We need to play all the new and fringe players in the upcoming friendlies. No point playing the likes of Bent, Crouch and Defoe as they simply aren't good enough. Give Sturridge a go, maybe Wellbeck. Add to that Johnson needs a full game on the wing as does Chamberlin. Have a look at Rodwell too. All we ever do is take the same players or someone who is too young and wont play.
I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, if Fabio does give these players a chance in the upcoming friendly matches, the press will rip him apart for playing a weakened team. I have never understood why the press, and large elements of the public, think results are more important that looking at new players and partnerships when it comes to friendly matches.
