Redplane
( . Y . ) planned for Christmas
Guess Ole is trying a Mou of yesterday with that lineup.
We have. Mengi and Laird in defense. Maybe Galbraith in midfield and then Elanga as a winger. Ole doesn't play youth very often in these games, although people seem to think he does.Are there any younger players that look a bit like Greenwood as in potentially ready to step up and help out in some games for the first team?
If so I'd want to test them out in games like this especially as Ole is supposedly keen to play youth.
Is it that we just don't have any ready?
Given it doesn't look like we are signing anyone else is it not worth seeing if some younger players are ready to step up and help out?
Pretty much what i was thinking.What chance does VDB have playing with that rubbish around him.
ThanksSky.
I reckon he'll do well actually. That midfield should have some decent shape for once and Mata is decent to work off.What chance does VDB have playing with that rubbish around him.
Yes.Who's the captain tonight? Mata?
Erm, did you not see Igalho?!What happened to Ole saying he was going to play some youngsters in this competition??
We will go out tonight.The starting lineup is a joke
Thanks.Yes.
My post didn't need an explanation. Your posts in general are just pure shit.Nope. Your comment was simply an observation and without meaning
It’s particularly low priority this season due to the congested schedule.I do not understand why so many teams do not care about winning the cups. Lots of teams also fighting in midtable and not playing in europe.
It feels like City win the cups easily since few other cares much apart from maybe Mourinho and possibly Lampard.
Yeah, teams like Brighton should try to win the cups. What is the point of those teams if they don't try to win`? Trying to reach top 10 every season?I do not understand why so many teams do not care about winning the cups. Lots of teams also fighting in midtable and not playing in europe.

How do you propose OGS manages squad fitness and stamina and motivation over the season?I do not understand why so many teams do not care about winning the cups. Lots of teams also fighting in midtable and not playing in europe.

I think Ole has tried in the cups though since he joined us, but maybe not been enough in the final games.
This year it feels like he cares less about them maybe since he fear for his job if the league performance is poor.
I get you but personally I'd rather let these players get a run out while getting a full rest for the first team with maybe a few off-the-bench appearances like last week's game.Yes, but we have enough rest for sunday I think. Spurs got much less rest anyway so we should be in advantage.
I am not saying playing all your first 11, but rest only a few like the midfield and 1-2 defenders.
Hopefully this team is enough to win. Just not seeing us being strong on the counter with James, Ighalo and Mata.
Look at City though. Playing Sterling and De Bruyne in the cup. They have as many games as us though.It’s particularly low priority this season due to the congested schedule.
I prefer to try and win everything but this is the one I care least about.
I would say by rotating in all competitions in the easier games. Give squad players a game here and there and use the bench effectivly to rest key players like Bruno.How do you propose OGS manages squad fitness and stamina and motivation over the season?
When we have a squad as big as ours. You need to play your squad players. You want to blood youngsters in a stronger team.We have. Mengi and Laird in defense. Maybe Galbraith in midfield and then Elanga as a winger. Ole doesn't play youth very often in these games, although people seem to think he does.
Greenwood over Mata would make me feel better about it. Maybe Martial over Ighalo too.Lack of goal threat in that starting lineup. Not that we have much option mind.
To be fair, Pep always seems to take it seriously.Look at City though. Playing Sterling and De Bruyne in the cup. They have as many games as us though.
Maybe it will hurt or gain them. I think they needed a boost after 2-5 vs Leicester too.
Respiratory infectionWhere the feck is Maguire?!
That’s also the plan I’d love to see too.I would say by rotating in all competitions in the easier games. Give squad players a game here and there and use the bench effectivly to rest key players like Bruno.
I agree we do lack 1-2 attackers to fully do this well though. If only we could get Sancho.
I still hope we will get one winger that would allow us to rest Greenwood, Martial and Rashford more.
He's on the bench.Would have thought Mengi would make the bench :/
He has?Would have thought Mengi would make the bench :/
Cmon, we can't start Martial when the schedule is this crazy. Think thats a good decision, this is why we retained Ighalo. Swapping Greenwood in for James might be better though.Greenwood over Mata would make me feel better about it. Maybe Martial over Ighalo too.
City also has an entire second unit worth well into the 9 figures on the market. They can rest their "starters" and still sweep away most teams, especially weakened cup sides.I do not understand why so many teams do not care about winning the cups.

Yet they play strong sides this time though. Although I know they have many injuries and have a hard draw for once. The luck they have had with draws is insane!City also has an entire second unit worth well into the 9 figures on the market.
