It looks like Rossi is going to start tonight! Can't wait to see him in action.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

hope so from talking to people who've seen him play he is meant to be fantastic..

think he deserves a game and would be nice to show the arse our youngsters are just as good as theirs..

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I reckon this will be the team tonight..

Howard

Brown O'Shea Spector Fortune

Eagles Kleberson P.Neville Richardson

Rossi

Smith

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

It should be a good game tonight whatever the result, I just hope for SAF sake pizza is not on the menu ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

67,000 to watch a reserve team game, :cool:

Van Persie definitely looks as though he will fit in perfectly at Arsenal:rolleyes:
He has already got the "elbow in the face" of to a tee. :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well!! He's learned from the best hasn't he :p:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

chelsea in the semi's and Fergie's never lost a domestic semi-final before.. Just hope we maintain that record..

Was quite a good game last night but we had more a team of reservers and they had a team of younysters..

after a goal after 20 seconds expected a few more though.. would have liked to have see Rossi for longer as well..

Miller was outstanding.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

We're not going to beat Chelsea in the semi, no way, unless Fergie changes his policy of fielding reserves. Chelsea may not use their full strength team but they're still on an upward curve and even though the League Cup is still seen as a mickey mouse trophy, it'll give them a huge confidence boost by beating United and going on to win it.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

i think you are right there Russ. Chelsea have a squad of 22 first team players so even though they fielded their second string team the other night it was way stronger than ours. We had our reservers out rather than the youngsters last night but Richardson and Eagles, etc at the moment just aren't in the same league.


Maybe Fergie will think of his record and field a strong side so he doesn't loose that.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I'd like to see this team play in the semi-final..

Howard
P. Neville O'Shea Brown Fortune
Eagles Djembax2 Miller Bellion
Saha
Smith

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I cannot see anything in Richardson that convinces me that he is first team material, Eagles does show promise though.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

i wouldn't want Fortune or P. Neville in there.. Both are rubbish and are bound to give away a free kick or pen in the last 5 mins..

Could play Spector at LB and use G. Neville at RB

eagles shows some promise but needs more games.. Miller was superb last night and ran the show.. Would like to see Rossi start but as a semi final maybe best to leave him on bench..

better have Ruud and Ronaldo on the bench just in case...
