the same team

Bit pointless signing and wasting him really then.

Should have let him go to Brighton.

Although looking at their 4-0 thrashing of QPR both of them played lol...

I can understand d Hoolahan playing as he's good for them.

IGSpur · May 13, 2017

See our u18s came from behind 3 times to draw 3-3 with Derby. Maghoma scored a free kick. Has scored a few this season.

Clarke got an assist on his debut I think
