He has, would have had more too if he'd not chosen to play for Spain u19s

 

Yeah. Was`nt he suppose to play against both Leeds and Arsenal, but lost out due to internationals??

 

I find it strange that young players dont pull out of youth internationals ( unless its a world/european championship), when they lose 1st team experience because of it. Playing first team football is far more important for their education.

 

Did`nt Martin Kelly pull out of one England squad, because he was involved with the first team squad?

Indeed. If fit I'd be tempted to go with Aquilani, Pacheco and Spearing as the midfield 3. Give the 3 that played against the bitters and Arsenal the break before City.

 

 

Fuck no. I want to see a strong side, with only Pacheco and Kelly starting and the rest made up of regular starters for us. It's the only way we'll learn anything about them.

 

And Amoo on the bench too please hopefully getting some minutes.

chance of him getting regular games is zilch!

 

gerrards first choice second striker,aquaman will be second choice and patches will be third.i can see he him leaving within 12 months

 

Its okay to have quality back up you know. And if their good enough, they'll force their way in. We don't have to sell them just because their not starting every game.

 

As a quick example, chelsea have j. cole, zhirkov and malouda (and that young frenchmen) for their left midfield slot. Their not gonna sell them just cause their not starting every game.

 

 

Having competition for places is what its all about.

Where would he play? I like him in a 'Beardo' sort of role, but i doubt he'd start there. I don't want the lad starting out of position. I agree though he deserves a chance - he's really, genuinely, champing at the bit.

 

I always thought he could play behind the strikers but in front of the midfield, in hole as it were.

Yes, he'd be ideal there, but I fear the Lucas-Mascher axis makes that unlikely. Once again, if Lucas is rested and gerrard comes back into midfield then that could work. Pacheco thrives around the edge of the area, so I'd hate to see him stranded on the left or right 'doing a job'.
