KDB on for Lukaku. Piazon moves up front

Id be dejected too if Malouda came on.

You are correct. Cant pass the ball at all.

Piazon playing out wide once. Nice.

Piazon and Hazard in!!!

Ya know the league isnt where you want it to be when Kyle Beckerman is an All Star.

Theres some good footwork from our 19 year old

Marin has to mix it up and be more decisive at the end. Great movement and energy but his last move and pass is always thr same.

Lukaku is 19. Thats all.

And the Captain!!!!

Lukaku much more decisive tonight. Like what i see from him

He just cost us the goal with some laziness

Lukaku looking alot more sharp so far. Good movement. Holding up the ball well too.

Marin and Cole! Cross the ball. Stop pulling a malouda

Rather have Kakuta playing that Yossi. Why is he even on the team. Just taking time away from youngsters like Josh, Kakuta, and Piazon.

Nope. Torres is not playing. Not match fit yet. Probably gonna be Lukaku and Piazon again up front

What kind of lineup are we expecting? I am assuming pretty strong considering RDM said some players may go the whole game. ..........................Cech............................ Ivan.........Luiz............Terry...............Cole ................Mikel..........Lamps..................... Ramires............Hazard...................Marin ........................Lukaku............................

I will be interested to see what number he gets. I can see him wearing 13, but it may depend if somebody leaves too. There arent a lot of numbers left. I dont see him getting 11 either.

Any idea what number he will wear? 13?

Are we wearing the away kit today? I saw that the MLS All starts are wearing kind of a dark blue shirt.

I just don't see it at this point with Josh. His loans moves have done nothing for him and the lack of playing time here is getting worse with the addition of Oscar (maybe) We aren't going to shell out 25 mil for a kid and then play Josh in front of him. I fear the same thing may happen for Piazon, who I personally think has more potential than Josh. We are just going to keep buying players to play in front of them without giving them a fair chance. Players like Josh and Piazon have domiated the reserve level and there is nothing else for them to do but be given a chance with the first team.

Just wanted some insight on this? What is our youth policy really? Do we even have one? This is the one thing that really frustrates me about the club. We seem to NEVER get a youngster through the system to play for the first team. And when I say play, I mean be a key player/starter. When is the last time we had somebody become a starter from our youth system? We seem to have these great young players and they get a couple first team cup games, get loaned out, and then transfer out of the club. I feel like this is happening again with the likes of Josh and others. I have really high hopes for Chalobah and Piazon and hope it doesn't happen to them, but it seems like our youth policy is "buy a 22-25 year old that can block our own youngsters." Now I get that there is pressure to win now and that's why we bring in players like Ramires, Mata, and maybe Oscar. I have no problem with these players, (I love them actually) I just feel we can do a better job getting a few of our own youngsters in the squad.

Just curious, with all the signings that have come in and some that have left, are we good with the homegrown rule?

Fair result. The play of Marin is interesting. It will be somehing to watch when Mata comes back because there is no way he takes a spot from Juan or Hazard. We also need Ramires engine, but there will he plenty of games to go around for players. Its good to have depth. Really excited for Piazon. Personally i have high hopes for the kid. He is unlike any other player we have. Really does remind me of Kaka.

Chalobah looks miles ahead of Hutch when it comes to instincts and ability
