Bar please explain to me (I know I can be biased toward kenny sometimes)why carra is in the team and coates is not.
there is no raheem or any of the youngsters on the bench these are nothing games now.
I can't tell you why Carra is in the team ahead of Coates, aside from experience in his favour, but one thing it does say to me is that maybe Carra won't start in the final..
He played Carra, Skrtel AND Agger in the semi at Wembley. I get the feeling now that he's gonna pick Agger & Skrtel at CB and Enrique at LB for the final, and that putting Carra in today is a way of softening the blow. Just a theory.
As for Sterling, I'd have him in the squad. Okay, you can say that someone would have to be left out, so who? If Skrtel is gonna be rested, then why not left out of the squad altogether - as Carroll has been? (Assuming that's why Carroll's out, and that he's not actually injured). It's frustrating to see Sterling overlooked yet again after his impressive debut.
