dave30 728 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 You think otherwise? I trust AVB's judgement on those matters a bit more.i do , i believe if your good enough you should play simple as whatever your age could be . and i don't believe he is particularly week as a player far from it in my opinion . i trust in avb to im just expressing my opinion as a fan on a certain minor point in a previous game surely that's sort of the point of a forum .

manpe 10,861 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Ok, fair enough... I was more generally responding to people who attack AVB's decisions aggressively, almost with a "sack that shit" type of feeling and who are having preconceptions based on one game. Everybody calls for club's patience in its manager, but the fans never seem to have patience of their own. If it was up to the fans, he'd probably be already sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Abramovich 175 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Anyone think Benayoun will start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Anyone think Benayoun will start?I would like Benayoun to start. Hodgson will order all his players to stay in their own for most of the game and I think a #10 like Yossi will help spot some passes for Torres. But it looks like he's off to Spurs and as a precaution, he probably won't be played. Imagine if he got injured and it scuppers the Modric deal?

Tortilla9 390 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If Kalouda play maybe they'll have a game of a lifetime (in a good way) knowing that Mata is on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the match is on ESPN I think, hence the late kick off.It makes me sick to think I've to watch it on tv when there is a seat in the shed end with my name on it. If I'm feeling better in the next hour my mam said she would pay for me to get the 2 o'clock flight over. I'll be kinda pushed for time though.

I remember Bolton away last season and I wasn't very well the day before and my family were saying to me that I shouldn't go, I did go in the end, didn't want to waste my ticket, it was more a case of seeing how I was on the day. I didn't enjoy the match as much as I would like'd to have, but I'm still gald I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regaular starters at 18 is rare, infact since Cesc and Rooney have their been many if any Wilshere aside?We don't want to rush Josh in, look at Owen played regually as a teen as in now burntout, Rooney is showing signs that he might suffer from the same in a few years and even Wilshere is starting to show signs already:0. Cesc has been made of glass these last couple of years aswell. Iniesta was not a regualar at Barca till he was 21/22 and now they are reaping the rewards of slowly blooding him.It may be frustrating now but when Josh is in his mid 20's and dominating midfield's and Wilshere is getting silly injuries twice or maybe even three times a season we will look back and realise we developed him the right way.
