Tbf it's not some "local" cup , it's the FA Youth Cup, the biggest academy competition in England vs some PL international Cup that means nothing. Its a big deal this year especially as we've underperformed in it since we last made the final and we now actually have a decent and dangerous enough side to win.Exactly what I'm saying, do they play some local cup or have a go at PSV?
Wilshere himself will definitely want his strongest team available for it too as he won this competition as a player in 2009 when Steve Bould was u18 manager so he'll want to win it as u18 manager too. He doesn't get half these guys for the league games, at least he gets them for the Youth Cup.
