I have been watching the reserves and youth teams a bit more lately and something that I have noticed is that Flanagan and Robinson rarely play at either level, that would be alright but they hardly get a look in for the first team too, so does anyone know whats going on with them? Are they injured? If they are just not being used wouldn't it be better to loan them out?
Also on the point of reserves, Suso really does look like a brilliant player in the making, Sterling could also be very good too if he just matures a bit and realises when its best to run with the ball or just pass it. By the looks of it we have some fairly good players coming through, but as shown against Ajax they are not quite ready yet.
Quick Question?

Our reserve team, isn't a reserve team as such. It's practically an under 19's side with one or two over that age on any given game, or sometimes not at all.
I don't know why we don't go and play a team like this at reserve level:
---------------------Doni--------------------
Flannagan--Coates--Wisdom--Robinson
--------------Shelvey--Coady-------------
Suso------------Texteira-----------Sterling
--------------------Ibe---------------------
Our most promising youngsters, mixed with the youngsters who are stuck in limbo with the 1st team.

Suso is a cracking player him and Adorjan.
Sterling needs to stop living off the hype and knuckle down, and keep it simple most of the time.

Robinson is injured. Not sure about Flanagan, He's played a few games this season. I think he tarins with the first team squad mainly.
I really like the look of Adorjan. Looks like he has a really good football brain on him.

I think Coady will be the one that makes it myself. Leader.

I reckon Wisdom has a good chance of making it, he doesn't panic on the ball and seems composed, well at least what i have seen of him.
