Maybe we should sort out the first team before we start bringing in more youth?

Did you see the Ajax game at the weekend? De Boer pretty much dropped the entire 1st team and played all the kids as he was unhappy with their recent performances lol

I think it will be closer than that. Probably a 1-1 draw and extra time but we need a confidence boosting win before saturday game against Villa or we will be the first side they have scored against in 6 games and then the slippery slope begins.
These games are always potential "banana skins" even Chelsea struggleed last night but with their reserves out they still managed a win. We will probably put out a near first eleven....who ever that is so we should put Brighton away comfortably but I don't think so the way we are playing. Extra time is my guess.
OK Bud...Let's see. If its a 3-1 win, the drinks on you and if its 1-1 FT then the drinks is on... er...you!
Deal?

No I didn't see that but that will only work if they give a shit that they play. Some of our lot would probably be glad for the night off.

Thank god Naughton is back. 45 then dier or vlad to save Naughton for villa or is that just too sensible for Poch?

Hope this doesnt mean Capoue, Kaboul and Ade are being rested for villa. I'd be happy if all 3 dont start and Ade doesnt make the bench again. He, in no way, shape or form, deserves a place in the 18 for the time being. I know I'll probably be wrong though and we'll play with the same lineup again or with Naughton being the only change.

They still won too. The Eredivisie is so weak you can get away with that kind of thing. We'd get slaughtered if we tried it.

I really, really hope this does not mean Kaboul and Adebayor are being saved for the league - suspect I'm setting myself up for disappointment though. Also, Mopo really does make me wonder with his choice of captains. I know he's hardly spoilt for choice but Lennon, seriously?
I would have tried Dembele or even Verts to see how they react but as said by @thinktank, he has gone with seniority

I find most things a bit 'meh' at the moment - lets see how it goes

Hopefully Kane scores more goals, gets put in the first team and sets us our way to the Champs League

Is that so much to ask?

The worry on the Brighton site is that their fullbacks can not cope with anyone with a little bit of pace, if Townsend and Lennon want to show they have any use then tonight will be their best chance,

In 7 minutes time I will be mainly drinking Tyskie. Found a Polish offie-£1 a can.

You had better charge up that iPad or smartphone and ensure that you have a 'new' roll of toilet paper handy - going to be spending a looooong time on the toilet. Gratz. (y) ;)

Ceballos, Onomah and Winks should be given an opportunity though. Disappointed Poch hasnt brought at least Ceballos through yet. He adds alot more than the 2 one trick wingers we have blocking him, IMO.

We could sort out the first team by bringing in youth!

Maybe but I think that we have too many players as it is. We need a cull in January/July and after that there will be more space to bring the youth through properly, not just giving them the odd game and then sending them back to the U21's.
