It gave players a taste of winning, was easiest to win, and set the tone for the rest of his time at the club. The difference was that Mourinho had an incredible squad at to work with in his first season after Abramovich's spending splurge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthEastVillan Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 (edited) As expected line up. Good mix of youth and experience and a start for Emi B and Duran Edited September 24 by NorthEastVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 surprised Carlos isnt starting tbh, he looked like he needs more game time to me. a little surprised to see Onana, but i guess he hasnt played the full 90 a few times, so isnt quite up to the minutes of most of the first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJCB Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Almost feels cruel to play Duran in his current form. It’s like city fielding an academy team and then throwing Haaland in up front for laughs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 That's a right mix, 3 debuts in the starting line up? Another 6 debutants on the bench? Will be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 24 Author Moderator Share Posted September 24 Interesting back line with Swinkels and Bogarde at CB. Strong in front of them and a really good chance for Young to make a name for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Interesting team, surprised he didn't pick Carlos to lead either of Bogarde or Swinkels through the match. I know they've played a lot of games together in youth football but it's an essentially totally inexperienced pairing at this level. Hopefully we have enough going forward that it won't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
