[quote=Top4]FFS no youngsters on the bench at all. Good grief who are we?
The champions for the last decade bedding in a few youngsters? The reality please. We are very much a work in progress, the strongest team possible is what we need on the field week in week out. The team desperately need to gel as fast as possible and develop a lot more understanding. The last two weekends have laid bare any points to the contrary!
Kenny has put a huge punt in Carroll and I have huge doubts bit he needs 90 minutes every opportunity he can get where we won't be totally punished in an EPL game if we are banking on him to be top drawer. We've no European football, resting anyone shouldn't even be mentioned the entire season accept maybe Suarez.
I think we'll be lucky to see 5th this season with much of it going the same as last now. Strong finish as the unit develops, but in the mean time there are going to be some shockers.

You completely miss the point. You can't replicate competitive games on the training pitch and our first team desperately need time together on the field. The cup name is irrelevant. This is an end game play not a one off game that a bunch of mates decide to do down the local park once a year.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
the arguements about league cup is it worth it are irrelevant - KD still hasn't got a starting 11 that works so he needs to take this game seriously from that point of view - in my view that means not fielding a reserve 11 or something of that nature - maybe give one like sterliing a game and then give one like suso 30 minutes if we are winning
Right just wanted to put my 2p in. For those of you whining about the cup. We should play our first team with a few kids on the bench. This will get them playing together so they have a better understanding and with it their confidence will rise. We should then have a better chance through the later stages and on into the FA cup. With this the team should then be able to apply it to performances in the league and we will rise up to the top 4 without to much problems. Spurs was just a bump in the road. It is in the past. Lets focus on whats coming up. Good cup run with good team management by KK to ensure no fatigue sets in will lead to good league run and Champions League next season. Lets try the glass is half full approach and be more positive than reaching for the bottle of pills or razor blades. C'mon you reds. Looking forward to the game tonight with my four kids in their kit sat cheering round the tv.
