MefiX19 1,092 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hope RLC, Baba, Bamford and maybe Musonda starts, and crush them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Although I don't think Bamfords good enough I would actually be tempted to start him and bring Diego on at half time if were not winning, we got two PL games coming up this week and we need Diego at full sharpness especially as Remy is not fit. Only issue is, due to the rules that you can't play for three clubs in one season, playing him today means he can't find another club until the summer, unless he goes grovelling back to Pardrew.

didierforever 7,349 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 6 hours ago, Tomo said: Sturridge broke in at Bolton, Ake broke in at Watford, Christensen broke in at Gladbach, if Bamford was good enough he would have got in at Palace if the other forward a were on form, let alone never scoring. I've never been a fan of going complete b teams in the FA, like I said a bitof rotation and a bit I youngster, but we saw with United and Sheffield earlier, Scunny aren't going to come here and get their bellies tickled, we will need a strong performance to nullify them, only need to look ten years ago against Huddersfield, our strongest ever squad, rotated heavily against a league one side, narrowly avoided a replay. how many failed loans did affelay and krkic have? they were considered to be the best young talents in their times. this loan system is a very tricky thing and there can be a number of reasons of why a loan can fail. a B team will always face some problems. never getting many oppurtunities to play together, lack of as much quality. but these are perfect matches for them to show if they belong with us. again, my question remains the same, what is the point of the squad and youth system if we cant trust the best youth system in the world in the past 5 years to get any chance against a league one side.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We need a good mix of experience and of youth. Bego - Azpi, Zouma, Cahill, Baba - Mikel, Ramires, RLC, Kenedy, Pedro - Bamford All the usual culprits on the bench, including Traore, who deserves minutes.

Azul 1,615 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm expecting Bamford to not even be on the bench let alone in today's starting line-up. I do hope to see him play though don't get me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,145 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Traore has more chance of starting than Bamford imo. Traore played CF for Vitesse majority of last season and has been around the first team this season. I doubt Bamford who has struggled to get into the Palace team whose strikers can't score for their life will suddenly walk into our 11, regardless of it being a cup game.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Absolute joke. Hiddink is as bad as José with team selection. Don't get me wrong - I understand we want to win this cup. But we can't even play ONE youth player at home against Scunthorpe? We may as well close our academy down. No point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tautvix 1,321 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Well even Mourinho would have used RLC or Kenedy in game like this.. But yet people still attack him for not paying youths while this line up is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
