Not sure if we have done this before to the same extent but it's something we should have done before. Yes the standards are as far as you can get in terms of the game but its a massive help to the sub's bench to ensure they stay fit and get use to the managers system. Most of the training during the week quite rightly will be used to work on the first team players. Also its good for the players to work with some of the players further down the pecking order.
Solonke also played and showed me nothing apart from thinking him and his agent has been smoking some seriously good stuff if the rumor's are correct with regards to wages he was asking for”

Thanks. Good to hear about Zouma. I wonder where we'd play him if (or when) he is back to his best. I think Luiz should continue in the central role of the the three if we stick to the current system. Perhaps play Zouma on the right and switch Azpil back to the left ?
But Cahill has been playing well recently, and then there's Terry and Ivanovic.
Still, it would be a nice problem to have.
