Esk is right, they will get their chances. Young players should be giving chances, Manicenne showed everyone last season what kind of talent he had and surprised everyone that he came in and just help defend. I thinik that we should try some of our youngsters in cup matches, either for half a match or a full game, wither way they are getting the oppertunity to play for the first 11 and it would rest some of our players who are working hard in the EPL and CL for Chelsea and either the World Cup Qaulifers or Euro or like most ACON for their contury. If we gave Hutchinson and Di Santo and co some game in the FA or League cup then it would help them gain confidence that they could become first eleven players. I want players like Borini, who came from the youth, to replace Drogba when he retires. But without a long term manager then we can't really give the youngsters that chance. Like i said in another thread on here, if Hiddink been in charge of Chelsea before February, i think he would have given more youngsters an oppertunity like he did with Mancienne. Let's just hope we have found a manager who is tactically and emotionally ready for the pressure he faces later in the season, someone who can stay at this club for a long term.
