We're not winning the tournament <ok>

If that's the case why bother with a squad? Or subs?

... I think you are missing the point ... play Wilshire in the first game and we win ... it then comes out that he's picked up a strain so we are forced to make changes for the second game ... now that can happen to anyone ... but with the likes of Jack, Sturridge and Andy Carroll ... it's almost inevitable ... we may not be winning anything ... but we want to go as far as possible ... and you won't do that by losing key players in key positions <ok>

It all depends if he lasts the season without injury. If he does go injury free he'll 100% be on the plane.

Strange really as he couldn't even get in the Bournemouth team.

Normally I'd agree it's to big a gamble, but when you look at our options then it's one I'd definitely take. Think he'd also be useful off the bench in games when leading to help ball retention.

One of our biggest problem for years has been the inability to keep the ball when under pressure, which is why I'd also have Lallana in and around the first team.

He was in their team until the inevitable injury wasn't he?

If I remember rightly though that was a completely unrelated injury to what he's had before and was a bit unlucky.

Before Lallana got injured he was a key player for England. He's not back to his best yet but if he does he'll start. Definitely.

I'd have him start for sure if he remains fit, always been one of those players who takes a while to get up to speed after an injury. Front four of him, Sterling, Alli and Kane most likely.

Yeah got fit again though then played a couple before getting dropped iirc

Now you say that, I think you might be right.

If The Ox continues to develop like he has this season he might get a chance.

Drinkwater would if he had stayed at Leicester. Doesn't play enough at Chelsea to warrant his place imo.

Yeah that front four is definitely the most likely.

Watch the Utd fans come and stamp their feet about Rashford and Lingaard!!
 
On another note...

Hurry up BBC and BT and announce the ****ing quarter final dates <grr>

It's 3 ****ing weeks away ffs <steam>

Had a rough night so pulled a sickie. ****s an all that. Felt bad. Attempted to come on here - 1 post and I was done.

Throwing up and ****ting everywhere and I still talk sense. Hard as **** mate.

Slept on the sofa with a bucket.

Not that bothered about Lingard if I'm honest.

Rate Rashford more than you do though and would have him ahead of Sterling if Sterling hadn't been so good this season or if he had a poor build up.

I like Rashford and he deserves to go. It's the British public hyping him up too early.

Sterling's season can't be ignored, like you say.
