Hope he gets on the bench on Sunday and not Anderson.
Seems to be in with a chance.

I was just meaning in terms of the direction of the conversation in the thread.Blackett been more surprising than Pereira will be if he does indeed break through more.
Pereira might have been behind Pearson/Rothwell but he's always been talented enough to have a great big leap in 1 year of developmental time at that age just like Januzaj did in like 6 months.

Makes me wonder what's the deal with Pearson/Rothwell? LVG has overlooked them to date yet they are rated more highly.I was just meaning in terms of the direction of the conversation in the thread.
From the little I've seen of Pereira he looks like he has that bit of extra quality in locker, like Januzaj, that would catch a managers eye as a player he wants training and playing with the seniors sooner rather than later, which is not a knock on the other 3 young CM's.

He gets to play on LW often right? Its no shame that he doesnt contribute a lot in much phases of the game, unless you're Messi/Reus/Hazard almost nobody does that.When i watch him, he is barely involved but can produce moments of class. A lot of talent but he wont get near the first team until he can contribute in more phases of the game
I understand and accept where you are coming from but I think it's probably a little more complex than that.Pereira is quite clearly a lot more talented than Rothwell or Pearson. That probably has something to do with it.
You're not looking for consistency at that age. More talent. Consistency comes later anyway as long as the player has the right attitude.
Will correct, right now.Rothwell?
Pretty much this. When he gets involved Pereira is quite clearly a level above most of our u21/youth players. Pleased to see him being used as part of the first team squad.Pereira is quite clearly a lot more talented than Rothwell or Pearson. That probably has something to do with it.

Pereira and Harrop have both started the season better than Pearson and Rothwell but given some of the performances the latter two put in last season, I think it's at best premature to label Pereira as quite clearly a lot more talented. In terms of potential he might indeed edge it, but it's not as cut and dry as you make it out to be. Rothwell, especially, put in some sensational performances for the u19s and u21s last season, performances Pereira has yet to match at that level, though he's getting there. Rothwell was roughly half a year older than Pereira is now when he really started dominating for the u21s, but then he's probably lost a lot more than 6 months to injury compared to Pereira. Early season form rather than quality saw Pereira edge ahead and given his brilliant performance at MK Dons, you'd hope the challenge for Rothwell, Pearson and Harrop is to join him - rather than replace him - as part of not-too-distant-future first team squads.Pereira is quite clearly a lot more talented than Rothwell or Pearson. That probably has something to do with it.

Rothwell is very talented tbh. But yeah, Pereira is probably a better dribbler.Pereira is quite clearly a lot more talented than Rothwell or Pearson. That probably has something to do with it.

Has he confirmed the juice will be involved?I can't wait to see how the juice plays today. It's going to be refreshing.
Pereira was seen part of the team in the hotel, so he'll be on the bench. Blackett may even start with Jones out, but Rojo takes his position so I'm not sure. Januzaj will be benched as well. So there's enough juice there.Has he confirmed the juice will be involved?
Not necessary that Pereira will be on the bench tbf. They might have taken one extra player to the hotel anyway, especially for experience and getting him integrated into the group etc..Pereira was seen part of the team in the hotel, so he'll be on the bench.

They still in the Lowry before every home game as far as I know.Not necessary that Pereira will be on the bench tbf. They might have taken one extra player to the hotel anyway, especially for experience and getting him integrated into the group etc..
It's a home game so slightly strange they are staying in the hotel for a night anyway. Guess, it's because the new guys are resident there till they find a house.
Ah ok didn't know that. I thought they did it only for some games.They still in the Lowry before every home game as far as I know.
Ya there is always a few extra players taken so no guarantee he will be on the bench but it's a good sign nonetheless.Ah ok didn't know that. I thought they did it only for some games.
Wonder if they take the exact match squad there, or couple more extra players.
