I have a feeling that we will see at least 30 minutes at the weekend for one of our younger players. Mourinho will want to send a message to the youth team that the opportunities exist if they step up.
Tanganga to start wouldn't surprise me, or Parott getting 30 mins.
I’d be thinking the opposite.
Clean slate with a squad of proven internationals who have reached the CL final and qualified regularly for that competition.
Go and prove to me you want to play for me and this team. (He will have watched them hundreds of times and know exactly what he expects of them).
Youth players that I don’t know. Prove your worth to me in training. Earn that place in the team.
Whichever senior players are left out of this squad, they are going to be feeling pissed off.
Let alone being left out for kids.
