With the piles of injuries on the team and the growing ineffectiveness of Sanchez and Lukaku, I think it is time to throw in our youngsters into the first team. In my opinion this is the whole point of a youth set up. Chong, Gomes, Greenwood should be featuring in the team in the next few weeks as the likes of Rashford, Lingard and Martial get fit.
I just don't think we can expect on Sanchez and Lukaku are going to turn it around all of a sudden. If we play poorly, I would like it to be because we had youngsters in than trying the same old players and for them to continue disappointing us.
Time to gamble on our Youth.

Definately. Much rather see youth given a chance than Sanchez.

Greenwood is unfortunately injured too, but honestly wouldn’t mind throwing in Chong. This team has lacked genuine width for too long. Especially for a club that plys its tradition on wing play.

I'm with you Red. How do we know if they are good enough if we don't play them ?
Sometimes it works, eg Rashford, sometimes not.

Sanchez and Lukaku could start with the youngsters coming on if those two aren't doing it. It gives those two to stake a claim as well as the youngsters. If the latter impress, they can then take the places of Sanchez and Lukaku.

Exactly, I think now is there perfect time. We have a horrible injury crisis up top, and I don't think too many fans would be too upset to see this happen. Chong, Gomes, Greenwood (injury permitting) and Garner are all chomping at the bit. Let them loose.
