    Better be right about this too! I'd love to see him get a game for the first team.


    I agree with that.

    Alonso to play 60 minutes and then replaced by Plessis sounds like a possible scenario.
    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

      At least to be on the bench would be a big achievement for the lad.

          Don't think Xabi will be involved tomorrow.

            Cheers Will. Was just wondering if Rafa might try a youngster or two. Hope you are right.

            Mind you, if we lose, and bearing in mind that the blue****e are playing derby = 3 points then the gap will be back to 2 points. Dangerous game to play?

                Of the first team he is most like Xabi, sits, but can do the play maker thing as well. His range of passing in the reserves has been awesome. Not quite the destroyer he would need to be to hold down a first team place, but can do a job.

                  Sounds good if true. I put Alonso and Lucas down in a lineup in another thread but then I remembered how ****e they were against Luton.

                    You know, I am disappointed about Lucas. He is a top top class player. I think Rafa is looking to use this season to teach him how to play the holding role. It doesn't suit him though, he is a far better box to box midfielder than any we have on our books. Look at this from his Gremio days and hope that he will get back to that soon.



                    That Lucas would wipe the floor with the Arse.

                        Playing a kid in the league game between two CL games with arse could be extra ammo for the Rafa bashers.Is now the time to play a ressie??Can`t see it happening.He might make the bench IF Maestro`s mate is right.

                          I've watched all the reeserve games and him and Insua are the 2 I tip for the 1st team. Needs to work on breaking up the play though.

                            Technically is he good ? If he's compared to Viera he may well be.

                              Lucas and Plessis from the start then

                                I just think these young players may give the Arse a run for their money.
