He could put players like Willian/Oscar/Pedro, Matic/Mikel, Terry, Cahill, Azpi, Ivanovic around them It would be smart move to rest some players after some busy run of fixtures and with next gameweek in 3 days I am at least expecting two of them to start (RLC, Traore, Kenedy, Baba, Bamford) otherwise I will be disappointed even though we crash them with first 11 Courtois Azpi/Ivke - Zouma - Terry/Cahill - Baba RLC - Mikel/Matic Traore - Oscar/Willian/Pedro - Kenedy Bamford I would absolutely love that first 11 He won't be loved by me if he starts those players and looses. I'd like to see youngsters of course but not at the cost of exiting the competition. First priority for me is win the game. I know many see this trophy as one which can be sacrificed but not me. For me this is a huge deal and I'm desperate to win it again. P.S. As for that particular line up. I think it'd be loved more in theory than it would be in practice if it was selected. Of course it won't be so I'll never know whether I'm right about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guus said, "There could be a surprise there", meaning in regard to a youngster being included. That's not to say that Ruben won't be involved, just that I wouldn't say he counts as a surprise. Who else might Guus be planing to include? Ola? Patrick? Bertrand? Even Charlie Colkett who posted a picture of a first team shirt on social media this week? Now that Guus has raised expectation, I hope there is something more to this comment than misdirection. If there is a surprise then Ola at RB or Bertrand up top are my guesses. Just checked and another member has pointed out that Charlie's instagram picture was a repost from the start of the season so maybe I should scratch him off the list. Shame, I'm a big Colkett fan.

It is our only realistic chance of winning a trophy. I expect to see RLC AND Kenedy and Baba and that is about it tbh. Maybe Bamford but I will not be in the campe of arguing he should start if he don't simply because his loan at Palace did not work out and we are a much bigger club.

Hopefully, it'll be Kenedy/Baba at LB with Traore filling in for Willian on the right wing. I'm not expecting RLC to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point of playing Papy? He is not good enough for us, never will be and will be leaving soon, id rather wejust played Cahill and Zouma or even shoved Ivan or Mikel at CB instead. I do hope atleast 2 of RLC, Kenedy and Traore get some game time this weekend and the other gets off the bench, but the likes of Papy and Bamford shouldn't be anywhere near the pitch on Sunday. fair enough on Papy, but have to massively disagree on your assessment of bamford.

He shouldn't play for two reasons. One being if he plays we can't loan him out again and I don't think he's anywhere near good enough, If he can't get into a side where the other strikers haven't scored from open play, that's a massive red flag.

cfcs most wanted 657 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 No reason to play Papy. Of course he deserves some minutes to play because it is too boring not to even play a single match but it has no meaning for us. Papy is not young, doesn't need experience of playing and is not in a single way coming in to our squad. Why did the board even sign him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
